Such an excellent tutorial. I saved it so I could watch it when I had the time to study MIDI Strummer and use it properly, and I’m glad I did. Thank you, friend!
Paul has delivered again. Unbelievable the frequency with which he blows out one powerful app after the other. Very useful in the original sense of the word, but I would definitely feed it into synths more often. Combined with a bit of layering with some granular stuff (btw, does it have multi-out?) I'm sure it works well, not only for soundscapes. But good to have a very capable strummer in case a ‘real’ guitar or piano is needed. And agreed, adding own chords via external midi would be a great benefit, along with the other things you mentioned in the video. There is not the slightest doubt that Paul will soon complement and you feel in good hands. Top tutorial, thanks Gavin!
I bought this a couple of days ago and began the journey...so today I did no work ..work but rather spent all day producing piano and guitar accompaniments to piano motifs and choral stuff I have been working on. The work flow is amazingly rapid and sonically the app is very malleable and therefore I found my creativity enhanced. I took your tip in relation to using Mosaic for humanization and found this worked really well. In a world short of resources we in the AUM community are blessed with the huge array and quality of tools available. Knowing that AUM is potentially migrating to the next generation of Macs I’m getting my house in order while top quality apps are still in the price region of a Pint ,a Pie and a packet of crisps. Best Limbic 🙏🦄🎩👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sounds like a great day. I love how you can also never resist the comparisons between app prices and pints, pies and a packet of crisps. Given the price of a pint these days, getting a nice app or three instead certainly seems like a bargain.
Gavinski’s Tutorials It’s so true re the bargain aspect and the throw away statements about pies and burgers. ..possibly including kebabs and buckets of God knows what 🤣🤣.. I see the smallish but growing community of Aum v3 users and developers as the new wave of musical explorers .... i see this technology exponentially diversifying...expanding scope ...increasing in cost 🤭..but right now in these Klondike times we are in we.. you ..me .. almost anyone can achieve wonders for very little investment ( exhibit 1 Piano Motifs) and may I say a little music theory. Following trends and tech developments the platform in my opinion will go global and main stream on Apple lab tops imminently...almost certainly becoming more exclusive in financial terms. I’m not a communist by any means but I believe artistic expression of musicality is a wondrous freedom,and the ability to express should be accessible to anyone of any ability level and not suppressed by financial exclusion.🙏🦄🎩🧘♂️ 🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶
Yes, that's a real worry, we've definitely had it good til now. Frankly though, a lot of products are just not ready for top shelf prices. Far too many iOS apps are too buggy to justify anything near desktop prices. So it will be interesting to see how that plays put in the end
It's really nice actually, I'm enjoying a lot exploring the chord inversions and progressions. It's a very educational app, actually, and the arp patterns can sound great
Paul is either a robot or a genius, I think the latter... how he comes up with these ideas is awesome... this app is brilliant for non guitarists and guitarists a like... Brilliant video as always Gavin.... 👍🏻 👍🏻 🙏🙏
No disrespect intended, I understand why you may see this app as brilliant for non guitarists , but speaking from a guitarists viewpoint, it isn't brilliant in any way. I think it sounds absolutely awful, like an Organ grinder with a monkey.
Lol, you're entitled to your opinion and thanks for sharing, bit harsh though! I think the picking in particular sounds very decent. Some of the strumming patterns can sound a bit clunky though for sure. Talking the delay off, playing with the eq and the guitar sound font etc might help. For my personal uses its definitely something I'll use more to send midi to synths, mind you
@@rexterrocks humanise button and changing touch sensitivity makes it sound completely different agree with initial diagnosis but there is always a fix go deeoper
This really is a sweet app Paul does do amazing work I'm still getting over how good Nu-Rack is as it's now my go to effect as I think it just about covers everything including a 50%version of this .This is does what the GarageBand guitar strumming section was missing ,and controlling other apps is very cool,2020 has been a great year for iOS and knowing Paul he will be working on updating this app already to bring us even more loveliness
This app is great for non guitarist as well. I am learning a bit of music theory and get to practice along. I can hunt and peck my way to a beautiful rhythm! Thank you for review this, you have a STELLAR back catalog of tutorials!
