I have a feeling that the shift register is a powerful module, but I struggle to find inspiration for how to use it.

anybody here who can give me some hints?

I am mainly interested in creating effect processors.

cheers :)

I have an Alen Heat Xone K2 controller. When setting up with drambo I encountered some difficulties.

1. The button backlight does not work when pressed. I noticed the same thing on launch control.

2. The top row of encoders has infinite adjustment. When I assign this encoder to switch layers, when I turn it, it turns on either the first layer or the last one. A regular encoder allows you to switch layers smoothly.

3. The controller has three layers with flexible settings. I can choose what will change when switching layers - encoders/faders/buttons or all together. But in Drumbo mapping only works in the all together mode. Although I did not notice such a problem in other applications.

Xone K2 is a cool controller! It has a built-in sound card on board and the ability to connect several devices together. I paired it well with the djay pro app. And I would like to use it with drambo.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can solve these problems?

I’m working a sub bass / 808 thing were you the note might extend quite a long time, and I want to trigger envelope modulations without any midi trigger.

I want to put a basic processor rack on every track so i could add some filter, reverb and delay on the fly, triggered on/off by a controller.

I made it this way, but sound going to master is unprocessed regardless of a module on/off state. What am I missing? I assume there is a need of mixer, but I keep failing to patch it correctly.

Thanks in advance!

First either the standalone Radio Unit nor the auv3 in Drambo could connect to my lokal Icecast Server.

So the problem seems to be, that ios asks you to allow the connection to the lokal network after Radio Unit tries to connect itself.

In the network settings of ios, Radio Unit was allowed, but without result. Drambo instead, didn‘t appear, even that I tried to start the icecast connection with the auv3 of Radio Unit in Drambo.

To allow Drambo the connection to the lokal network, I startet webdav in the Drambo settings.

But even then no results, although vlc mediaplayer could get this connection with the same parameters (http://192.xxx.xxx.xx:8000/stream) and without problems from the first trial to connect vlc to the icecast server.

I deinstalled Radio Unit. Reinstalled, tried it several times by deleting the new icecast station in Radio Unit and creating it again.

After perhaps three times suddenly it was connected!

Conclusion: in regard to the vlc mediaplayer, it would be nice to prove the code, to make it easier to connect Radio Unit with the lokal network.

so long, Bernhard

I tried to ask about it on a Facebook group, but got no answers so far.

I'm trying to map controller steps/cells to midi buttons (i have a controller with 16 sequencer style buttons, but the problem also persists on any controller I tried to map). What I want to achieve is:

1. I click the button on a controller
2. Last played note appears in or disappears from corresponding and mapped sequencer cell (like using it with a finger in drambo or any hardware seq

I enter the mapping mode, map the sequencer cells and it doesn't work. I can only put one note after another in a record mode, but after the second note is being placed it's doing something weird - selects next cell, deletes another one and acts generally unpredictable.

I've seen videos of midi controllers being mapped to drambo sequencer and working as expected, so I know it's technically possible, but I don't understand what is happening and what I'm missing.

I'm able to edit my controller buttons to work in toggle/gate mode, to send cc or notes on a channel of my liking. Is there a specific type of midi input that will make the sequencer mapping work?

Thanks for any feedback and tips. If necessary, I can provide the video of what is happening in drambo when I press previously mapped buttons. Cheers!

Power it on, hold "@" and "B" on the controller and start MIDI learn in Drambo.

I've mapped tap tempo to D (bottom), loop mode to C (top), play to B (left), record to A (right) and switching between scene A and B is joystick down.

I own tone boosters plugins that do a good job at introducing noise to the final mix but I’d favour in-house Drambo solutions.

At this point the only thing I do is send some filtered noise to the filter and that’s been generally pretty good.

What do you use?

Hi everyone. Newbie here.

I am discovering the basic UI tricks of Drambo. And I need a clarification.

(I hope I will use the right terms. Please correct me, if needed)

Odysseyi app does not exist as a AUv3 plugin. So I launch it in parallel to Drambo, enable its « background audio » setting and set its MidiIn to 2.

