Questions about backing up Beatmaker 3 to Google Drive

Hi all,

First post here so apologies if this has been answered but couldn’t find what i was looking for...

I’m working on an ipad with BM3.
I want to be able to save my work including all samples to my google drive.
Essentially this is to create an emergency backup in case my ipad was lost or stolen.
Id like to be able to log in to my google drive on a new ipad and restore all my BM3 projects, arrangements and samples.

If I go to save, and copy samples, will the zip file thats created give me everything i need to restore in case of emergency?
Also do i also need to save banks separately and /or patterns within banks? I dont really understand this part.
When i try and restore, i select the zip file in my google drive and select ‘copy to beatmaker’ it says “unzipped content available in the imports directory” - where is this directory?

Thanks in advance, and happy music making to you all.

🙂

Does anyone know how to use/assign the roll feature (1/16,1/32) with the akai mpk mini thumbstick?

I just bought the Akai MPK mini 2 and it has a thumb stick that many people use to create the roll feature usually hihats sounds use this at 1/16 and/or 1/32. I looked and I don’t see where to assign the stick to do the “roll”. The stick by default controls the wheels section - Mod / Pitch
Can this be done with any midi keyboard? I send back my Nektar Impact so I can’t test it on another keyboard.

Sends you straight to the point of the video to show you what I mean.
