Menu description: PRESET: Preset loading/saving, and global polyphony SAMPLE: Loading, editing, recording, clearing samples, automatic fade in/outs MIX: Volume, pan, mute, lter and audio routing TUNE: Semitones, ne-tune, reverse, auto-scaling TRIGGER: Pads triggering mode and polyphony, ADSR, exclusive-groups 16-MODE: Mute / reverse modes, velocity / tune spread

B. BANK SWITCHING
The drum sampler has 128 pads but only 16 can be displayed at a time. That means there is one bank visible at a time. You can switch between the 8 banks in the bank menu: Press the bank button (2 as shown on the previous gure) to bring the bank menu:

BANK SWITCH: Allows you to choose the bank. LOAD BANK: Loads a preset to the bank you are currently working with. The previous banks wont be affected, and you can load multiple presets on the same drum machine. CLEAR BANK: Will reset all 16 pads of the currently selected bank. Note that the bank button shows the bank you are currently working with. The numbers on each pad are also a quick way to see which bank you are in.

C. MULTI-SELECTION
In order to edit multiple pad parameters at once, the drum sampler comes with a handy pad selection tool. Multi-selection only applies in the following menus: SAMPLE, MIX, TUNE and TRIGGER. By default, when entering a function menu, the multi-selection function is not turned on, so that only the last pad pressed is selected. To switch to multi-selection mode, press the [MULTI] button on the top of the screen. Each pad you press will be added to the selection, or removed if it was already selected. Note that tapping the pads does not produce a sound when in multi-selection mode. The following screenshot shows multiple pads selected:

From now on, when modifying a setting, the change will be applied to all selected pads. In the above example, if MUTE is pressed, pads 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 will all be muted. To exit the multi-selection mode, just press the [MULTI] button again. Note that that selection is saved for all the menus which support it, but it is reset each time you switch banks.

D.3. MIX
Set the volume, pan, mute, lter and output bus of trigger pads.
Page 1 Page 2 Page 3

Page 1: Mix
VOLUME: Controls volume of selected pad(s) from - to +6dB. PAN: Controls panning (stereo image) of selected pad(s). MUTE: Turns mute for selected pads on and off. Pad will continue playing but will not output to the instrument or FX bus.

Page 2: Filter
ENABLE/DISABLE FILTER: Each pad has its own Low Pass / High Pass resonant lter. Use this button to quickly enable or disable the lter. You can use this feature on multiple pads at once using the multi-selection. CUTOFF: Adjusts the cutoff frequency for selected lter(s). RESONANCE: Sets the cutoff for the amount of resonance for selected lter(s). LP/HP toggles: Switch between Low Pass (LP) (lower frequencies will pass through) or High Pass (HP) (higher frequencies will pass through) modes for selected lter(s).

Page 3: Audio routing

You can route the sound from selected pads to either the instrument output (MAIN), or one of the FX tracks you created. This is very useful if you want to use specic effects on one or more pads (for more information see the Audio Effects chapter of this manual).

Page 2: Auto-scale
Use the Auto-scale feature to adjust the sample length on a bar subdivision (1/16th to ), or from 1 to 32 bars. You can easily beat-match a loop to a particular tempo using this feature. Note that pitch will be affected. In order to preserve pitch, use the time-stretch feature in the Sample Lab (for more information see the Sample Lab chapter of this manual).

Revision 2.2

D.5. TRIGGER
Page 1 Page 2 Page 3

Page 1: Trigger style

ONE-SHOT / HOLD / HOLD&LOOP: Allows you to set how the pad reacts when it is pressed: TRIGGER MODE ONE-SHOT HOLD PAD BEHAVIOR When the pad is pressed, the sample will play until the end As long as the pad is held, the sample will play back, but will stop playing as soon as it is released. Same as HOLD, but loops between the sample loop points. You can set them using the Sample Lab (see the Sample menu). By default, the entire sample will loop.

HOLD & LOOP

Note that HOLD and HOLD & LOOP modes should be used with an ADSR envelope, to avoid abrupt release, audio clicks, etc. Pad polyphony: By default, pads are monophonic, meaning that only one voice is used per pad. For example, if you re-trigger a loop, current pad playback will stop, and restart. The monophonic mode should be all you need in most cases, but to achieve more realistic drum emulation, especially for cymbals and snare rolls, you can set it to a specic value, up to 32 voices. Note that the global instrument polyphony may need to be changed as well (See the Preset menu).

