Lengthen piano roll to 96 bars Add follow playhead feature Add CC automation

Forgot in AUM you have to control App from it’s transport mechanism.

Beautiful app, simple and well-designed. But it appears that there’s no way to change the MIDI output channel from Channel 1. This is a fundamental oversight for an AU plugin intended for making music in 2019. Hopefully this can be added, but as-is, this is a serious limitation that I’m a bit surprised is an issue. There’s also an arbitrary 40-bar limit. I’ve also found that if you leave it open long enough, all instances of the plugin will crash. The quest for a decent standalone piano roll AU continues...

I’d give this 3.5 starts because of the massive flow, other than that, no issues so far. The app is fantastic and although I won’t go over the details you can certainly verify what I mean by looking up a video about it. What’s my issue with it then? The reason I dropped a star? Well, it is almost a bit astounding that App’s Piano Roll, a “midi looper” amongst other things... has no way of mapping the record loop function to a midi command. I honestly don’t know why stuff like quantization is available as a parameter yet the most basic and important of the “should be mappable” functions doesn’t even make it into the list. If I’m recording with my keyboard I certainly do not wanna have to move one hand just to press the iPhone screen and tell it to record. This problem is compounded by the fact that there are no pre-rolls for the recording or any settings on how to record the clips. How am I supposed to press the record button and then actually play something if I need to use one hand just to activate the app? A big miss from the developers, in my option. Please add as a mappable midi function the “record loop” function! . Anyway... good job devs! Just please... please, don’t let this one go and do add in some more needed love to the AUv3, it really would be massive. UPDATE 1: Well, here to complain a little bit further. By checking a little further the AUv3 parameters that are exposed I came to realize that recording isn’t the only essential parameter that hasn’t been exposed to the user. A nice parameter to have would be the number of bars the best will use, it is not a big deal but it is a bit tedious to expand such range manually especially on an iPhone. Since I regularly open instances of Piano roll, I end up doing this all the time as 2 bars isn’t much to work with. Besides, I have come to realize that it is impossible for me to record with Piano Roll when utilizing my AKAI MPK Mini MK-II on a live setting. Why? I have no idea but notes get muted and quantized very weirdly when playing and recording at the same time, even with “Snap to grid” off. Weirdly, once the loop is recorded, the intended “sound” comes through and suddenly all those weird mutings and quantization issues disappear, however since they happen while you are recording it is very distracting and usually leads to messing up your playing, as often, no sound is produced while you play or it is produced at a different time from your keyboard pressing. I’ve noticed this doesn’t happen with ApeMatrix’s keyboard so it seems to either be a problem with external midi, or just the AKAI model. I have an electric keyboard I can use to test further and I’ll report on this later, but I’m already expecting problems to be honest. If there aren’t any, then I’m just a bit unlucky, but I don’t see why the MPK would be the issue given that it works just fine with everything else I use. Also realized, there’s no way of remapping the midi channel? This is also a HUGE miss. I’d like to be able to change the channel through the piano roll as opposed to having to open an AUv3 that does something entirely different but has this functionality, simply cause the Piano Roll does not allow me to remap the MIDI channel. This is ESSENTIAL for a piano roll, I am sorry but it really is. Midi functionality should be top notch on a product that is meant to loop and record midi stuff, and memory is precious on iOS. Wasting processing power and memory on an extra instance of whatever, simply to remap a midi channel, is really terrible. Unfortunately, performance isn’t great already (lagging with 3 instances on an iPhone XS and 3 beathawk instances, that’s a bit low on the complexity spectrum) so dealing with this issue would really be amazing. I also haven’t had any success capturing MIDI CCs, and obviously PCs either. Sorry devs, but I’m not so happy anymore, your product shines when it does (lol) but more often than not there are too many issues to get around which I find very annoying. Plus you haven’t updated in 5 months which makes me think this is probably not gonna be an app where my feedback will be taken into account. It is unfortunate as it really has a lot of potential, but I doubt any updates will address my issues. Although Poly ARP Unit isn’t really the same as this, I might just end up sequencing stuff in there as it is more precise and takes less time. This might just be because my keyboard isn’t working properly with the app, which really frustrates me. However, External MIDI issues, the lack of MIDI channel remapping, CC and PC recording, and lack of proper AUv3 parameter exposition to the user makes this a bit of a missed opportunity. If I ever really need a complete piano roll experience, I’ll have to use Xequence 2 whenever Piano Roll just doesn’t cut it. Unfortunately, that is the case a bit more often than I would like. I will probably still use from time to time it as it does give nice results when it works and is good for quickly sketching ideas inside ApeMatrix, AUM or AudioBus, but there’s many compromises that I simply wouldn’t have to do put up with if I decided to fire up Xequence 2 instead (which isn’t AUv3 unfortunately). UPDATE 2: contrary to my initial belief, the app still alive and an update is on the works. I read another “negative” (3 stars comment) stating the issue with no MIDI Channel selection. Given that all the other reviews are 5 stars (except for the classic 1 star review of someone whom most likely just didn’t understand the product, as this is certainly not even close to being a bad app at all, even with its current issues). The fact that an update is on the works really makes me happy as I’m sure it’ll only mean I will get to see this product get to its full potential. Thanks for that and I’ll definitely try to join the beta as recommended.

Add solid midi editing to weak DAWs with this great AU plugin. DAW won’t loop cycle? Use App. DAW has wonky dumb tools? Use App! Expanding length and adding file export will be the greatest additions I can think of. (For now you could use Photon.)
