A small 4-channel MIDI looper for live sequencing the 4 MIDI channels of my Analog Four, no audio, no FX, no AU. I cleaned up the interface by removing send and master and setting the upper section to multitrack mode (see first screenshot).

So far I'm happy with it, but there's one thing that's causing me confusion: the pattern bar doesn't adapt to the selected track but always displays the pattern number of the longest track (see screenshot 2). The notes within the sequence are displayed correctly, but the length of the track always remains the longest (which corresponds to the Main track).

Consequently, editing the length of individual tracks becomes confusing.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

I've figured out I can use the midi delay to nudge a sequence backwards BUT not how to nudge a while sequence forwards?

Any ideas greatly received!

Thanks!

I'm using Drambo for live looping and sometimes I make small mistakes while recording (bad timing, some wrong notes, etc.).

I control Drambo with an Akai MidiMix and would like to be able to erase the recorded track and reset it to 1 bar with just the press of a button while continuing to play so I can reset the sequencer and start a new recording.

Is there a solution?

Thanks

I want to control the Drambo app using TouchOSC on an external device (a smartphone). I have a few questions regarding this:

1. How do I connect the smartphone to Drambo via Bluetooth?

TouchOSC supports Bluetooth connectivity, but when I initiate a search, the smartphone doesn't find the iPad, and Drambo doesn't detect the smartphone as a Bluetooth device. I’ve managed to connect the devices using third-party apps (like Loopy Pro or Midimittr), but a direct connection isn't working. Is there a solution for this?

2. I can't get the feedback working.

I created an 8-step sequencer on the smartphone and linked it to the sequencer in Drambo. When playing, I can see the steps progressing on the smartphone. When I place steps in Drambo, they appear in TouchOSC. However, when I place a step on the smartphone (in TouchOSC), the step appears but immediately disappears. What might I be doing wrong? The sequencer is built using button modules. In the TouchOSC settings, each button is configured to both send and receive signals, and feedback is enabled in Drambo.

this is more of a launchpad x issue and not necessarily drambo, but since I can't find any useful information regarding both, I'll ask here - maybe someone had a similar problem with this daw + controller setup.

I recently upgraded my launchpad mini mk2 working with drambo without issues to newer and sexier X sibling. I created 4 custom modes in components, that are blank midi notes without light on different channels per mode.

The mapping in drambo works fine and it does what I want, but I have to touch the pads to light up. whenever I change custom mode - they don't light up automatically which makes it a bit unusable since you have to trigger every note to light the led up and get a visual feedback. I also had issues with leds blinking and not providing steady light, but found out that it's a mode slot related thing (which I don't know how to change).

I could possibly use the mapping based on conditions with launchpad in legacy mode, but utilizing 8 custom modes was one of the reasons i decided to upgrade the controller. If anyone has the device and is willing to help me out with it, I'll be grateful. Other workarounds and known limitations of lpx with drambo will also be appreciated.

Cheers!

Is there a quick and easy way to copy one track’s contents (modules/plugins and all sequencer data) to another track?

It’s a function I find myself wanting sometimes.

I'm trying to create octatrack style looper, for quick and hands on clip resampling and a fader between track and a sampler . The general idea seems to be quite easy to recreate, but I'm stuck with interfacing a flexible input source for the module. I want the looper to live on bus A, so I routed all of the track outs to A before they go to the master.

Here is what I have now. I don't have a big screen, so I can't really expand it and take a screenshot., but it's quite straighforward.

There are eight separate track audio inputs before the module interface, each of them being connected to corresponding n-1 switch. There are four layers of samplers using the same n-1 type switch with exactly the same connections. The switch sets an input source for a sampler (track) and I'm able to record a clip and sequence it. Then there is a x-fader slider that lets me shift between track input and recorded sequence.

This module works as expected, but I can't think of any elegant and interfaced way to create a bypass mixer, that would feed other (non-chosen on sampler/looper layers) track inputs directly to the master, while letting me fiddle with the ones I'm looping. Adding multiple sources to one input would also be really cool. I was thinking some complex morph and 1-n setups per each input, but maybe there is a cleaner and more efficient way to do it.

Thanks in advance for your magic, folks.

any of you have any of them chaotic attractors?