Page 2: ADSR
ENABLE/DISABLE ADSR: Use the toggle button to add or delete an ADSR volume envelope on selected pads. A volume envelope allows you to control the volume of the sample over time, using four simple controls:

Revision 2.2

Page 17

BeatMaker 2 User Manual

Attack time (seconds): brings the volume from 0 to its maximum. Decay time (seconds): brings the volume from its maximum to the sustain level. Sustain level (%): level of sound is steady while the pad is held, after the attack and decay have passed. Release time (seconds): brings the volume from sustain level back to 0, starting when the pad is released As previously mentioned, you should add a volume envelope for pads using the HOLD and HOLD & LOOP trigger modes. In order to switch between A, D, S and R regions, use the left/right arrows. The knob will turn to reect the current setting.

Page 3: X-Groups
Set an exclusive group on selected pads. You can use up to 128 different X-Groups (also called choke group). Only one of the pads within the group can play at once, playing a pad stops the pad that was playing before. This is very useful for creating realistic sounding hi-hats, or to only have one slice playing at a time when using a chopped loop.

D.6. 16-MODE
Allows you to switch between various performance modes and copy/paste pads.
Page 1 Page 2

Revision 2.2

BeatMaker 2 User Manual

Page 1: Live modes

NORMAL: The default mode, which trigger pads MUTE: Quickly mute/un-mute pads, ideal for live mashups REVERSE: Quickly reverse playback of pads VELOCITY: Spread velocity of last selected pad. Each group of 16 pads will have one velocity, ranging from 7 to 127. This way you can easily record snare rolls and other velocity-related patterns. TUNE: Same as velocity, but for semitone control. Range from -8 to +7 semitones. Example for MUTE and REVERSE modes:

Note: pads are not triggered when using MUTE and REVERSE modes.

Page 2: Pad copy and paste

This function allows you to duplicate all the parameters from one pad to another. COPY: Copies the parameters of the selected pad to BeatMakers clipboard. PASTE: Assigns to the selected pad the parameters of the pad that has been previously copied.

C.4. MAPPING EDITOR

The sampler can control a different set of playing samples over the keyboard range (up to 128 notes). With the Mapping Editor, you can easily create your own sample-based instruments. The process for creating a new instrument is as follow: - Create a new empty zone - Select the key range you want your sample to play on (low key and high key) - Select the key starting from which the chromatic pitch spread of the sample will be applied to keys in the selected range (base key) - Load or record a sample on this zone - Repeat this process for any other sample you want to pitch spread on the instrument.

1. Zone list: This is a listing of all the sample zones already assigned to the sampler. Move your nger over it to scroll up or down. The highlighted item represents the zone which you are currently editing parameters for. 2. Zone number: A number indicating the zone position in the list. 3. Low key: Shows the key on which the zone starts from. 4. High key: Shows the key on which the zone ends at. 5. Base key: Shows the key the sample assigned to the zone will start to spread from. When playing this key, your sample sounds unmodied. The rests of the keys will either lower or increase the pitch of the sample depending on whether they are below or above the base key. 6. Sample name: Indicates the sample name currently loaded on the zone. 7. New zone: Creates a new empty zone. If the entire keyboard range (128 keys) is already taken up by other zones, a message will appear asking you to make room for this zone. You can then select another zone and decrease the keyboard range it uses (by changing the low key and high key parameters).

5. SEQUENCER

The sequencer is one of the most important tools in BeatMaker. This is the place where you can combine, create, edit and sequence your patterns to create a song. Patterns are arranged along the instrument tracks and follow a time grid so that they can be played together or sequentially. By managing their arrangement on the sequencer, you can create intros, verses, choruses and breaks that will form your nal composition.

A. OVERVIEW
To access the Sequencer, press the [SEQUENCER] button at the top of the Studio view:

1 2 7

1. Home: Opens the Studio screen. 2. Follow playback: If activated, the sequencer will automatically scroll when playing, following the current play position. 3. Track button: Tap the track button to set its properties such as the track name, mute mode, recording mode or to delete it. 4. Horizontal scrolling: Move the button to scroll horizontally in the sequencer.

