Dear Drage,
I understand your point.
we are thinking of changing the payement system, but for the moment simple solution are not easy (always some issues on customer data). Next, if y-we want to pass through banks, then the cost is really high :(
We are not a company but a association, funds we get are used after to organise conferences for adults, event for children to learn computer music, hardware, etc.
We don't sell much , really :) but enough to be able to organise events to learn music.
but we got your point, and well we continue to investigate.
regards.

Hello itsBREX,
thanks a lot for you compliments and here are some answers to your questions:
- midi export : this is a big work to do,
I found some libs that could help me but still some works to integrate them. So for the moment this feature is on standby on my side. However, there is a workaround, you could record the midi sequences using a a second midi track where the input is set to M4L Rythm composer.
- scale : This is feasible (and I have some codes for it coming from the MeloBang Plug in) but you need to give me more details : which kind of scale to you want ?
- wizard option on the remix knob : aie, I do'nt understand what you mean, can you re explain ?
Contact me from our website if you want and I could communicate with you in direct, and give you some other plug ins to test too :)
Regards, looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Vidau, Promise I will during the summer :)
I am currently updating all my plug ins :))) and new one is coming soon !

-- Would 3 instances of this in separate chains amount to less cpu than the full-fledged 8 lanes for the Pro version?
YES ! the CPU is this version is really good :-) by the way, the 8 rows as well ;-)
-- What are the other differences between the pro and the single?
The single has only ONE ROW.. the PRO version 8 ROWS...
-- How would you compare the CPU impact with other midi devices? I imagine its minuscule, but if you dragged/copied multiple instances with the transport stopped, what would it take for you to see your CPU go up 1%, for example?
I reached reached 4% :-)
-- Are all the parameters that should be visible instant mapped in a logical order on the Push?
It is automatically copied onto PUSH 1, 2 , the parameters appears logically, nicely..
-- While we're on the topic, I didn't see a Check Out button on your site. Registered thinking that licenses would show up when I was signed in, but didn't even get that far!
?? ha, I will check, normally you should go to your basket and then do the checkout. I do'nt like to push people to buy so I don't stress them with 'Check out, check out !!" :-)
I hope it answer your question, don't hesitate to send me a mail to egnouf@gmail.com

Dear Pluto and the rest of the community ;-)
Here are my answers (and we are in touch now by private email.. you are becomiung pone of our beta tester now !)...
---
Q1: Does the saved user patterns are aded to the list of the 512 ones ? There is any possibility to manage that list and filter it lets say ?
When you save, you will overwrite the current preset. Let's say that you have chosen the pattern 9, you change it and save it. The prefilled 9 is overwritten. I put a 'R' button to reset all the memory and come back to the normal 512 patterns... but then you loose all your saved works.
There are no mean to filter the memory. I will put it on the wish list (I could think of adding a panel (hidden) that you could open and then filter your memories). It's not a priority to be honest.
---
Q2: Does the pro version has the 32 steps patterns made specifically for it or are the same 16 steps ones from the free version multiply by 2 ? I mean there is any diversification between first 16 steps and the rest of the 16 steps?
In the PRO Version, a pattern is composed of 16 steps that I double to get the 32 steps (CPU perfomance reason). But in the PRO version you have 512 patterns x 32 steps... unique 512 patterns x 32 steps :-) in the Free version you have much much much less and you can't save neither edit your patterns.
So in a sense, there is no real "difference" between 1-16 and 16-32 steps. But it let you the space to create from the 17 to 32 what ever you want, your own ryhtm and save it ! So you make your own stuff above a prefilled pattern. I thought it would be nice and with my DJ producer it uses that a lot.
---
Q3: Are your patterns made with techno and house in mind, I mean you analyzed specific techno and house patterns or are more randomly?
Nothing is random, We took real drummer lines: Reaggae, Funk, Salsa, Tekno and House style. BUT my DJ producer Silvio ;-) wants to create a new version with more HOUSE/Tekno oriented patterns (even we think of Drum-and-Bass). We add this is the wishlist, no prob ! For sure, in the futur you will get this !
---
Q4: Do you think you can add also swing presets?
Yes, and I can count on you now (we exchanged by private mail) to test the some versions with different SWING Presets. It will not be publish before a couple of weeks, as before I will release upgrades with Accents Patterns Editing/saving + Current Swing but for each rows !!
---
FUTURE ? In the next weeks (10 to 15 days max!) ì will publkish a new version:
- Accents Editing
- One Swing per ROws that can be changed .. (now you have the same swing for ALL the rows).
- A special version for the one who bought the plug in at the beginning (yes a surprise!!).
-- END :-)

Well done man !! Great work :-)
To chain patterns, you have to click on the box rigth under the 'R' in red. tell me if it's still doesnot work.
I have publish a light version of this patch: the Drum Box Light

Hello,
I am just looking at your post now :-)
I will check this behavior and tell you after if I did a mistake or not ;-)
to be honnest, I am more on a bug from me !
if so, I will correct :-))) promise!

