Hi there.
First of all, I really like BM3. I think it's the best solution in mobile iOS world. It is really friendly to musicians who are playing music and not are into mixing, mastering deals.
So I have a band. It's a mixture of industrial/synthwave/rock. We are playing without a drummer and I started to use BM3 as a groovebox and backing track player. Most of the time I take audio from 3,5 out from my iPad to send it to FOH. So all of my songs are sent to sound enginner. But I would like to have parallel iPhone with some things like AUM, Audiobus. I use Ableton link to sync that stuff and hardware synths, but now I want more.
I would like to use iPhone as a playback machine with FX, drones, soundscapes and use my iPad as a main device. Because of lack of multiout device (only ROLAND DUO CAPTURE) I can't use separate outputs to send them to mixer.
I saw that Ableton link has a feature to send/recieve Start Stop commands. And BM3 cannot do this.
So, is there a way to link BM3 on iPad to iPhone with AUM to sync them with "start/stop"?

Hi,

If I run any drum app with Ableton link enabled they stay locked solid indefinitely. When I start Beatmaker (with Ableton link) it drifts out of time over several bars. The tempo also sometimes reads 0.02 less than the real tempo.

Anyone else having this problem?

The issue is in the bug list as unconfirmed but I can't use Breatmaker yet, despite having it for 4 months! Potentially (for me anyway), every loop is slightly out of time.

NB Same problem if the rhythm app (eg iMaschine) is loaded within Beatmaker.

I'd love if a few ppl would try this and report the findings - leave it running for 3 minutes.

iPad Pro 10.5' - iOS 11.2.6