In Drambo, in track 1 of my project, I add a Midi Output pointing at Odysseyi channel 2. Now I can control my Odysseyi from Drambo.

Then my Drambo project has more tracks, and I am used to mute/solo a given track with the swipe up/swipe down gesture (that track then appears in purple or black or dark grey, corresponding to its « status » : solo/normal/mute).

Unfortunately, that gesture has no real action on the Oddyseyi track, and I always hear the ARP sound, whatever the « status » of the track in Drambo.

Is there a way to mute the Odyssei from Drambo ?

PS: I also have an issue that the « Master »knob of my track 1 (:the one at the top right corner) does not change the sound level of the Odysseyi. I wonder if both issues can be corrected with a proper setup of my track 1.

I am still enjoying Drambo a lot! Does anyone have tips for Polyrhythms (not Polymeters) using Drambo? Atm I mostly use Patterning for this, but I am wondering if it can also be achieved using Drambo’s Sequencer.

Here's my incomplete control surface. The buttons at the top trigger send knobs. The faders below those are a macro on each track. The faders labeled below those are my reverb and delay controls and the buttons at the bottom are going to be scene triggers. It's really fun having full control on one screen. My mutes/solos and volume are on a Nanokontrol at the moment. Everything I need all super compact and no paging. Oh yeah and I dig how they can be the size I want. Nice large controls.

Using Unison set to 2 and spreading the pan like this makes your synth into 2 synths panned left and right that can each have their own settings. The spread knobs above in the envelope and filter modules let you set the difference between the left and the right. I just thought it was super cool.

Are there any existing templates for a Launchpad Mini? I've used the novation custom template editor before but I'm just starting with Drambo and don't think I'm up to mapping it out for myself yet.

Also, I'm running Drambo under AUM

Thx!!

everyone who’s who here has done their own take 😅 which is great!

but to spare me going through each and everyone, could you please suggest some of the simplest ones to study, if my goal is something like the looper MFX in pure acid? I want to learn the techniques for the looping (buffer modules, etc), I know there’s a lot of magic going behind the seeming simplicity of PA’s looper, hence I would like recommendations for simpler patches (baby steps) and of course tips and tricks

I’m not trying to replicate PA’s looper per se, this is more like a learning experience

This is my new favorite thing.

I currently have a mid side rack which has a Stereo to L/R followed by the add and subtract math modules to get the mid and side out of it. I then have racks within the rack to process each path independently and then recombine on the other side with more math modules and an L/R to stereo. This is working ok, but immediately out of the gate colors the sound more then I would like. When you then add a few peaking eqs into the mix even before tweaking the settings it’s colored even more.

This isn’t a huge deal for creative sound design, but I was hoping to use the technique in an all Drambo mastering chain I’m cooking up. is this inherent to the Drambo audio engine? It sounds like subtle phase issues. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. I can upload some audio and patch examples later as well!

I'm a fan of stripped down things that are super powerful and this is a great example. For the longest time I would use only 1 modulator for most my sounds and if I felt the need to go beyond that I'd go overboard and use 3-4 but 2 is the sweet spot.

A trick I picked up on how to make feedback type sounds without actually using feedback. 

The Scale module mixes the voice with an Offset that is being modulated at audio rate. Lowering the Amount knob allows the modulated voice to break through more resulting in what sounds like feedback. With the Saturation maxed out the modulated voice ends up only being audible on the edges of the cycle which has an unusual sound. 

Also worth noting is the Pulse Width Modulation that's achieved by raising and lowering the Offset amount.

Below I'm mixing the crackle sound with a Sine so you can hear it's frequency. I'll post one in a moment that doesn't have the Sine.

(screenshots are showing the Kiwi mod with more controls)

load the drambo AU

load your project from iCloud 2x in 2 separate tracks

on track 1 delete all melodic tracks

on track 2 delete all the percussions

now you have drums and melody/harmony on different tracks.

now its time for a new bassline from live

much easier now to do whatever ...

this makes use of the integrator module with some math provided by @rs2000

I’m seeing all sort of uses for this…modulation, modular tap sequencing, maybe even a looper?