I think Paul has come up with a very cool app for both guitarists + non guitarists.. Guitarists should be able to customize any of the patterns very easily + quickly to get what they’re looking for.. being able to simply tap on the fretboard to make a custom chord and/or voicing would really be cool.. not even sure if it’s possible BUT I like to dream..😁 Sometimes we don’t have ideal conditions to record our guitar rigs (acoustic or electric) and need to get our ideas down no matter what.. hey, we might not even have a guitar nearby.. so, this is a useful tool in that regard.. obviously it can go much beyond that once we connect it to non-guitar sounds.. RANDOMIZE Pattern is very cool.. great potential for good + not so good patterns.. may even come up with something new that you’d actually try to apply to the real instrument - a new (to you) fingerpicking pattern.. 👍 Midi control options.. 👍 Great real-world guitar voicings I believe Guitarists would love to have these options: -custom (user) patterns + variations -custom chord shapes (+ custom naming) -customized tunings -custom stringed instruments (anywhere from 2-8 strings) Thanks for covering this expanded version.. compared to the NuRack version that I have right now.. I think the extra features are worth it.. 👍
A few suggestions I made to Paul are coming soon, among them ability to save custom user patterns. But definitely send him an email, yoi have tons of good ideas as usual Roy, and he seems to be working hard on updates!
I already have the app, so I'll not participate in the giveaway but I'm happy to see another tutorial :) - 4 Pockets apps are kind of hard to get into for me but they are brilliant. It really pays to put some time into learning and the fact that it is one guy doing all the work is just crazy.
Every time I want an app you just do a tutorial on it and make be buy it!!! This time I’ll wait for the drawing, crossing my fingers to be an happy winner for once 😂
Had to get this as soon as it dropped haha. Love it so far. Can’t wait to experiment more and make more of my own patterns, maybe use other sound fonts too. Great app, great tutorial.
Great demo, Paul's apps are fantastic and he keeps updating them. This sounds amazing, emulating guitar strumming is genius and the gui is easy to understand, deep app without being confusing 👏🏾 Thankful for midi, no way I'm actually strumming on the ipad, visions of it flying off the table through a window 😂
This looks a great app. I own Nurack and it has the strummer module in it, but building your own effect with that in Nurack will nowhere get you as deep and extensive as this stand-alone app very cool! Definitely interested in getting my hands on this one. Cool vid Gavin!
This is pretty cool. Most of what I produce has an electronic feel. I feel like something like this could help me diversified my sound a bit. Nice fine sir.
Amazing tutorial. Great to hear your opinion specially the upsides and also some critics, I appreciate this a lot🙏🏽. What I was looking forward to hear some more examples of using the midi out function to play some other apps like you did with this beautiful, but expensive piano app🙈. Maybe this could be worth to show in a second video?☺️😎
For sure, I would also like to do that, but it's been a busy week and I just didn't have time to explore those aspects much yet. I definitely might consider a short second video on that
That's such a good touch. The idea to have it as something you could actually sequence in some chords and not all in the sequencer was a stroke of genius too
Strummer looks super handy!! Especially for someone like me who isn't very good on a guitar. What a great app! Midi Note recv would definitely be a great feature add on. Note Bends (probability & random) would also be great to have. Slides would be cool, but not sure if that's entirely possible, maybe with a glide/portamento control to move between notes.
Because it uses soundfonts it’s not possible to do slides (according to the developer). If he had used sound modeling instead to create the simulated guitars, it would’ve been possible.
