Hi, it's available now. you should be able to find it here: apps.apple.com/us/app/prism-midi-sequencer/id6502302630 Let me know if you can't and where you're at. There might be some location based jazz going on

I'm upgrading from my mini to the X today and I'm stoked. That said, I didn't mean to leave out old hardware. We love old hardware. If someone wants to test with their MK2 I'm down to see if it can be done.

@@A_Mortal_MagePlease do try to expand supported hardware. MK2 and MK2mini support would be great (and probably drive sales). There used to be a developer pdf on Novations website somewhere. Thanks

There IS an arp built in to prism. There’s a video showing how to use it on this very channel

I’m assuming it’ll also work for launchkey also?

@@WyattLite-n-inn there are only selectable options for Launchpad Mini mk3, Launchpad X, and Launchpad Pro ml3 It uses Programming Mode to put all on-screen items down on the launchpad The launch key doesn't have the same Programmers Mode that are on the launchpads I can't confirm, but woulf theorize that no, it will not work on any controllers other than the three available, listed by name, in the app

@@PapaBPoppin ok , thanks Papa!

@@WyattLite-n-inn let me clarify... You may be able to use the launchkey to input notes into the sequencer (as a general midi keyboard, again, haven't tested) but the extra, connective, Built-In stuff is relagated to the listed hardware

Hi, this was only available for beta users... until this morning! Give Prism an update and you can select a launchpad using the 'launchpad' keypad button in [DEVICE SETTINGS]

@@A_Mortal_Mage thanks!

@@agustinbernal2760 Here are some getting started instructions: sites.google.com/view/prism-midi-sequencer/launchpad-prism

@@A_Mortal_Mage thanks again!

Not a push, they have to be hooked up with ableton to work. I can't speak specifically to the jam. My guess is you could map the MIDI but I don't think the controller responds to light control signals. Also, given the Maschine controllers don't work on iPad I'd be surprised if the jam did.

Wonderful. That's truly the goal of iOS music. Freedom to create wherever

@@A_Mortal_Mage thank u thank u!

request: adding support for a ableton PUSH 1 (being that theyre more affordable now)🙏. planned obsolescence of gear (in all departments) needs a stern talking to

@@opinionated_Vegatable Oh man i wish! I have a push 2 that I'm dying to use as a controller with no luck. Without getting all raspberry pi hacky you can't use push without ableton. But, I'm going to deconstruct all the pieces that make the launchpad mapping work and offer them up as general mapping settings. It'll take a sec though

@@A_Mortal_Mage soo cool to talk to u! & appreciated anything u can do 🫡

It'll be worth it! Even now it is. But when you're cruising with midi CC to and can create an entire song without even touching the ipad (aka reserving the entire screen for sound crafting)... I bet your head will be boppin

Played with this combo a couple times and I’m digging it man! I cannot say enough good things about this app you’re creating .

@@mikejohnaudio You already got it? Hope you're digging it as much as I am

@@A_Mortal_Mage yeah man .. found a used one for a good price .. picked it up Monday . It really does take Prism to another level man ..

Fantastic to hear! Let me know what kind of music you're making and I'll shoot you a feature I think you'll like

I make all sorts of electronic music and also rock music. I like making darker electronic music in the vein of Gary Numan, Nine Inch and nails and Depeche Mode. Also a big fan of El-P

@@justinfoot52 I was listining to depeche mode last night while coding. I had never listened to their live stuff and it blew my mind, way more rock influence than I knew they could get. So based on that here's a few recs: I love those ballad moments in rock. To get those Level 1: Use Tracks->Tone Blocks to develop and experiment with harmonies Level 2: Use Track 1 to lay down a simply rocky chord progression. Don't worry about rhythm. Track 2, use MELT with track 1 as source. lay down a sequence to add the rhythm of the chordal harmonics. Then make sure the keypad is set to TONE MELT KEYPAD and use the specific note filter to take and transpose individual notes from the chords over the top to create the melodic pops that run through these ballads. For Drums: Level 1: Gotta get big snares - use drum track layers. Press the link button to the right side of the keypad and select other pads to layer them. Level 2: Make it technoey - unlink your drums in SEQ SETUP to add polyrhythms Level 3: Add variety and sporadic larger strikes with the 'EVERY' Param. But, take it further but long pressing the 'EVERY PARAM' to customize exactly when it plays over the course of 16 loops (i.e play on loop 2,3,6,7 of every 8. Hope some of these prove fun

@@A_Mortal_Mage Thanks for the tips! And yes, Depeche Mode is almost a different band live. Been a fan since the mid 80’s and still going strong. Can’t wait to incorporate the tips you provided. Thanks again!