5. Undo: Cancels the last editing action done in the sequencer. 6. Redo: Restores the last undone action. 7. Timeline indicator: This bar indicates the timeline of your song. Each number represents the bar at which the song events shown below will be played back. The orange delimiter shows the time range that will repeat when LOOP mode is on in the Transport bar. The white triangle indicates the current playback position. 8. Vertical scrolling: Move the button to scroll vertically in the sequencer if you have more tracks that can be displayed on one screen. 9. Sequencer toolbar: NAVIGATE: With this tool you can move your nger over the sequencer to scroll through your sequences. Use the pinch movement to zoom in or out on the sequencer. Tapping a pattern selects it. Double-tapping a pattern opens the Pattern Editor (see section C below). SELECT: Use this tool to select one or more patterns at the same time by drawing a rectangle around it/them with your nger. Double-tapping a pattern opens the Pattern Editor (see section C below). DRAW: This tool allows you to create a new pattern by moving your nger over a zone in the sequencer. Tapping an existing pattern will delete it. SPLIT: Divides a single pattern into two pieces. Tap on a specic location in the pattern to split it there. TRACK: Opens a panel to let you create a new empty track for any of your instrument. IMPORT: Load a MIDI le into the song sequencer. You can then reassign the created MIDI patterns to your existing tracks. Note: Control, Program Changes and Pitch Wheel events will not be taken into account. EXPORT: Displays the song export panel. See section D below for more information.

B. PATTERN MANAGEMENT
As you record and compose new patterns, you will want to arrange, repeat and duplicate them along the sequencer timeline, in order to organize your music as short sequences or a song. The sequencer provides various tools for doing this; they become available once you select one or more patterns in the timeline:

Revision 2.2

Page 33

BeatMaker 2 User Manual

As you can see in the screenshot above, the [SELECT] tool is turned on and we select pattern number 2. When a selection is made, the pattern management tools are displayed on the sequencer. In this example we have three different patterns, number 1 and number 3 from a Drum Machine track, and pattern 2 from a Keyboard Sampler track. Pattern 1 is repeated 4 times from bar 5 to bar 9. If we later modify the content of Pattern 1 by recording over it or modifying it, all four repetitions will be modied, because they are based on that pattern. You can also distinguish a pattern as being one based on another by its slightly darker color (i.e. the purple used for pattern 1 is darker than the one used for pattern 3). Lets take a look at the tools available for managing patterns: EDIT PATTERN: Opens the selected pattern in the Pattern Editor (see Section C below for more information). REPEAT PATTERN: Creates a duplicate of the selected pattern and places it directly after the original on the timeline. COPY PATTERN: Creates a new copy of the selected pattern and places it directly after the original on the timeline. Use this option instead of duplicating if you want to modify a pattern while preserving the original unchanged. DELETE PATTERN: Deletes the selected patterns or pattern references from the sequencer. DISPLAY TOOLS: Tap this button to show or hide the editing tools.

MOVE HORIZONTALLY: Hold this button and move your nger horizontally to move the selected patterns to the left or right on the timeline. Remove your nger when the patterns are where you want them to be.

MOVE VERTICALLY: Hold this button and move your nger vertically to move the selected patterns up or down to other tracks. Remove your nger when the patterns are where you want them to be. RESIZE PATTERN: Hold this button and move your nger horizontally to resize the selected patterns. Remove your nger when the patterns are the size you want them to be. CENTER/ZOOM: Tap this button to center the visible part of the sequencer on the current selection. Double tap to center and zoom in on the current selection.

By using the tools explained above, you can perform all the necessary actions to arrange your patterns along the sequencer. The UNDO and REDO tools are useful if you make a mistake like deleting a pattern or moving a selection to the wrong position.

C. PATTERN EDITOR C.1. PRESENTATION

The Pattern Editor is where you can sequence and edit all the events, such as notes and automations, that make up a specic pattern. You can compose entire patterns using it, as well as modify a previously recorded pattern to adjust incorrect notes or automations. The Pattern Editor is composed of a timeline, showing the duration of a pattern, and of a pad or piano roll, representing the different notes/samples of a Drum Machine or Keyboard Sampler (up to 128 pads/keys). To edit a specic pattern, select it in the sequencer and press the [EDIT PATTERN] button

1. Close: Goes back to the Sequencer. 2. Auto preview: If this button is activated, when you draw a note the sound of the corresponding key or pad will be played. This is useful for knowing how a note will sound. 3. Empty zone: The grayed-out area symbolizes a zone where no samples are available in the instrument for which you are making music. In other words, if you place notes into this area, the instrument will not make any sound. 4. Pad/piano roll: Indicates which sample or note will be played by the corresponding events on the timeline. 5. MIDI Export: Saves the current pattern into a MIDI score le. 6. MIDI Import: Loads an existing MIDI score le into the current pattern. Note: Control, Program Changes and Pitch Wheel events will not be taken into account. 7. Horizontal scrolling: Move the button to scroll horizontally in the timeline. 8. Quantization: Denes the smallest fraction of a bar in the Pattern Editor. Use the left and right arrow to change it (from 1/8 to 1/96 of a bar). For example, setting this value to 1/16 will allow you to draw or resize notes down to one-sixteenth of a bar precision. 9. Undo: Cancels the last editing action done in the pattern editor. 10. Redo: Restores the last undone action. 11. Vertical scrolling: Move the button to scroll vertically in the pattern editor, to display other notes/ samples available on the instrument.

