MidiStep for iOS - MasterClass #8 - Hive Mind

[@rgrandles]

This is a very useful feature, love it as I can create things despite my adhd. It allows me to organise the mix. The other great thing is you can have an extra groove in the background which you can change on the fly independently of the sections. Makes for a fabulous tool for creation….

This is a super product, don’t miss out and get it for Christmas…

Have a great, restful, and peaceful holiday Paul. (and David)

[@kitschbreeder8546]

Beautiful progression Paul. I was just launching multiple instances in aum.

[@Rustik1722]

Hey Paul hope your feeling well

[@Mr.Cockney]

Mr. Paul, you have levelled up the app a lot ! The “Hive mind” concept is very useful: now we can write sections of a song more easily and out of one midi file, because it is possible to tweak instruments with more precision, with randomness added (not possible in a fixed midi), more complexity but under control. Have you created a DAW without noticing it?

[@MachineSequence]

Jeez Paul you’re developing this faster than I can watch the Masterclasses! 😂 Great job on the Drum Mapping and Hive Mind. Do you foresee hosting the most common iOS Drum Machine mappings inside MidiStep to save everyone having to create them separately? Thinking OneShot, DrumComputer, Playbeat3, FAC Drumkit, the Ruismakers, Hammerhead?

[@PaultheMusicMan]

I would prefer to keep MidiStep purely a MIDI generator if I'm honest.

[@SěmtêxČØŴv2.0]

I don’t know how you keep making your apps better, but thank you 👏👏👏👏🙏. Saw Jades show last night, and picked up a few more 4pockets apps to give a little support. All the best over Christmas, hope you have a great time, Paul The Music Magician 🎄🎄🎄.

The amount of options is really impressive. Still hoping for a random walk feature, but it's already so great!

[@GregoryRiker]

Have you tried using the random jump feature in the Step lane?

[@moonstrobe]

@@GregoryRiker Yep, but it's usually less melodic than a random walk, where it only jumps to adjacent steps. It's in ZOA for example, and it can do some nice variations. A really fancy random walk would allow for customizing how many steps a jump could be and the probability that it happens. One can wish :)

[@GregoryRiker]

An alternate approach would be to create a chord with a palette of acceptable notes, set the chord step to RND, and the complexity to 1. This will cause a single note to be randomly selected from the chord at that step. Alternatively, select a tonic note at the step, set the chord step to RND, and complexity to 1. This will generate a random note at that step based on the current key and settings in the Random Note Settings dialog.

[@moonstrobe]

@@GregoryRiker Thank you, I will have to try this.

[@edzielinski]

Fantastic. This is exactly what I was looking for. Being able to sync up these instances like this is a huge step forward (pun intended!). This is going to be fun!🙏 Thanks Paul, and Happy Christmas to all🎄

[@kikiteevee6969]

Hey Paul, firstly kudos for MidiStep (and all your plugins). I think it may be my fave of the year. Just one question - is there anyway to save the Key per pattern? I'm trying to setup a key change at say pattern 8 but the Key option seems to be global.

[@kikiteevee6969]

Apologies Paul, saw the process in Masterclass 4 after a kind soul on the Loopy Pro Forum pointed me in the right direction.

[@Francesco-L]

Awesome update. Thanks a lot. Wish you great and peaceful holidays!

[@Recloh]

You are the best! When you activated random notes on chords - why don't they show on the keyboard while playing?

[@PaultheMusicMan]

This is an option we discussed, although it doesn't do it at the minute.

[@michaelkinsley29]

Excellent I am looking into this as yet another one of your apps to buy. I have a feature request for your other excellent app which you can update as a suitably priced IAP. So I would like independent control of each of the generated harmonies as follows Melo Vox [excellent for harmonies, etc] independently Voice modeller for each harmony while preserving the original vocal + Formants / [mix of odd - even] Overtones present FROM ORIGINAL vocal Male - Female (... Young - Mature) + Amplitude - Volume + ADSR + Resonance size & shape of [Chest / Throat / Nose / Mouth] + Vocal range behavior lower male register reduce certain harmonics, higher range increase certain harmonics to add clarity, etc Air Flow [airy breath / growl / falsetto / noise = overtones very slight offset ]

[@kitschbreeder8546]

Someone make a loopy gui template for this madness

[@PaultheMusicMan]

Greg Riker already has one... lol

[@kitschbreeder8546]

@@PaultheMusicMan love ya Paul! god bless. where can i find?

[@PaultheMusicMan]

@@kitschbreeder8546I just realised his template loads a number of default apps such as DigiStix, Chameleon and MIDI Strummer and I doubt you have all these apps. I'm not so competent with Loopy Pro as Greg Riker, and it was he who sent me the template project. If you email me I can send you the template he sent me, but on reflection it may be of limited use to you. (email - info at 4pockets dot com).

@@PaultheMusicMan your bundles make this prospect ever more viable my guy. I plan on picking up strummer and chameleon for sure. Anything else compliment Helium that I should be aware of?