Haha yes you did! Wasn't even started then but i move fast. This is still all based on push button midi control though. CC and param based midi control comes later. Hell yeah! shoot me an email at elementalmusictech@gmail.com with your beta testing email and I'll add you. Would be great to confirm that the pro is working

yessir, didn't capture the vibe and was a bit too opaque to keep. I'm putting it in the back pocket for later

Right on! Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for sharing the love

Do you mean controlling Prism with external MIDI or controlling an instrument with MIDI CC from Prism? Well, i guess either way not for the initial release. But both of these are on top of the coming soon list.

Hey, you're correct in theory but I'm curious what functions you're looking to play that are currently there while also playing notes? If you do have some specifics for today where you're like I want to do "X and Y" at the same time, let me know, and I can try to work it out. Otherwise, I ask because I've tried to separate the sequencer, which includes play and record, from the idea of live performance (some sort of remixing or fx application that influences what you play and the playback of the recording, similar to the teenage engineering step sequencers). This first release is all about making the best possible step sequencer (limited to midi notes). Next, I'll start adding layers. There will be a CC layer, a song layer, a MIDI Control layer, a step FX layer, and a performance layer. All the fun live performance stuff will come then, and it's already being drafted to work within the limitations of the current layout... fingers crossed :)

Hell yeah to MIDI CC!! I've got majoooor plans here. I'd love to hear more about the next/prev buttons idea? Which paramaters / where in the interface are you feeling the thirst for them? It'll help me with future design

Hey, giving a heads up that I've been thinking of the next/prev. I'm still working on a design idea for previous but if you tap a paramater it will increment forward now for more precise control. Hope it helps.

That'd be a horribly frustrating way to lose your work. Consider it done!

Find this added in the latest update :)

I like it! I just added some basic arp step randomization in the beta environment. It'll be included in the next update. Also as a side note, there will eventually be a dedicated "major feature" release that integrates randomization as a deeper more intrinsic concept in the workflow. For now though I've included pockets or randomization as areas to test and expand the implementation. All that's to say, as you play with the random factors and if you have ideas shoot them my way, there's a lot of room for growth here.

Arp Step Randomizer is added in the latest update. See Arp->'keypad options' (bottom circle cyclone button) -> keypad with the dice

It's on the board but a bit far down in terms of priority

@@A_Mortal_Mage not a large concern, but just a nice to have! congrats on your launch!

Something may be up with the koala configs that isn't aligning with the default profile. It has been tested extensively with Koala though and is working on my end. If you send me a video or give a description of what you're looking to do I'm sure we can get it working.

Thank you! And hell yeah! Prism still has sooo much room to grow (not to say it isn't already packed with capabilities). Let me know if you have ideas. I'm always looking for more inspo

@@A_Mortal_Mage first thing out the gate is the need for an Undo Button. People new to this idea of workflow will want to undo to fix mistakes they have no clue on.

@@bjamminsincebirth3494 Hey, you have a access to some pseudo undo functionality on this. You can either use the snapshot feature to save and reload a place (the camera and the picture icon) or you can use the checkpoint autosave. If you look at the picture icon at the top you'll see it change colors when you switch states or tracks, that is an autosave. Long press the picture (load snapshot) button to go back to the checkpoint save. Think of it like in a video game when you get a savepoint at the entrance to a cave or level. Hope that makes sense

Oh Yeah, and it's setup to hold a lot more. Hopefully you've found some of the later beta updates to surface the functionality in a more intuitive way. Let me know if you have any questions as you learn.

Hey, I release it last night if you want to check it out - apps.apple.com/gb/app/prism-midi-sequencer/id6502302630

The top one with the grey lines nudges the timing of the trig forward and back, offsetting it from the quantized grid. The slider below it adjusts the velocity and length of the trig.

@@A_Mortal_Mage ahhh great thanks

You've got a keen eye. It was difficult to remember talking and not just play half the time

Hey, I'm cleaning up the Beta environment now in preparation for launch. Would you be interested in post-release beta testing new features?

@@A_Mortal_Mage sure! i highly suggest posting on the audiobus forums as well :)

@@paradockz One step ahead of you ;) Give it a checkout for a post with all the apps deets forum.audiob.us/discussion/59199/prism-midi-sequencer-coming-soon#latest

That and soo much more! Once a relation has been established between two tracks (i.e, track Y will watch the chords from track x) you have all kinds of opportunities to add flare and melodic distinctions, while resting easy knowing whatever you do setup will adjust accordingly whenever the host tracks chords change.

@@A_Mortal_Mage That is awesome!!! Will there be a beta phase via TestFlight? Thank you very much.

@@Francesco-L it’s happening right now! Send me an email at elementalmusictech@gmail.com with your TestFlight email and I can add you

@@A_Mortal_Mage I have sent them an email with my TestFlight email.

Thanks for the love! I completely agree about groove and offsetting. I finished fortifying the time architecture this weekend to be ready for offset, groove, swing, etc... A whole "Groove" update will be one of the first major pushes after launch. It'll be fun!

Thank you! No release date yet. Grinding away at the Beta now. But soon!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for all the continued love