C.2. EDITING NOTES

Editing notes in the Pattern Editor is similar to managing your patterns in the sequencer. Start by selecting the notes you want to edit, and the editing tools will appear above the editor:

On the screenshot above, we selected two notes (E3 and G3). Here are the tools we can use to modify notes in the editor: QUANTIZE NOTES: Opens the Quantize window. If the timing of a note is wrong, you can use quantization to move it to the bar division of your choice. This is also useful when a recording has not been played perfectly on time. You can also add swing to the selected notes, by adding a small lag between the notes. COPY NOTES: Creates a copy of the selected note and places it directly after the original on the timeline. DELETE NOTES: Deletes the selected notes from the timeline. DISPLAY TOOLS: Tap this button to show or hide the editing tools.

MOVE HORIZONTALLY: Hold this button and move your nger horizontally to move the selected notes to the left or right on the timeline. Remove your nger when the patterns are where you want them to be. MOVE VERTICALLY: Hold this button and move your nger vertically to move the selected notes up or down to the pad/piano roll. Remove your nger when they are where you want them to be.

Revision 2.2

RESIZE NOTES: Hold this button and move your nger horizontally to resize the selected notes. Remove your nger when the notes are where you want them to be. CENTER/ZOOM: Tap this button to center the visible part of the pattern editor on the current selection. Double tap to center and zoom in on the current selection.

C.3. EDITING NOTE PARAMETERS & AUTOMATIONS

Apart from notes position and duration, the Pattern Editor lets you modify other note parameters, as well as the connected instrument and effects properties. It is possible to dene through time how an instrument or effect will behave (automations). You can select which parameter/automation to modify within the Pattern Editor by pressing the [EDIT] button at the bottom-right corner of the screen. A parameter list will popup:

C.3.1. NOTE PARAMETERS

Notes have three additional properties which can be modied in the Pattern Editor: NOTES VELOCITY: this is the volume of the note. You can change to have different volumes for individual notes in a pattern. NOTES TUNE: Regardless of what key or sample the note is triggering, you can affect the pitch of the sound up or down by 12 semitones. NOTES PAN: Modies the stereo output of a note, to the left or right. In the Pattern Editor, select the notes for which you want to modify the parameters, and select in the list one of the three parameters dened above (if no notes have been selected, all notes will be displayed in the Note Parameter editor):
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Parameter range: Indicates the range of the note parameter that is currently being edited (i.e. 0 to 127 for the Velocity) 2. Editing notes: Notes that have previously been selected are displayed in the Note Editor (in our example, three notes). Their heights are relative to the parameter value currently being edited. 3. Current parameter: The list item with a pencil icon on its left refers to the currently edited parameter. 4. Parameter/Automation Selector: Shows or hides the parameter list popup. To go back to normal note editing mode, select NOTES from the list. 5. Draw: When this tool is activated, moving your nger above a note will redene its parameter value. The Navigate and Select tools work similarly as within the normal Pattern Editor view.

C.3.2. AUTOMATIONS
Automations allow you to control various parameters of the instrument and effects assigned to a pattern track over time. A pattern can thus not only send notes to an instrument but also modify how the instrument plays and the effects applied to it. You can also record automations, as explained in section TRANSPORT: PLAYBACK AND RECORDING of this manual. The following screenshots shows the list of possible automation parameters for a Keyboard Sampler having 3 effects connected (Filter, Overdrive and BitCrusher):

Revision 2.2

BeatMaker 2 User Manual

The list items written in YELLOW species that an automation already exists for this parameter. Two parameters are always available regardless of the instrument or effects connected: TRACK VOLUME and TRACK PAN. They respectively allow you to automate the volume and panoramic of the instrument. The following screenshot shows an automation of the Filter effect Cutoff parameter:

Use the [DRAW] tool to modify the automation values over time of the selected parameter.