I guess it’s a bunch of LFOs and magic numbers. Maybe the code module could give a hand with some exponents, square roots, exp and log functions, and of course #persample

thanks

I want to use an Akai MPK Mini Plus with Drambo, and to be able assign samples to ranges of the keyboard so I can play a variety of sounds at the same time. Basically like I’m making a sample based synth that uses a variety of samples at the same time.

I’m not sequencing anything, just switching on the fly between samples assigned to the keys and pads, and ideally using the MPK’s knobs to control effects.

My over-30 year old sampler lets me play like this and has enough polyphony that allows repeatedly playing samples and layering it up with slow decays. When I bought an sp404mkii I was sad to realize it just doesn’t have the envelope controls and polyphony to do the same thing that ancient sampler does.

Could anyone please steer me in the right direction for tutorials or maybe a quick run through of th steps I should be taking to get started with this? Just feeling a little lost now

Or is it best to just record some of the frozen snapshot into Flexi Sampler and use it as regular sampled instrument?

Apologies, as always, if I’m asking stupid questions!

I have two questions :

Is it possible to change the number of steps of the Gate+Velocity Sequencer module with buttons? I would like to instantly change the number of steps of the sequencer by pressing buttons that sends values that correspond to that number of steps.

And is it possible to sync these changes with the beginning of the Gate+Velocity Sequencer cycle?

Thank you very much for your help!

I want to be able to make traditional choke groups, just across tracks, closed hat chokes open hat, tracks 5+6, etc.

The modulus stage is the key NE technique from Manis Iteritas. In signal processing terms, a modulus operation wraps a signal that exceeds a threshold back to the bottom — creating a sawtooth-like folding but with a different character to standard wavefolding.

right now I am using one of those serge presets (7 cycle I think) and it sounds close, but not quite right.

lets say it is the decay of a bass drum, to make a straight line of automation do I find a good decay and record a flat line through the whole scene first?

is there a way raise and lower the whole recorded automation line? I find it a bit of a struggle to grab the first node automation and to draw a straight line for a bar (four 1/16th steps) then to prepare for drawing up and down.

is there a way to Draw a straight line? It would be a nice button

-

Is this possible? If so, where did I go wrong?

Thanks a lot!

Apologies for asking what is probably more of a MiRack question on the Drambo forum.

Appreciate any advice!

I'm using a a knob on my MIDI controller to move a slider that controls a MIDI Switch.

However, I would like to control the MIDI Switch directly by touching its buttons too, switching directly to the intended number instead of sliding through the options. Currently, pressing the numbered buttons on the switch doesn't result in any change, the buttons seem to be selected and change colour but it doesn't change where the MIDI goes.

What's the best way to have the possiblity of using both the slider and the switch's buttons instead of just one or the other?

Thank you very much.

I let this module mute 9 racks in a mixer and try to find out with which combination of settings in the randomizer module I can avoid that to many of my racks are unmuted at the same time.

thank you for any idea!!

I do actually have a killer 8 track idea boiling, I want to take it to the next level.

ie: if I have an 8 beat pattern, it will record exactly two bars of audio

For the life of me, I can't get it to work...

It starts as expected, but it doesn't cut off at the correct time.

Anything obvious I'm overlooking?

I want to make a xy pad for note repeat. Preferably multiple pads to control gates and trigger different note repeat speeds, similar to koala sampler one. I recreated the og module from this thread in a form of midi rack:

it works good enough, but what I can’t figure out is how to connect gate from the xy pad to trigger the arp behaviour and not a shot sampler itself. Is it possible? Also, If i‘d like to chain multiple pad-arp combos to one input source, what’s the best way?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

however I cannot adjust the attack so….

How does one add attack to the Graphic Envelope?

I’ve tried the Slew Limiter, it’s really cool for adding release but useless for adding attack

and I also tried using the first envelope generator (AD) to trigger

the second envelope (Graphic Env) and mixing between the two and again no joy.

I tried a technique using the S&H module, but I got my Math wrong

(obviously otherwise I wouldn’t be asking 😉), using two Envelope Generators,

one for the Attack and when it hits peak then the Graphic Envelope should take over

to shape the decay.

Any suggestions?
