Rendering audio from drum pads to separate audio tracks
I'm trying to output audio from drum pads within a single drum sampler into separate audio tracks. Obviously I can mute/solo pads and export tracks one at a time. But I'd like to render the audio from drum pads into separate audio tracks in one step. I created FX busses and routed pads to them. But when I exported the audio, separate audio tracks were not created for the FX busses.
Any other ways this might be accomplished.
Excellent app by the way!

Right now when i export, it comes out altogether in one track
Anybody have any solutions/easier workarounds? Do I just have to get used to creating new tracks when composing beats?
Thanks in advance!
Copy paste the sequence to as many new tracks (press plus tab for the same drum machine) as you need, go into each copy, select the notes on the left (on piano roll which selects all same notes in sequence) and delete what you don't want.
Until BM2 gets a split by note function, that's how it is. No reason it should take that long though.
@dubhaus - responded to you on auria forums as well but agreed, should take only 5-10 min but at 2 in the morning working on an iphone, brain isnt as efficient.
@thesavage - oldman on the audiobus forum gave this solution. Is this what you're recommending?
Hi. You can export separate bm2 drum tracks like you want to without all that hassle. All you gotta do is when your creating a drum track you select the drum machine. Switch to sequencer view and in the top left-ish corner there is a + sign. Press this button and you will have a choice of adding a new track for any instruments that have already been chosen. So..... If you select the drum machine it will add a new track under that which will route to the drum machine and it will have all the pad names down the side in the piano roll. You can do as many of these as you like I think. At least 16 anyway for all the pads. Now all you gotta do is say put your kicks in one track, snare in another, hats in another. When you export you will get separate tracks. Hope this helps

Yes!
No not that way. Which i feel you would be nice....but the way i do it isn't really that hard.
when your done jamming, finished go to the sequencer. Then you go make as many tracks you need. Name the tracks KICKS, HATS, SAMPLE etc... copy&paste your jam out session to each track. delete the notes/sound on the track and keep the right ones associated with the name you gave the track.
basically what @dubhausdisco said.
Good luck.
@dubhaus - yeah I agree with your last post. Just thought there was some obvious solution I wasn't aware of. Big thing I realized was to just use my ipad instead of iPhone for this process as editing midi notes on a tiny iPhone screen is pain in a$$.
@alien_brain - I'm trying not to use audiobus as much as possible. So if I can export out bm2 as wav files later on, maybe even thru iFunbox, I'm ok with that added step later on after I've finished composing all the beats then deleting them later on.
I found out on another forum that Nanostudio actually does have ability to do what. I want without all this workaround and seriously looked at switching my entire workflow (drum beat wise) to nanostudio just for this reason but one nice feature that's convenient about bm2 is the multiple banks. Not sure if nanostudio has this but I couldn't seem to figure it out. I've got probably banks A,B, and C full of kicks, banks D,E and F full of snares and the remainder for various samples, hi-hats, etc. So when I'm working on an idea, it's very convenient to switch to the different banks and audition different samples to see which ones work or don't work with overall idea.
Aside from this I really like BM2's workflow and like the midi editor much better than genome and steppolyarp