D. EXPORTING YOUR SONG TO AN AUDIO OR MIDI FILE

If you want to play the song you created with BeatMaker on your computer, share it with friends or burn it to a CD, you will need to rst convert it to a standard audio le. You can also export a small part of your song to reuse it later as a sample in a Drum Machine or Keyboard Sampler instrument. BeatMaker can also export your song in the MIDI format, which is like having a score of your work. You can later use this MIDI le with software of your choice to edit or reuse the notes you have been composing in BeatMaker. Please note that a MIDI le is not an audio le, and will not play exactly as it would in BeatMaker: it only contains notes and track information. To start the export process, press the [EXPORT] button at the bottom right corner of the Sequencer and the following window will appear:

1 2

1. Export start: Choose from which bar of your song you want to start exporting. 2. Export duration: Choose the duration in bars for your export. 3. Whole song: Tap this button to automatically set the Export start and Export duration to the full duration of your song (i.e. starting at bar 1 and ending at the last pattern found in the sequencer timeline). 4. Loop positions: Tap this button to automatically set the Export start and Export duration to correspond to the loop in the sequencer. 5. To Audio le: Press this button to export your song to one or multiple audio WAVE or AIFF le(s). 6. To MIDI le: Press this button to export your song to a standard MIDI score le. The le browser will pop up to let you choose where you want the MIDI le to be saved. If you choose to export to an audio le, the following option panel will pop-up:

Revision 2.2

BeatMaker 2 User Manual

- Audio le format: Choose whether you want your le to be saved as a standard WAVE or AIFF audio le. Most audio software and MP3 players can read both formats. - Exporting scheme: Your song can either be exported into one single audio le (ALL TRACKS) or into individual audio les for each track within the song sequencer (SEPARATE TRACKS). Exporting your tracks into separate audio les can be useful if you want to rework your song using another DAW software. After the export process is complete, you will be able to transfer the resulting le to your computer, website or to other compatible iOS applications. Please see the Sharing section of this manual for more information.

Song settings: Tap this button to modify your song parameters such as tempo (BPM), time signature, and loop positions. 11. Project info (iPad only): Displays the current project name and memory usage. 12. BPM & Signature (iPad only): Displays the current project tempo and signature. 13. Song position (iPad only): Displays the current song position in seconds and bars. 14. Transport toggle (iPhone & iPod only): Calls up/hides the transport bar. You can record beats and melodies by playing directly on the Drum Machine and Keyboard Sampler, as well as change certain parameters (automations). These patterns can then be organized and edited using the Sequencer (see the Sequencer section above for more information). Various parameters are set when recording: - The track on which the recording will happen - The current position in your song - The possibility of a pre-existing pattern at this point in the song - Whether the LOOP mode is on or off BeatMaker records on a track assigned to the current instrument or FX bus that has the RECORDING parameter turned on. The recording starts at the current playback position, and if there is a pattern already placed at this location what is recorded is added to it. If no pattern is present, a new one is created automatically. When the LOOP mode is on, the recording repeats the portion of the song, enabling you to record your instrument step-by-step. Please note that recording is only possible when you are on an instrument view (Drum Machine and Keyboard Sampler), Mixer console or any effect rack. The Recording settings panel contains important parameters and tools that are useful when recording. Press the [REC.]button in the transport bar (number 9 on the gure above) to display it:

1. Recording track: Selects the track to record to. Only the tracks connected to the instrument being used are shown. Use the left/right arrows to change between tracks. 2. Add track: Creates a new empty track for the instrument. 3. Auto quantize value: Denes the maximum fraction of a beat used when recording a note. For example if 1/16 is selected, the recording of all the notes will be able to be shifted by one-sixteenth of a bar. This is very useful for automatically correcting the timing of a recording. Use the -/+ buttons to change the quantize value. 4. Enable Auto quantize: If this is turned off, your recordings will not undergo any quantization. The notes will play back at the exact position you recorded them. 5. Swing value: Changes the quantization of recorded notes by adding a delay relative to a percentage of the quantized value. Adding swing is very useful to create groove or human feeling in your recordings. 6. Alternate Swing: Changes the swing algorithm so that it alternates the delay applied between each recorded note. 7. Preroll value: Denes the number of bars the sequencer will play before actual recording begins. This is useful in combination with the Metronome to prepare yourself for recording. 8. Enable Preroll: Turns preroll on and off. 9. Note repeat: When turned on, holding an instrument key or pad repeatedly triggers the note at a rate set by the Auto quantize value. 10.Note overdub: With this feature turned on, when you record over a previously existing pattern, the new notes you trigger will not replace the existing ones.

B.3. CHANGING THE TEMPO OR PITCH OF A SAMPLE

When working with audio samples to compose songs, you may often need to adjust their tempo or pitch (tune) so that they sound right with the rest of your project. The traditional pitch-change technique has the side effect of a change in the tempo as well as the tune. Using BeatMaker 2 Time-Stretching and Pitch-Shifting algorithms, you can change the tempo of a sample without affecting its tuning, and change its pitch without altering the playback speed.

