  • Question: this is somwhat OT but could you tell me what SW is being used for this Forum? I really dig it and would like to change the Forum SW on my own site, which is currently kind of bland (SimplePress, cause my site is a WP site). Thanks !!
  • Yes on tap-tempo; that would be very cool. I don’t remember where I read it but there was an article about the iPad Pro taking over the traditional laptop for music production, in part due to the Apple Pen’s tiny point (versus my fat fingers) for high acccuracy editing and detailed work. I resisted buying a keyboard…
  • +1 - same here; new Logitech slim keyboard/cover for the iPad Pro...
  • With ableton link you can sync the clocks, but (right now) you can’t send/receive a start or stop signal. Link was originally designed so that multiple users could jam together with their clocks sync-ed. It looks like Link v3 has included start/stop so maybe with time this will get added too. But there is also “MIDI…
  • A similar question came up about the iVCS3 (over in the General Chat) Abe dendy posted this https://www.blipinteractive.co.uk/nanostudio2/user-manual/AUInstrument.html#au-compatibility Scroll down to the bottom. Have u tried restarting the iPad?
  • Yeah, the iVCS3 AU implementation seems incomplete - you can only access the VCOs and not the whole product... though it is cool that you can use the VCF as an FX plugin. The iVCS3 is one of my favorites so I hope ape will update it.
  • IDK - Reaper has a robust user forum so you can probably find out there, and dendy above said it would be updated in NS2 at some point. But I also need for NS2 to be able to generate MMC start/stop as well so I can trigger my iMS-20 app’s analog style sequencer.
  • Only the latest (v3) version of Link will transmit start/stop signals. Link was originally only for syncing clocks.
  • Right on, man! Thanks for letting us know!
  • Well FWIW I added Autony (another algorithmic sequence generator like Riffer) as a MIDI fx unit with Obsidian and it does work, but you can’t record the MIDI it generates (I think this has to do with the placement of the MIDI FX in NS2). Hopefully that might also get addressed in future updates.
  • I did something similar and left an app review for riffer (it hasn’t been posted yet) - it wasn’t overly critical, but yeah it seems pointless to have it as an instrument... they just updated it a week ago, so at least they are active...
  • Thanks for the help - Xequence does have Link and I can send and sync tempo data but not start/stop on the transport which is key for this to work. Looks like start/stop is a new Link v3 thing? http://cdm.link/newswires/ableton-link-v3-brings-start-stop-sync-and-now-its-in-audiobus-too/ I did snag the midi link sync app (a…
  • Thanks for the reply Will! Yes on all - background audio is enabled, all MIDI channels are selected (light colored) and I’ve toggled “Selected” and “Always” with the same results. Head scratcher... I know riffer is spewing MIDI with a MIDI monitor (MIDIWrench) and so far NS2 has been very well behaved for the simple midi…
  • How did you get it to work? I’m Running riffer externally,” Riffer MIDI_Out” shows up in NS2 on my obsidian track as MIDI input, but won’t trigger any notes when I play in riffer, NS2 does not show up in riffer as a MIDI destination. I’m using other apps to send MIDI into NS2 so I have that part down...
  • Agreed! For sampling to pads or key zones, slate and obsidian already have that covered. All I really want is a clean way to record my other synth outputs in perfect sync, and the ability to likewise trigger/record the iMS20’s sequencer and output. I can do that now with Xequencer and Auria in tandem, but the workflow is a…
  • I just downloaded and installed SPAUnit (now) which includes the AUv3 midi effect But it does not show up in NS2 in the MIDI fx panel (slot) for Obsidian or any other synth track. Does NS2 have a re-scan operation to find it? I understand from this thread that there are some problems to be sorted out, but I thought at…
  • I’m in the same boat - trying to leave Auria/Xequencer but need audio tracks and AB before I can finally make the switch. I’m loving NS2 (the sequencer is fabulous) and looking forward to updates that address Audio/MIDI recording. I’ve got too much $$$ invested in my non AuV3 synth apps to just abandon them.