NEW Version guys! --> V1.6 , you can save presets :-)
very nice, thx man!
Excellent idea!!! thx !
thanks :-) I have to admit that I just took some COSMOD code allready done and just gather the whole into in a new patch... so we have to thank also cosmod ;-)
Well, It is possible to map to a launchpad, etc. I need to add more code to it.. and unfortunately I have issues:
- M4L is a pain with Presets.. and now I can't really change my code wihtout making the patch crashes.. I know it's strange but true!
- If I map the patch to a midi controller then it changes the philosophy, my aim was to create beats from my mouse and not from a controller (there are many patch who does that no?)
Now, I am currently working with sonic faction, we will provide soon some free patches.. .but I will also publish a new version of the Drum box.. LIGHT version, I will try then to see if I can add you functionnality :-)
I hope it answers your question?

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your donation! thanks!
I may be wrong :-) but let me explain:
- In fact, under the button MidiMap you have X and Y boxes. - Map these two boxes X and Y on your favourite midi controller. For me, I map these two red boxes on my Bitstream joystick.
- Then click on 'midimap' on the device.
- play with you controller!
I could not map the X and Y boxes next to the circle area :-( everytime I tried to correct the code, map my controller to this boxes, I get 0 or 1 !!!
So I decided to create this two other red boxes... simply map your controller on thoses boxes (red) and only those boxes.
Tell me if I am not clear, tell me if it solves your issue. Really don't hesitate :-)

oki, I will check. I come back asap with a new version :-)
Thanks a lot for your comment! I appreciate :-)
so I wil try to add accent --> decay and volume for the next version, and,
what do you mean by 'now I have the rnd button...' ? you want a random button ? why not!

Looks really really interesting!! I downloaded and I will test it soon :-)
Oki, I understand now :-)
In fact, I will look at what could be done to overcome this "issue".
could be just a setting in my patch.. let me check.. I come back as soon as I can :-)

I don't understand, sorry!
what do you mean?

Hello, and thanks for appreciating the tool :-)
about your issue -> you need to save the patterns in the tool using the "store" button. otherwise it doesnot save the presets, etc.
tell me if it solved your problem ?
cheers!

You are right, there are no differences!
in fact I put in red this row to make a User interface / look different. at the beginning, I just wanted to use this row just for my percussion sounds and I wanted to make it more visible than the other 4 rows. that's all. it is just a cosmetic thing :-)

you are right for the pattern recall ;-) it's not intended to create beat on the fly :-)
you don't have programming skills but you have most important: good ideas and good way of thinking to implement things easily ;-)
note I try to keep things simple.. so I may perhaps try to create a button that switch the interface from simple to extended. in extended you have the 64 steps...
I will check your links and try to work on something.. good that you gave me some links, I can then try to copy those codes and implement it into the M4L drum box.
talk to you soon (well... I hope!)

youah! I checked your draw and I understand better want to acheive. I have to be honnest with you and I have to admit that this is a "big" change in the sequencer max for live methods. It is not impossible to implement , it might be long for my level of programming :-(
I should publish soon a new version with:
- more LFO types (random, etc) and,
- 5 recall slots; you put inside those slots any presets you saved and want to recall using a midi controller -> You can map those slots with any midi controller and when you click on a PAD on the luanchpad or the quneo or akaki mpk... the slots selected is automatically recalled... this give you the possibility in live to change on the fly and with a lot of ease the presets... hope it will be clearer when I will publish the new version ;-)
Take care and I keep your idea in mind and will think of it little by little :-)
Cheers!
PS: can you send me the image to my personal email (egnouf AT gmail DOT com) as I could not save it into my hard disk?

just few remarks:
- I thought a lot about adding the launchpad, quneo, etc... to this patch but when I started to create this tool (few months ago), I wanted to play drums while I was in a train, hotel, etc... no need to have a controller.
I thought that if you had a launchpad, there are many patches for M4L that connect to launchpad, mono, etc. I guess I am wrong or well, those patches are not UI friendly or donot adress specific needs?
- I wonder how I can map efficiently the M4L drum box to the laucnhpad.
I have a quneo and how do I display the 5 rows and 16 steps on the pads efficiently? I am not speaking in terms of programming but more in terms of "user interface".
if you have any hint - pictures with your ideas are welcome - I would love to read them: it could help me :-)
cheers!

no, you can't use it with launchpad :-(
I don't have this controller.
your idea to control the M4L drum box with a controller like Launchpad and quneo is a very nice idea.
let me think about it and check how this can be handle.

Yes, I can. you can have Wooden or Metal ones :-)
Cool!
I have developed a new version (I am testing it still)... with 5x LFOs section (you will be able to modulate any paramater automatically) and Shift pattern functions.
Hope you will like it ;-)
I will update it only in 10 days (testing, and I want to make a short video to show how versatile and experimental can be this tool).
Thanks again for your support!
