Trying to set up BeatMaker 3 in Cubasis as a midi instrument. A bit frustrating trying to play Rozeta AU midi effects as only one pad is working at a time. Generally finding BeatMaker difficult to integrate!
Anyone any tips? Thanks
What exactly are you trying to do ?
Beatmaker is not a MIDI AU.
Are you trying to trigger Beatmakers sampler from Cubasis ?
Where is Rozeta being used, in Cubasis or in Beatmaker ?
Yes you are right sorry maybe I am not understanding how BeatMaker works with midi. Normally if I load an inter app instrument into Cubasis I can play it on the Cubasis keyboard and the midi data is recorded. But not BeatMaker. So I suppose I can only record audio? I thought I could play banks and record midi data. On the drop down menu in bank A etc it has midi settings that include cubasis as an option which confused me. Also I can’t work out how to record anything from BeatMaker into Cubasis even audio. So help with settings I guess would be useful.
Well for starters Cubasis does not support the full range of MIDI keys, so that may be what is confusing you, heres a video to look at, might get you started
Are you trying to send (Rozeta) MIDI out from BM3 into Cubasis? In that case: you can now also use Rozeta plugins directly inside Cubasis (since yesterday's update), which saves you some steps.
Looks like Steinberg did a pretty solid job implementing AU midi - however, they work on the principle of 1 midi plugin per channel, which means you can't (a) trigger multiple channels/sounds/banks from the same single plugin, or (b) daisy chain multiple AU midi plugins like you can with the virtual midi wiring options in BM3.
I love wiring my chord progressions in Rozeta Cells to trigger an Arpeggio or Collider, which then feeds into my shiny new AUv3 Minimoog Model D ...can't do that in Cubasis!
Makes me feel cooler than when I was rocking the first wave of Nike Air Hurache in 1993 (Age 12)
Yes i was pondering the ridiculous possibilities we will have when we have pad to pad audio routing too, fully modular sampler, fully modular synth, fully modular MIDI plugin sequencing.
Heh! I had the same Huaraches back in the day (although mine were white/varsity red/yellow iirc).
And I agree... the modular MIDI wiring of BM3 and AUM opens up a lot more rich, creative possibilities. There is something to be set for the straightforward simplicity of Cubasis' method though. Takes virtually no explanations and only 2 or 3 taps to set it up. I think it fits with their design rationale in general.
Each DAW environment on iOS is carving out their own niche, which is good. Something for everyone!
The thing I am most pleased about is that support for AU midi in Cubasis will prompt a fresh wave of Rozeta purchases... enabling you to continue supporting the iOS music scene (our love is in abundance, but that doesn't pay bills)
This is indeed a very exciting time in mobile music production, similar to the VST boom in the 90s, and as the Hurache ad above states "the future is here"
Thanks so much for the video. After watching it many times and trying I did manage to get some sounds but it wasn’t seamless!! When I linked it together the sounds in cubasis were a bit different to the sounds in the bank in BeatMaker 3 and then they got stuck and I had to turn off the iPad to stop the music! Will keep trying ....

Sorry but your post just isnt very clear at all.

@brambos how is Cubasis fairing in the timing list ?
I haven't had chance to try the update yet.
Really tight, no complaints.
Nice

Yeah its good they used Rozeta in their demo video !!
