i wish apple made web-midi available in safari.
right now we would have to wrap the web-app in a app container, doable but kinda hoping there was an open-source project for it instead

we have a full factory-content restore in alpha now. hoping to publish first week(s) in january

the zipā€™s floating around will not provide you the preset ā€œprojects-kitsā€, nor the correct play-modes and envelopes as those are not embedded in the .wavā€™s

There is even a webmidi browserr in the appstore but last update is 7 years ago and it doesnā€˜t work with the KO, i tried it. I learned that way that basically everything is safari (webkit) just with a different skin and slightly different set of features.

And hereā€˜s why apple probably never will allow it

yes, will be sorted!



saw that you sorted it by running again. what desktop-os vs browser version did you use?

try upgrade again, you can power-up while holding the REC button which will force it to stay in ā€˜bootloader modeā€™, then go to the update page and try once more.
please do (Option + āŒ˜ + J (on macOS), or Shift + CTRL + J (on Windows/Linux) in your browser and if you see an error message in the javascript console, drop it here or DM me



thanks for reporting. we will work on this + midi in general



seeing people ask about L+R being swapped,
this is known and fixed in 1.1.2 which will be out soon



thanks @djadonis206 :pray:
resampling will happen, solves many things like baking lpf/hpf filter + fx into a new sample. also looking at some other creative ways to use the resample feature. stay tuned

We need audio over USB C!
sampling / mangling / editing and recording back to the daw in sync with just 1 cable!

TE-David now that we on the subject of adding cool workflow features to a next udate please consider this.

My personal workflow i donā€™t finish anything on the KO II itself but i do kickstart a lot of the meat and potatoes of my projects specially drums. Last project I finished the drums came straight from the KO II. The way i managed to record the patterns to the daw to keep producing / mixing the track was recording the pattern in sync while soloing each individual pad and just making 4 bar runs of each of the different elements. This give me the idea that perhaps it would be possible to setup the machine on a ā€œdumpā€ mode that once you set it up like with a keyboard or so and you hit play the machine itself will solo for the duraction of the pattern each individual pad where there is actual midi / note information recorded to it. I hope this make sense. Basically you command the machine to wait for a incoming sync signal and record enable a incoming stereo track on the daw , hit play and it will record /dump each individual used pad / channel in sync to be further edited that way, editing is done in a breeze in terms of workflow.

i donā€™t know of any sampler i have that does this automaticallyā€¦ not sure if its difficult in terms of programing, but that would be realy handy i feel.

Roland SP404mk2 is your friend.

this would obviously take a while (since real-time) but kinda like the idea.
our sysex implementation for the backup-tool has the info and could be used to achieve this (with a separate script)ā€¦

weā€™re also looking at if traditional MIDI bank select would make sense to change scenes and patterns from a DAW or a controller. this would allow doing a bit what you explain. even though we would do it automatically, in the end itā€™s only you that knows in what order patterns would play, for how many bars etc.

Iā€™m loving what youā€™ve been putting down @te-david

Iā€™ve been having a ball with KO2 and hearing your comments further validates the decision to grab one early. The fact youā€™re online answering users on a Holiday says a lot.

Thank you :pray:t4:

yea something ala SP404 mk2 but way more lighter on the backpack LOL!

Just curious (developer here with some Apple platform experience, as well as some free time :sweat_smile:), would there ever be any interest in some sort of open source library for talking to the device from Apple platforms?

Swift packages are pretty good now, multiplatform (Mac and iOS+ in the same package) and if something foundational is open sourced, that can prevent ā€œapp store rotā€ from infecting companion apps and rendering them inoperable, buggy, etc. as time goes on.

The web app right now is pretty awesome, but as a fan of native Apple things I bet itā€™d be even nicer to use a native app.

@te-david, I was on the fence about the KO2, but this is the kind of thing makes me want go ahead and buy it. In fact, Iā€™ve been taking a closer look at your other products since seeing you active here. Cheers to you and merry Christmas!
