6X806 Drum Machine Synth

April 23, 2024

Updated Core code Updated Link and Audiobus API Fixed stability issues plugin USB audio devices

December 2, 2020

Fixed a crash when copying and pasting Adding auto-backup (last load, and 5 seconds) in case this happened again. Changed CH to TRK where it displays current selected track so it makes more sense Removed the old UI option as that sneaked its way back on. oops.

Updated network permissions for Audiobus + IOS 14 fixes

November 3, 2020

Fixed some crash bugs Updating screenshots to reflect updated latest look

October 15, 2020

Fixed some crashes especially on iPhone Added Tap Tempo BPM (just tap "BPM") Updated Audiobus to 3.12 Added double tap for increasing number of steps to 16 step increments. Added Play Capture to be in sync if pressed while sequencer is playing. Added info link for demo, help, email etc Updated GFX to be in keeping with latest style of TribeTron series of apps (from 7XWAVE) Pattern Play functions now removed as these were unreliable and since these were brought I before 64 steps / 4 bars were introduced they are not use much. I hope to add something better in later versions.

**** Big update with lots of new great useful features!**** (3.0 broke and 3.1 had a bug in the switch buttons (SORRY ABOUT THAT), so this is the fixed version): *. Added parameter set for almost all knobs per step (manually or while sequence is playing) Press P-Set to enable (flashing) Double tap P-Set to enter erase mode. Turning any dial will either set / lock that parameter to the currently selected or playing step on current track; or erase all parameter sets to all steps on current track. Colour of dial ring will be red when there is an active parameter on current step. You can clear all parameter sets for all active dials on the whole sequence using CLR params (in Edit Sequence). *. Added 3 bars for total of 4 bars and 64 steps per track . The bar the track is currently playing within will be shown across the top row step LEDs. Choosing Bar 1-4 in Edit Step area, selects which bar to enter steps into. *. Modified and reduced the gate time so if Gate mode on VCA is enabled, it's shorter and more noticeable for really short pulses of sounds. *. iPad UI mode. If using iPad, you can choose to either use the new UI layout that removes sub menus and allows you to access more knobs at the same time for more hands-on control. *. Changed Expand function so that it automatically extends length of track to 64 steps. This makes it easier to convert 4/16/32 steps to repeat to the rest of the bars so you can make subtle changes to the other bars, making your beats less repetitive. Example usage will be to make a 16 step beat, press Expand, select bars to edit beats. *. Added a Beat click slaved to track 1. When ever a step is played on track 1, you can also have an extra drum attack to boost the overall drum impact. Just press the "Beat on 1" button *. Updated AudioBus SDK to latest version. *. Updated Ableton Link to latest version including new slave start/stop. *. Updated step buttons to move away from the 909 look and more of a stylish 808 look. *. Updated the look, hopefully you will agree its much nicer. *. Updated core code. *. Minor improvement to BPM when not using Link. Its still preferable to enable Link even if not syncing to other apps

Fixed some frequency range to the filters. Sometimes the envelope would push them off into another universe. (More apparent with the band-pass filter) Pan and Bass levels from the mixer are now saved in the program. (Mixer Levels and Mute are not so you can fade between mixing patterns) Removed "Preview" button as this almost duplicated the preview track button. Replaced with P-Lock that locks the synth settings when loading a new pattern - it just loads the steps. Added a bit more sub bass. Edited the preloaded pattern when you first install. Fixed the parallel high pass so that the extents were within a more interesting audible range Added some more resonance to the filters. Added a bit more area at the low end of the cut off dial to play with. Some minor optimisation PLEASE NOTE due to some ranges being extended, any saved patterns may sound a tiny weeny bit different. Mainly if you used resonance, bass or hi-split filter level Previous recent updates: Added support for Bluetooth headphones and speakers (1.9) This update looks to fix a possible conflict in the Audiobus and Inter-App-Audio nodes. This could cause the nodes from not showing up or behaving properly in some apps. Previous update: (1.8) Some requested features and minor bug: Added increments of 1 to BPM control. Double-Tap for increment of 5 Added naming of exported loops with BPM and date/time amended to the filename. Refined dial control so you can cover most of the range from screen space but also micro adjustment when moving slowly. Also dial snaps to ends instead of wobbling at the end. Fixed incorrect recording length at start because the first ever capture was never trimmed properly. FYI previous update (1.6): Added INIT (initialise pattern) allowing you to start over with a blank pattern. Find this in Settings/System.