Gavinski’s Tutorials the first thing I did when it was first brought out as part of NuRackFX was ask him to make it accordion friendly so I can use from the bass side of my accordion. And as per usual he listened and made the relevant changes. That’s why Paul is the best Dev on iOS. He makes what the end users want, and not what he wants the end users to have. And he updates his apps regularly. I’m hoping I can talk him into adding bass functionality to it soon. I currently use two instances running together in aum, triggered from the chord buttons on my accordion bass. One for guitar strumming / picking and one to produce sustained string chords violins etc, or pad sounds. In theory there is no limit to the number of different parts you can trigger other than the memory on your iPad. I will hopefully be making a video in the next few days showing how to control from a midi accordion. I have also used with my midi guitar although this is more fun than it is practical.
Gavinski’s Tutorials sure is I can transmit on four channels at once two on the keyboard and 1 for single bass notes and one for bass chords. With the right synths it’s awesome.
I already called Paul : the (app) Magician 🤓😏, again a great 4pockets-app, really like the sound and the possibilities , the sounds reminds me of the sound used in the app guitarcapo+ but MIDIstrummer sounds a little fuller and a little bit closer to real guitar playing, perhaps they can play together 🤓🤔 some day.... And thank’s again for such a great tutorial Gravin, you “ pamper” us 😁👍
I’ve been playing with the Nu Rack version. Thanks for expounding upon its capabilities. In the wrong hands (Mine?) this bugga can implement some esoteric wup in the realm of wtf. I always wanted Bagpipes that play like a guitar.
Yes - you can now since the latest update, and it was my suggestion to Paul that made that happen hahaha. At the time this video was made, that was not possible. But thanks for the comment anyway. I do sometimes miss things but this was not one 😅
With 4Pockets i have the same issue as with Cem‘s Plugins. They look good in sense of functionality but they quickly come to an end if you really want the details in functionality or specific use-cases. After a long time this one is a 4Pockets one i am actually interested in again and i will watch development. A „free“ version would shorten this process and i would dive right in. This is not meant as a bashing - it is only my feeling about those developers.
@@GavinskisTutorials Definitely better beta/testing, the small things like UNDO doing nothing, inconsistent behavior for the same functions spreaded over the plugins (deletion of single patterns, etc..) / Like i said - The small details.
Massive amount of features in this, it may stop me fiddling with the MIDI guitar > Xequence workflow I’ve got for doing this sort of thing, but perhaps not, as I do a lot of subtle things that way that I can’t see here... I can’t tell if it’s possible to do more than 16 changes in the song editor either, but I’m sure that’s a simple thing to fix... I like the MIDI control it has though, I think the Nurack version can only change chord...
The features list mentions something crazy like 200+ chord sequence possible in the song mode. It's probably worth pouring over that app store description carefully for you, as you seem to know exactly what you're looking for.
Thank you very much, you have helped me a lot. If only I had found your tutorial beforehand ... I could have saved a lot of money. The greatest difficulty that most iOS musicians have to deal with is creating interrelated pieces with a specific scheme. You always get stuck somewhere. I used to work a lot with IBassist and the Lumbeat drummers. I can remember that when the bass and drums interacted, a search was made for the quiet or loud sections in order to set the beats accordingly. That would of course be much more convenient if the app would recognize it and handle it accordingly. The criterion was the Velocity because you can then use it according to the set limits. Do you think itś worth to communicate further about this ? How can I send you some screenshots about this?
Thank you Rudolf - I don’t user those apps much and am also very busy to do too much individual assistance - i would strongly recommend you join the audiobus forum (google if necessary) and ask there - great friendly place to get info on iOS music making. See you on the forum maybe, i am very active there, cheers
No, I don't think so! It shows the names of chords but I didn't notice any ability to do custom chords, unless I missed it. For that function, the app to use would be Tonality. But let me know if I missed something here!
I purchased this app 2days ago. I’m pretty disappointed in the lack of strum in the strumming feature. The picking feature can be useful. It’s like a glorified arpeggiator at this point.
