what is the point of this thread my kid will be making beats before beatmaker 3 comes out lol. JK It is the single best beat making app. Made me go Completely portable. i have both ipad versions love it. I have youtube channel all about mobile music apps. I will be doing a new updated Beatmaker 2 tips and tricks vid.
Hopefully external storage will be included in bm3! Seems as though the Intua team finds it something worth checking into! I'm all fired up to get bm3! The wait is rough hahahaha
I have the same question, do we have to wait longer if we have more ideas? Then here my last one, is it possible to get drum repeat with two fingers on a pad? If I use 1 finger I get normal behave and if I use two fingers it repeats (and a option to put that off) ;-). Maybe in the settings page.
And I think "Ableton link" should be a great idea.
I have scoured this whole thread and created a Feature Request List for bm3 that is current. (I hope this helps everyone to see the entirety of the list easier) SYSTEM - Exact data entry (double tap text) - Quarter tone tuning - Install no presets if preferred - Desktop Version or Audio Unit - Computer interface editor - BM3 reports as active to kill ipad sleep - Slave to beat Clock that is solid - Undo disappears after a couple of midi takes
MIDI - Midi Learn - Be able to slave other apps to BM3 tightly - Better external Midi/Internal Midi control - Midi control of mute/solo - Activity monitor for midi - Midi out set to 0 default on new instruments
AUDIO TRACK - Drag samples straight to timeline via audiotrack - Erase a record take is destructive and erases a record take - Route to empty audio track(s) to record live session - Fade Handles (nondestructive) on audio tracks - Clone Audio tracks - Quicker Audiotracks - Loop record in sequencer (takes)

Buried in one of Intua Facebook threads I saw someone asking about importing BM2 project files into BM3. I have hundreds of BM2 files with automation that I don't want to have to start from scratch on in BM3. Do I understand correctly you need people to let you know BM2 to BM3 file import is extremely important?

Then here my last one, is it possible to get drum repeat with two fingers on a pad?
If I use 1 finger I get normal behave and if I use two fingers it repeats (and a option to put that off) ;-). Maybe in the settings page.

Btw I like beatmaker2, used it a lot.
Thanks in advance.