B.3.1. TIME-STRETCH
To access the time-stretching panel, tap the [PROCESS] button on the bottom toolbar of the Sample Lab, then on [TIME STRETCH]. If you have not previously set the tempo of your sample, the Set tempo panel will be displayed rst (see Section E below).

2 3

1. New sample tempo: Choose the tempo your sample should be time-stretched to. 2. Quick tempo setters: Sets the new sample to the current song tempo, or divides/multiplies it by two. 3. Pitch-shifting: Applies a pitch-shift to the sample by selecting the value of the shift in semitones. A value of 0 does not change the samples tune. 4. Source of sample type: Helps the time-stretching algorithm process your sample better by knowing the type of sound it is. 5. Process: When the previous parameters have been set, tap this button to apply the time-stretch algorithm to your sample.

Use the [-] and [+] buttons to change the semitone value and tap [APPLY] to pitch-shift your sample. The tune of your sample will be changed by the semitone value you selected.

C. SETTING LOOP MARKERS

Switching to the [LOOP MARKERS] editing mode allows you to set the looping region of an audio le. Setting the loop markers (also known as Sustain loop) is useful when making your own sampled instrument: it denes the zone that is supposed to be looped when your sample plays back. See the HOLD+LOOP trigger mode parameters in the instrument sections of this manual.

10. Loop region: Move the left and right markers to dene the loop region of your sample. 11. Set/unset sustain loop: Enables or disables the loop region on the sample.

D. CHOP LAB: SLICING YOUR SAMPLES

The Chop Lab is a tool which can slice an audio sample into smaller parts and automatically create new Drum Machine presets and patterns that combines them. For example, you can load in a beat sample and extract the kick, snare and hi-hat elements that make it up, then reuse them later, individually, in the Drum Sampler. You can access the Chop Lab within the Sample Lab by switching to the CHOP MARKERS edit mode, as well as within the Drum Machine by pressing the [CHOP LAB] button from the Preset menu. You can also load Apple Loops AIFF les into the Chop Lab: it will automatically read the existing slices information and display them on the waveform.

You can slice a sample by inserting markers at the desired locations. By default, a marker is placed at the beginning of the sample. 1. Markers mode: Use this tool to add a slice marker or move it to the desired location on the waveform. While in Navigate mode, the same can be achieving by tapping within the top time grid. 2. Auto chop: Displays a panel to let you automatically chop the sample into a customizable number of slices. 3. Previous/Next slices: Selects the slice to the left of the current selection. 4. Delete slice: Deletes the currently selected slice. When you are done adding markers to slice the sample at the desired locations, press the [CLOSE] button at the top-left corner to save your changes. If you were working on a WAV audio le, BeatMaker will ask you to save your sample as an AIFF le in order to keep the slices information:

Revision 2.2

12. MIDI: CONTROLLING BEATMAKER AND COMMUNICATING WITH EXTERNAL ACCESSORIES, SOFTWARE AND iOS APPLICATIONS

MIDI is a protocol for communicating musical events and parameters between applications and music hardware. BeatMaker supports both receiving and sending MIDI events: BeatMakers instruments, effects and parameters can be controlled by and can control external MIDI accessories, making it a very convenient integration for your home-studio or live sets needs. Using Virtual MIDI connections, compatible iOS applications (such as synthesizers) can generate sound from events triggered or recorded within BeatMaker. Hardware and software sequencers can also be synchronized to BeatMakers sequencer using the MIDI Clock feature. MIDI controllers can be connected using CoreMidi-compatible dock accessories (for iPhone, iPod & iPad) or using the USB Camera Connection Kit (at this time of writing, this feature is only supported on iPad devices).

A. CONFIGURING GLOBAL MIDI SETTINGS

BeatMakers global MIDI settings can be accessed by tapping on the [INFO] button within the Studio view, then on the [MIDI SETUP] button:

B. CONNECTING A MIDI CONTROLLER TO YOUR DEVICE B.1. USING THE USB CAMERA CONNECTION KIT (iPad ONLY)
First plug-in your MIDI controller using the USB Camera Connection Kit. If your device is supported, it should now be powered up. However, it is possible that the iPhone Operating System (iOS) displays one of the following error message:

- The attached accessory is not supported: Your MIDI controller is not yet supported by the - The attached accessory uses too much power: Your device cannot bring enough energy to
operating system and cannot be used with your iPad. power up your controller. You can try connecting an USB Hub (powered with external alimentation) to your USB Camera Connection Kit and then plug-in your MIDI controller to this hub.