I'll admit to not being crazy about the strumming sounds myself, which is why I was mostly using picking here, good point. The strums tend to sound a bit harsh from what I've seen so far, but I maybe need more time to figure out a way to make them sound better, not sure. Actually that's probably where the eq would come in
Take out some of the mid range is probably a good strategy, same as you would if actually playing an amplified guitar - pretty sure that's probably the solution
Thanks! It does come with soundfonts. If yours are missing you should do a reinstall. Also always open a freshly downloaded app once in standalone before opening as an AU. I would recommend searching the Audiobus Forum for soundfont recommendations, you will find plenty of info there 👍
U can just open it in an audio slot or a midi slot. Only Audio slot will be able to produce sound inside Strummer. If u want to send midi from it to another app, just open it in a midi slot, and then select it as a midi source for the app you want to produce the audio
@@GavinskisTutorials I think I I tried that, but will try again because I probably did something wrong 🥴 Thanks 👍🏼 but yeah, a tutorial on AUM would be great.
I can't seem to get it to work properly in Cubase 2 is there a way where you can actually play midi kb or the pads. Or put in the midi notes yourself I have tried all this and none of it works. it seems to playback something completely different.?I just can't get it to play the Apr it's OK when I play it but as soon as I playback the midi it's all different is there any way you can do a video with cubasis 2 and how to actually use it Playing the Apr in as midi?
@@GavinskisTutorials i don't won't to ask him again about it. I sent him videos he said it does not work like that. I don't know how to use it. It will not record the midi in cubasis 2 I've tried every way I can but every time I play it back it doesn't sound the same.

That's a bloody impressive piece of software. Amazing consistent work by this developer.
The more I play with this the more I appreciate it, its actually very well thought through
Wow Paul does it again. The guy must never sleep. Thanks once more for another excellent tutorial.
I think he must have a room full of elves somewhere helping him pop these out, yup 😂
Wow! A few years ago I couldn't imagine that a so realistic sounding guitar strumming could be produced by software. Sounds very great.
Love this app. Is it just me or is it a mega fun winner of an app
It's really nice actually, I'm enjoying a lot exploring the chord inversions and progressions. It's a very educational app, actually, and the arp patterns can sound great

This app is bless for the non guitarist. Very Useful app. Thanks for the tutorial.
I loved that 4Pockets included soundfont instruments as a part of this app.
I had to download the chameleon sampler app to get all the sounds it only had one sound I could access from presets
I think Paul has come up with a very cool app for both guitarists + non guitarists..

Yeah haha. Longer than I would have liked, but that's just how long it took to go into all the features in sufficient detail
Gavinski’s Tutorials all good, yours never disappoint
This is awesome for us non-guitar types. Great tutorial!
Had to get this as soon as it dropped haha. Love it so far. Can’t wait to experiment more and make more of my own patterns, maybe use other sound fonts too. Great app, great tutorial.

I ´ m a guitarrist and this is a must have. Amazing and fun.
Great for guitarists for sure. Useful app on a lot of levels, definitely
An amazing, well thought out app that is useful for guitarists as well as non-guitarists. Great video as well.
Thanks Colin!
This looks a great app. I own Nurack and it has the strummer module in it, but building your own effect with that in Nurack will nowhere get you as deep and extensive as this stand-alone app very cool! Definitely interested in getting my hands on this one. Cool vid Gavin!
Cheers Ed, yeah this is pretty damn cool actually
This is pretty cool. Most of what I produce has an electronic feel. I feel like something like this could help me diversified my sound a bit. Nice fine sir.
U can definitely put this into some synths etc and get an electronic vibe if you want btw!
Thanks for the video. I think this app could be used to play not only guitar simulation sounds, to a great success! Paul did it again ;)
What a motivated developer! Looking forward to checking this one out. I would also like to see midi in arpeggiation
You won! Assuming you don't have it already. I'll PM you on AB
Looks fun! Hope to win it and have fun in a live set with it.
Good luck!
This is great app, I would love to have it. Thanks Gavin for in-depth tutorial.
Pleasure John!
Video is long but I think this app deserves. This app is amazing
I made it as short as I could, too many features 😂
Gavinski’s Tutorials Shortest video of midi strummer covering all the features🤣🤣
Amazing tutorial. Great to hear your opinion specially the upsides and also some critics, I appreciate this a lot🙏🏽.
