Harmonix - Digitone iOS App

thanx for the fast reply, i had it working Months ago, just see my Ipad is not on latest IOS, i am just updating my Ipad and try it again then, i drop you a line after Update.

Doubt that would matter, recheck the required settings on the DN and that you have the appropriate MIDI Ports selected in Harmonix.

it worked now, but now i remind why i used this App after the purchase months ago only for an Hour or two, the Random sound creation works great but the App can do obviously so much more, it looks so complex, but without a Manual or a Video i am total lost, the Help Menu does not cover the complexity. I think with a Video and a Manual you sell a lot lot more of this App and make it much more useful for your customers.

I don’t want to make videos :[

I think the Help Menu + playing around reveals it all. Which Mode / feature are you having trouble with?

I was browsing the forum and saw this thread, thought I’d give it a go. So glad I did it has breathed new life in to my digitone coming up with sounds I would never find by myself. No proper manual but just fiddled about for a while and I got the hang of it.

The guys at Electron should give you a job and a Digitakt. This functionality but in to the overbridge plugins would be awesome.

Plus one for this.

I have this and Collider. Not entirely sure how to use both properly but both produce interesting results through playing with. Also really appreciate your presence and help with questions on the forum @mekohler

Haha thank you :]

I did recently purchase a DT and started the skeleton of an app for it, but it won’t be ready for a while. I need to figure out the sysex decoding first, and I’m in the middle of other projects and a move :x

Can anyone confirm that this app is working on the newest update with the digitone keys? I’m about to purchase harmonix, but just want to be sure everything is still working fine with the latest update. Thanks!

I would really like to see more results and impressions of the app in action. Can someone record some videos with sound from the Digitone and make them available to everyone?

Guess this app is final? seen no update since Oct 2021

Unless there are bugs or good feature requests it’s pretty much done

Was the oct update done just to reset apple’s timer for “apps not upgraded in a while are to be removed”?

Nah, I made some improvements to the randomization algorithms

I just bought Harmonix and when i click on the question mark on the top right of the screen the splash screen says Digitone 1.30.

Just a simple mistake or any upgrade needed? (I’m on 1.32A)

1.30 is the minimum OS, it should work fine :+1:

I get the general idea of the functions at first glance, that’s a lot of features you packed here!
I bought it cause i was interested by euclidean pattern generator but although the pattern is sent and received by the DN it seems it doesn’t populate the targeted tracks/arps or change any parameter in the scale settings.
Did i miss something?

I guess they did change the Pattern format after the last OS, as I get the same behavior…I’ll have to go back and fix the pattern functions. Sorry :[

Ah ok thanks for replying that fast though, i won’t scratch my head more then :wink:
Few more questions: Is it possible to save the Midi config? I restarted the app and saw it reset.
Are the perc and kicks presets working on your side? I keep spamming these buttons but i still get sounds with notes.
Is scale button affecting anything?
What does MFX stand for? I thought it was for Master FX but it doesn’t seem to work either.
Any way to randomize the arp?

Loads of questions because lot of exciting possibilities :wink:

Actually, it does work for me if I connect my iPad directly to the DN. When I route the sysex through my iMac it doesn’t populate the trigs and even the Kit sysex doesn’t go through…

I have the iPad connected thru a CCK and with USB to the DN.

Shall i try thru the MIDI port?