B.2. USING A COREMIDI-COMPATIBLE DOCK ACCESSORY

Follow the instructions given in your specic dock accessory manual to learn how to connect your external MIDI controllers to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. If your dock accessory is CoreMidicompatible, no further conguration should be required.

C. CONNECTING MULTIPLE iOS MUSIC APPLICATIONS TOGETHER

Using Virtual MIDI inputs & outputs, compatible iOS applications can communicate notes and instrument parameters between each other. As such, other applications can control BeatMakers instruments and effects and vice-versa, also while running in the background. This feature is also great for using other software synthesizers along with BeatMaker, increase sound palettes and possibilities. Section D below explains how to connect applications together. To bring the list of applications running in the background, double-tap on your device HOME button. Tap on an application icon to make it visible. If you hold an application icon, you will enter the Close Application mode: type then on any application to close it. IMPORTANT NOTE: Using more than one music application on your device is a very CPU and Memory intensive operation. iOS may close without warning any running applications if it believes your device is running out of resources. Make sure to close any non-essential background applications when using BeatMaker to free up resources.

D. CONTROLLING INSTRUMENTS & EFFECTS

If you connected a MIDI controller which has keys, pads or buttons that can send MIDI notes, you can use them to directly trigger the Drum Machines pads or Keyboard Samplers keys, without using your iPhone or iPad screen. Other iOS applications which support sending MIDI can also be used to achieve the same results. You can use the full MIDI keyboard range to trigger the:

- 128 pads from the 8 banks on the Drum Machine. For example, the rst pad from Bank A can be
triggered by sending a C-2 MIDI note message (lowest possible key). - 128 keys of the Keyboard Sampler. The corresponding MIDI note will be played by the sampler.

Each MIDI controller or application has its own conguration for sending MIDI messages when moving a knob, fader or other. By default, BeatMaker maps most of the instruments and effects controls to specic MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) commands. The next sections dene what is the default conguration for the instruments and effects. You can also assign your own MIDI CC to each BeatMaker parameter so that your MIDI setup fully reects the one of your controller (See Section D.5: Setting up your own MIDI conguration for each instrument).

D.1. DRUM MACHINE

The following table denes which MIDI CC commands are assigned by default to the Drum Machines parameters:

The following parameters can also be controlled for each pad:

- VOLUME - PAN - FILTER CUTOFF - FILTER RESONANCE - FILTER KEY - VOLUME ENVELOPE ATTACK - VOLUME ENVELOPE DECAY - VOLUME ENVELOPE SUSTAIN - VOLUME ENVELOPE RELEASE
Since their availability depends whether a sample is loaded on a specic pad or not, there is no default MIDI conguration for these parameters. However, you can assign them manually to the MIDI CC of your choice (See Section C: Setting up your own MIDI conguration).

The screenshot above displays the MIDI conguration of a Drum Machine instrument. 1. Input MIDI Channel: Sets the MIDI channel to which the instrument will respond to. If [OMNI] mode is enabled, the instrument will process any MIDI message regardless of the MIDI channel. For more information, see Section C.5 MIDI Channels and OMNI mode. 2. Output MIDI Channel: If MIDI Out is enabled within the MIDI Settings, sets the MIDI Channel the instrument will send its events too. Tracks for this instrument will also send events to this particular MIDI Channel. 3. Save Conguration: Saves the current MIDI conguration to a le of your choice. It is useful to reuse the same MIDI conguration for another instrument or project. 4. Load Conguration: Loads a previously saved MIDI conguration. 5. MIDI CC Value change: Use the [+] and [-] buttons to manually change the MIDI Continuous Controller assigned to the selected parameter. 6. MIDI Learn: When turned ON, moving a control (knob, fader) on your MIDI Controller will assign it to the currently selected parameter. This feature is very useful to quickly set up BeatMaker to work with your controller: - Select a parameter such as TRACK VOLUME - Press [LEARN] - Move the desired knob/fader on your MIDI controller - This knob/fader will now correctly control the TRACK VOLUME 7. MIDI CC Value: Displays the current MIDI Continuous Controller number assigned to the parameter.