What I was looking forward to hear some more examples of using the midi out function to play some other apps like you did with this beautiful, but expensive piano app🙈.

Very good. 4pockets apps reveal more the more you use them.
This is a very nice app, definitely
Great demo , love the app :)
This app is awesome and very useful. Thanks for the tutorial Gavin.
oh, for us guitar players (not professional ;) ) it would be something great. Can't wait!
Again - very well explained - and great examples given - I see a lot of possibilities to include that In my creations - tempted
Really like the 12-string button.
That's such a good touch. The idea to have it as something you could actually sequence in some chords and not all in the sequencer was a stroke of genius too

TeddyLeppard ahhh Good to Know! Thanks!!
This a very clever little app. I'd love to spend some time with this
Great tutorial thank you. Just bought this incredible app. Just to say that the relax mode adds some extra bass notes to the patterns.
So that's what it does! Thank you 😋
@@GavinskisTutorials no worries... Paul the Music Man is fast becoming a hero of mine.
Perfect manual of this app. Thanks Gavin
Pleasure!
Finally I can play the guitar. Nice.
I hope it Will get midi in...cause it's a bummer without it...
If I’m lucky enough to win I will use this app in one of my upcoming classes and share the results with you.
Sounds good! What do you teach Rich?
Brilliant app, Thanks for the overview of this app.
Now fully working from external midi, keyboards accordions guitars anything that can transmit midi.
Yes - I was instrumental in getting the dev to add these features so I’m very happy they are there now, great app, getting better all the time.
Gavinski’s Tutorials the first thing I did when it was first brought out as part of NuRackFX was ask him to make it accordion friendly so I can use from the bass side of my accordion. And as per usual he listened and made the relevant changes. That’s why Paul is the best Dev on iOS. He makes what the end users want, and not what he wants the end users to have. And he updates his apps regularly. I’m hoping I can talk him into adding bass functionality to it soon. I currently use two instances running together in aum, triggered from the chord buttons on my accordion bass. One for guitar strumming / picking and one to produce sustained string chords violins etc, or pad sounds. In theory there is no limit to the number of different parts you can trigger other than the memory on your iPad. I will hopefully be making a video in the next few days showing how to control from a midi accordion. I have also used with my midi guitar although this is more fun than it is practical.
Ha, sounds very cool. Midi accordion, interesting
Gavinski’s Tutorials sure is I can transmit on four channels at once two on the keyboard and 1 for single bass notes and one for bass chords. With the right synths it’s awesome.
Would love to try this out. Love all the guitar apps on iOS like Guitarism, etc so this could be a great addition.
Haven't tried guitarism. You might like the new version of Tonality that is coming out, pretty good for guitarists
I already called Paul : the (app) Magician 🤓😏, again a great 4pockets-app, really like the sound and the possibilities , the sounds reminds me of the sound used in the app guitarcapo+ but MIDIstrummer sounds a little fuller and a little bit closer to real guitar playing, perhaps they can play together 🤓🤔 some day....

What an awesome app! Thanks for your great video. 👍🏻
Glad u found it useful Cecile, thanks a lot!
Still need to learn how to incorporate the patterns in the arrangement in the DAW.
Great app with an essence of 4pockets own well known UI.
custom chords is a great new feature....
I've already got this one a brilliant app but good luck everyone. 👍👍🙏🙏
I’ve been playing with the Nu Rack version. Thanks for expounding upon its capabilities. In the wrong hands (Mine?) this bugga can implement some esoteric wup in the realm of wtf. I always wanted Bagpipes that play like a guitar.
Hh, I put it through apesoft accordion earlier, that worked so bagpipes should be grand too
Seems to be a really good fingerpicking app!
