However I am not sure if this is a feature or a bug and would like to know how to handle this. When I start a new project and don’t save it once and then move away from the app around 20 minutes, the project is gone. Loading the auto save project gives me an empty project. I would assume it would actually autosave.

second if I save and then away from the app, the project is gone too. However when loading the autosave it’s coming back.

so a couple of questions: why isn’t autosave saving an unsaved project (would make sense to me)? Why doesn’t “load autosave on startup” not actually load the autosave? Why is the autosave on the local files and not on iCloud even when I save to iCloud?

Having this part of Drambo figured out would make me trust the process even more.

again: thank you for this app.

The sawtooth and pule wave shapes coming from the Oscillator modules show up slightly off-shape. Sine and triangle are as expected.

This occurs with all the applicable oscillator modules: Oscillator (mini), Oscillator, Oscillator (PM).

Thanks for reading!

It’s also linked from the official Drambo help page.

I'm the proud new owner of a Macbook Air with an M chip that means I can run Drambo on a computer! Having loads of fun already. I've found my best method of getting audio in to Ableton from the huge set that I've made for live performance is to reroute audio via Blackhole (like soundflower for those that remember) but what I'd really like is for the multi channel versions to work - I can only see an output for USB1+2 in drambo. anyone know if this is possible?

I’m updating the Drambo manual and I’d love to base it on real situations where people got stuck. (especially newbies)

If you’ve struggled with something in Drambo, please share:

• what you were trying to do
• what part confused you / where you got stuck
• what you wish the manual explained

Even a couple of lines is enough. Thanks!

I’ll use these to add practical examples and workflows to the manual.

unrelated but related, the lack of a project level undo really makes it risky.

I get why, but having it included also breaks tap tempo. some additional features, like double or half time, (maybe other divisions) could aid in its usefulness. it can be hard to lock these intervals in by modulation alone.

Just ideas!

Currently I am using the both elegant and ugly workaround to control the speed of an LFO with the MIDI controller and let the square from the LFO generate a MIDI CC that is sent via MIDI feedback back to Drambos control port. Now I can map this CC to Tap Tempo. It works but I wonder if there is a more direct approach.

I notice when I tap on the tempo in MIDI mapping mode a window with mappable settings shows up. The top left one looks like it's the BPM rate but it's only half visible on the screen. I was able to map it but did not change the tempo.

love drambo and all of its updates immensly. One thing I wondered: is there a way to use DX7 patches in the Macro oscillator (which uses the Mutable Instruments Plaits code if I am remembering correctly)? is this possible or just a crazy idea?

best regards

Is this the best way? I somehow feel it probably isn’t!

• Timestretch
• Stem separation
• Better audio loop handling, with better pitch algorhytm, tempo match for 2, 4 bar length
• Drumkit handling

To explain more precisely, I often want to modulate a parameter on a sound generator, based on volume, but placing an envelope follower after the generator obviously doesn’t allow to modulate back in time (right to left in Drambo) to the generator. Placing the envelope follower before the sound generator obviously means it doesn’t have any audio signal to react to.

So, for example, I just wanted to modulate the resonance of the filter in Dagger using its own volume and the envelope follower module . Is that simply not possible?

a strange thing to macro osc. on my iphone 6s.

the pitch is different when playing through internal speaker or external speaker.

makes no difference if the external speaker is connected via bluetooth or line.

it seems to be a 100 and something cents lower.!?

other oscillators play fine.

can anybody confirm this?

greetings

Possible bug? Swipe down on audio nodes doesn’t seem to delete them for me as the in app help suggests?

Idea: the sampler is fun and quick to use - any chance of having an ‘Export to Flexi (or other Drambo sampler) Sampler’ option which would package the samples and mapping from the Otoo into a format recognized by the Drambo sampler?

One thing I haven't found a great solution to though is how it handles pitch bend when using it as a synth. I can't find a way to control the actual interval it uses as this appears to be hard coded to an octave within the MIDI CV module. Appreciate fully decoupling this from the module may be straightforward, but would it be possible to add a setting in the MIDI CV module to adjust the interval (ie. +/- 2 instead of 12)?

Thanks for the amazing software @giku!

thanks in advance!

(You can not launch ipadOS version of drambo on sip disabled apple silicon macs, neiter standalone or auv3 plugin version).

Didn't find any solutions to that.

One thing that slightly works is using sideloadly on standalone version of drambo, but in this case you need unencrypted (pirated) IPA file. Which is not ideal.