D.5. MIDI CHANNELS AND OMNI MODE

The MIDI specication denes that up to 16 Instrument Channels can be used to communicate information between hardware and software musical instruments. MIDI Channels can be useful to control different BeatMaker instruments using one or several MIDI devices. You can assign each instrument to a specic MIDI channel at the top of the MIDI Conguration panel. The instrument will respond to any MIDI message sent to its Channel number. An [OMNI] global option is also available in the Transport Bar. When [OMNI] mode is enabled, the currently displayed instrument will respond to any MIDI messages, regardless of which MIDI Channel it has been assigned to. Lets take an example to illustrate how to setup MIDI Channels:

- Two instruments are created in your BeatMaker project: a Drum Machine and a Keyboard Sampler - You have two MIDI controllers connected to your device. You would like one to control the Drum
Sampler, and the other one to control the Keyboard Sampler - Go to the MIDI Conguration of the Drum Machine. Set the MIDI Channel to 1. - Congure one of your MIDI devices so that it sends messages to Channel number 1 (check your device user manual for instructions on how to do so) - Go to the MIDI Conguration of the Keyboard Sampler. Set the MIDI Channel to 2. - Congure your second MIDI device so that it sends messages to Channel number 2 (check your device user manual for instructions on how to do so) - Disable [OMNI] mode in the Transport Bar. - Now each of your MIDI devices should control a different instrument.

13. PREFERENCES
A. AUDIO DEVICES & OUTPUTS
If you connect other audio devices to your iPhone or iPad (such as a sound card or bluetooth speaker), you can tell BeatMaker which audio output it should playback to. By default, BeatMaker sends audio to your device line out. To change the audio output, press the [INFO]button at the top-right corner of the Studio view, then press the [AUDIO OUTPUT] button from the info panel. The following window will pop-up:

2 3

1. Output volume: Sets the volume for the current audio output. 2. Select Audio Device output: Brings a list for selecting the audio output BeatMaker should use. If you are using a connected sound card or bluetooth speaker, they will be displayed in the list to let you use them. 3. Done: Closes the Audio Output panel. NOTE: Using bluetooth devices can add an extra audio delay (latency) during playback.

B. WIST SUPPORT
WIST (Wireless Sync-Start Technology) is a technology which allows two WIST-compatible applications to be started/stopped synchronously and wirelessly. It can be useful during live performances to start the playback and match the tempo of two iOS devices at the same time. To enable WIST, press the [INFO]button at the top-right corner of the Studio view, then tap on the [WIST] button. The application will then look for other devices connected to your WiFi network or via Bluetooth. Once another device has been found, pressing the [PLAY] button from the Transport bar will also trigger the playback of the application running on your other device. The device that initiates the WIST connection is the Master: it will control the playback and tempo of the other device.

WIST is a trademark and software of KORG INC.

BeatMaker 2 User Manual

You can modify some of the parameters of BeatMaker 2 through the Settings application. Launch Settings from your springboard, scroll down to the applications and tap on BeatMaker 2. Here is a description of the available settings: Knob handling: Select whether knobs should rotate on horizontal or vertical nger movements. FTP Settings: - Username: Choose the login used to connect to BeatMakers FTP server - Password: Choose the password used to connect to BeatMakers FTP server Audio Latency: Audio latency is the time between when a sound is played (like a note triggered from the Keyboard Sampler piano) and the moment it is heard in your headphones or speakers. Choosing the Low value improves the delay but takes more processing power. If you use many instruments and effects in a project and you think that this may be too much for your device, you may switch to the High value. MIDI: - OUT active by default: Always activate sending MIDI data to MIDI outputs - Send Clock by default: Always activate sending MIDI Clock synchronization data to MIDI outputs - Thru active by default: Always forward MIDI events received from MIDI inputs to MIDI outputs - Virtual MIDI ports: Enable or disable MIDI inputs and outputs ports created by other applications. - Buffer latency: Sets the duration before BeatMaker sends MIDI events to other controllers and applications. When sending MIDI over a WiFi network (such as with the Network Session output), you may need to change this value to an higher value. Memory limit: Species how many Megabytes of RAM memory (not disk space) BeatMaker will allow for loading samples. As RAM memory is shared amongst all applications, iOS may close without warning any application that is using too much resources, losing any unsaved work. If you are experiencing random BeatMaker exits, you should try to lower the memory limit to a safer value. It is very recommended to close any application running in the background when using BeatMaker. Rebooting your device can also help recovering all your RAM memory. By default, this limit is set to 32 MB. File Database: BeatMaker 2 manages your projects, presets and samples in a database so that you can nd them quickly. You should not have to modify these settings unless something has gone wrong (hardware or software failure, quitting the application while it was saving or updating the database). - Reset Database: resets the database to the factory settings.