You can save and load pattern presets via the Burger menu on top left of pattern editor :)
Yes - you can now since the latest update, and it was my suggestion to Paul that made that happen hahaha. At the time this video was made, that was not possible. But thanks for the comment anyway. I do sometimes miss things but this was not one 😅
Love 4pockets . Another top app
This app is so interesting to me. I haven’t picked it up yet but resistance is futile. Maybe RNG will pick me.
@Gavinski if you tap any of the screws in all four corners it will take you up 1 page or down 1 page.
Ah, nice tip! Thanks Chris
Nice App, nice review. Thanks a lot.
Pleasure Nik!
Thanks Gavin for another great video. Keen to win a copy if possible :)
A lot of midi generating don’t have sound player but I liked it does have a sound font player.
Yeah, that's useful and some of the sounds are really pretty good
Gavinski’s Tutorials Yes, they sounds like authentic real instruments.

Gavinski’s Tutorials !!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!
Looks Like a sick app
Amazing midi strummer app.
With 4Pockets i have the same issue as with Cem‘s Plugins. They look good in sense of functionality but they quickly come to an end if you really want the details in functionality or specific use-cases. After a long time this one is a 4Pockets one i am actually interested in again and i will watch development. A „free“ version would shorten this process and i would dive right in. This is not meant as a bashing - it is only my feeling about those developers.
What are u thinking is missing from Cem's at present? Definitely though, it's important that devs pay attention to the details and listen to feedback.
@@GavinskisTutorials Definitely better beta/testing, the small things like UNDO doing nothing, inconsistent behavior for the same functions spreaded over the plugins (deletion of single patterns, etc..) / Like i said - The small details.
Yes, true. Good beta testing is a must, not all devs are equally thorough in this
@@GavinskisTutorials Nonetheless it does not make your Video(s) less helpful/enjoyable 👍🏻🤘🏻
Thanks!
Thanks a lot Brett!
Fantastic tutorial as always.
Thanks Cian!

Yup, sorted!
4 pockets and gavinski rules!
Haha, thanks Feliks
Pretty cool 😎
so good app and tutorial!
Thnx Andris!
Massive amount of features in this, it may stop me fiddling with the MIDI guitar > Xequence workflow I’ve got for doing this sort of thing, but perhaps not, as I do a lot of subtle things that way that I can’t see here... I can’t tell if it’s possible to do more than 16 changes in the song editor either, but I’m sure that’s a simple thing to fix... I like the MIDI control it has though, I think the Nurack version can only change chord...
The features list mentions something crazy like 200+ chord sequence possible in the song mode. It's probably worth pouring over that app store description carefully for you, as you seem to know exactly what you're looking for.
So it does, 255, built in sampler too, he does stack the features in for sure!
He does, lol
Very Nice!
This is very deep midi strumming app.
Another interesting app! Strum away!
Very well done this tutorial👍🏼. I just missed the function in the song mode, how many bars a pattern should run. Or did I missed something?
up to you - you adjust the number of beats of any section in the song using the ‘length’ button - it’s all in the manual 😁
Thank you very much, you have helped me a lot. If only I had found your tutorial beforehand ... I could have saved a lot of money.
The greatest difficulty that most iOS musicians have to deal with is creating interrelated pieces with a specific scheme. You always get stuck somewhere. I used to work a lot with IBassist and the Lumbeat drummers. I can remember that when the bass and drums interacted, a search was made for the quiet or loud sections in order to set the beats accordingly. That would of course be much more convenient if the app would recognize it and handle it accordingly. The criterion was the Velocity because you can then use it according to the set limits. Do you think itś worth to communicate further about this ? How can I send you some screenshots about this?
Thank you Rudolf - I don’t user those apps much and am also very busy to do too much individual assistance - i would strongly recommend you join the audiobus forum (google if necessary) and ask there - great friendly place to get info on iOS music making. See you on the forum maybe, i am very active there, cheers
@@GavinskisTutorials ok 👌🏼
B E A U T I F U L, Than you for sharing...🙏🎸
My pleasure Sabine!