Any possibility of releasing dedicated macos binary of drambo? (or maybe separate au plugin).

I just want to make a sketch on ipad, then contunue in ableton with the same drambo and same controller. While not loosing my macos customizations.

This time, it's a VST3 too, for Windows or Mac.

WHAT IS AUGMATIC GRE:

🟣 Augmatic GRE is an algorithmic MIDI drum‑pattern generator inspired by the iconic Mutable Instruments Grids Eurorack module and expanded with a Euclidean engine.

🔴 It lets you effortlessly blend total randomness and perfectly locked loops.

🔵 Combined with a unique Linear Drumming feature and Velocity Bender, Augmatic GRE can play patterns that sound natural, as if they were performed by a real drummer.

🟡 Drum fills, breaks, variations, flams, evolving grooves - what normally takes tedious manual sequencing - can be done live, with a single sweep of a slider.

_________________________________________________

MAIN FEATURES:

✅ 6 Algorithmic Channels - Bass drum, snare, hi-hat, plus accents which create complementary rhythms, not duplicates. Each channel can generate its own rhythmic voice for rich, layered drum patterns.

✅ Topographic Engine - Morphable, evolving beats based on the Mutable Instruments Grids Eurorack module. Navigate an X/Y map of interconnected drum patterns extracted from actual drum loops with smooth interpolation between patterns.

✅ Euclidean Engine - generate evenly distributed, world‑inspired rhythm patterns. Configure steps, hits, and start position independently on each channel for precise control.

✅ Blend Control - Crossfade between Topographic and Euclidean patterns to introduce variation while preserving the core character of your groove.

✅ Linear Drumming - Control which drums play together or play alone. Each sound has room to breathe. Creates clean, articulate patterns. Used in Hip-Hop, IDM, Funk, Fusion.

✅ Velocity Bender - Shape velocity dynamics for a more expressive, dynamic pulse. Create ghost notes, and rhythmic emphasis that bring patterns to life.

✅ Groove Tools - Swing, humanization, clock division, and timing shift. Fine-tune the feel of your patterns from tight and mechanical to loose and human.

1. Help mode. A toggle button. When active, any control you touch shows a brief bit of help text on the screen. It really helps people learn the UI. Apps with no text can look clean but can also be hard to figure out. Not sure I would have worked out the stop-note symbol without the manual.

2. Already mentioned elsewhere - MIDI in and out

3. Get someone to to a better YouTube tutorial! Gavinski's is not up to his usual standard (sorry Gav). He's a nice guy but he doesn't seem to understand the app, doesn't like the workflow/genre and his video ends with him complaining about his income! And he completely ignores the sampler. I think he was just having a bad day but there are currently not any other in-depth vids out there, just a few short demos. ( I do agree with him on the sharp symbol though...)

4. Consider an AUV3 plugin version so we can run it in AUM. It wouldn't be able to host AUV3 but it would make it easier to integrate it into a larger setup. Ideally it would come as both an audio and midi plugin.

5. Some sort of integration with Drambo. If this sounds vague it's because it I don't really know what I mean or what is possible but being able to run it alongside or inside Drambo would be fun.

I realise that 4 and 5 are lots of work but hey, if we don't ask we don't get.

Even without all this stuff it's a great app at a great price. Thanks!

but if the project is playing the LED value only shows briefly when a note is held then goes black (it does work correctly if only one p-lock note is in the sequence)

So, what I've done is put a MIDI INPUT + MIDI OUPUT in the track, to hear the controller beyond the SELECTED TRAK feature... but, when I put a MIDI INPUT, the sequencer can't be heard anymore...

what am I doing wrong? can anyone help me?

I have some functions mapped with Drambo internal shift button. The leds works perfecty well when shift is pressed. (eg: Shift + Pad1 = Pattern 1 select. Without shift the Pad 1 don't do nothing, but led still showing up)

If there is light on state with the shift, the leds will not switch off when shift released, (0 state).

So i don't want to see the leds for the mapped functions when shift is not pressed . (there is no function mapped without shift)

Any solution?

I have the LPX Groovebox A mapping profile selected but it isn't working very well. Probably user error.

Every pressed pad outputs a midi note and plays whatever is on that track. Also the first step of the sequencer pads isn't lit up and when the playhead goes through it doesn't light up.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

if you are into creating beats, this might be interesting for you - I have released Augmatic GRE - an AUv3 plugin which generates evolving drum patterns.