So this thing will also tell me what the hell the weird chord i just played on my real guitar is? DOUBLE BONUS.
No, I don't think so! It shows the names of chords but I didn't notice any ability to do custom chords, unless I missed it. For that function, the app to use would be Tonality. But let me know if I missed something here!
Hot Pockets 🔥👍
I recently acquired ChordBud which piqued my interest in apps such as this one.
nice!
I purchased this app 2days ago. I’m pretty disappointed in the lack of strum in the strumming feature. The picking feature can be useful. It’s like a glorified arpeggiator at this point.
I'll admit to not being crazy about the strumming sounds myself, which is why I was mostly using picking here, good point. The strums tend to sound a bit harsh from what I've seen so far, but I maybe need more time to figure out a way to make them sound better, not sure. Actually that's probably where the eq would come in
Take out some of the mid range is probably a good strategy, same as you would if actually playing an amplified guitar - pretty sure that's probably the solution
See this, for example www.behindthemixer.com/eq-acoustic-guitar/
Gavinski’s Tutorials Cool. Thanks
Gavin, where is the pinned comment? have the winners been notified? Thanks
🙏🙏🙏
Ah, they have. I just realised I forgot to Re-pin the comment after editing. I hate the way it gets unpinned when you edit it.
@@GavinskisTutorials Damn, I didn't win..... I'm in two minds, Nu rack or Strummer.... 👍🏻
Don't have NuRack but both are well loved, couldn't go wrong with either I think
nice
Nice one, thx
Cheers! Welcome to the channel
Nice one 👍👍
Really interesting app !
Yeah! And welcome to the channel Cosimo 🎉
So why does it have midi in then? Nevermind I see it can select pads, and settings
great tutorial!! thaks ... I don't have soundfonts in my app, where can i buy or download?
Thanks! It does come with soundfonts. If yours are missing you should do a reinstall. Also always open a freshly downloaded app once in standalone before opening as an AU. I would recommend searching the Audiobus Forum for soundfont recommendations, you will find plenty of info there 👍
@@GavinskisTutorials thank you!!!!!!
Happy to help!
Can someone direct me to instructions as to how I’d set this up in AUM please. Thanks in advance.
U can just open it in an audio slot or a midi slot. Only Audio slot will be able to produce sound inside Strummer. If u want to send midi from it to another app, just open it in a midi slot, and then select it as a midi source for the app you want to produce the audio
I will make a video on aum basics at some point by the way 😉
@@GavinskisTutorials great, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for that. I’m a proper noob and your slow and detailed approach really helps 👍🏼
@@GavinskisTutorials I think I I tried that, but will try again because I probably did something wrong 🥴 Thanks 👍🏼 but yeah, a tutorial on AUM would be great.
Send a video of your setup to my email and I'll try to tell you if you're doing something wrong (953211370 (at) qq.com)
Does it have midi output for all this arps and strummings?
Yup!
4 pockets apps has an strange interface ))
I do prefer the functionality to the design, I must admit
When's the draw?
Happened already. I usually declare the winners 2 days after release and write the winners names in the pinned comment
I can't seem to get it to work properly in Cubase 2 is there a way where you can actually play midi kb or the pads. Or put in the midi notes yourself I have tried all this and none of it works. it seems to playback something completely different.?I just can't get it to play the Apr it's OK when I play it but as soon as I playback the midi it's all different
is there any way you can do a video with cubasis 2 and how to actually use it
Playing the Apr in as midi?
Not sure Josh, better send an email to the dev. Paul (at) kal-group.com
@@GavinskisTutorials I did he was just getting annoyed with me.
Ah OK, pity, huh. I don't use cubasis at the moment, ask on the AB Forum!
@@GavinskisTutorials i don't won't to ask him again about it. I sent him videos he said it does not work like that. I don't know how to use it. It will not record the midi in cubasis 2 I've tried every way I can but every time I play it back it doesn't sound the same.
Yes, so don't ask him, just join the forum at www.audiob.us and make a thread asking other users for help there 👍
