Anything and everything about MIDI - arp, mapper, mangler, generator, chorder, controller, utility, fx etc.

Wonder if Stepic is multi-touch capable.
It would be a shame if it wasn't.
Can run two instances of Stepic?

[ThomasHelzle]

No idea about multitouch, but you can run as many Stepic instances as you want - with 1.5 you can even run them into each other and trigger sequences with sequences with arpeggios etc.
(Using Bitwig here, where these things are very easy).

I find that the step divisions and holds are especially effective with the new Arp...

Edit: I just asked: It seems there is a user who uses Stepic with multitouch on Windows successfully so it should work. I can also recommend the Discord for more in-depth questions.

[Kalamata Kid]

Fantastic.
Great Version 1.5.
Will definitely get this!
The price is right.

Am I right to assume that the Ableton Live version didn't get an update (note: I have both versions, Live and VST)?

[ThomasHelzle]

No, both are updated AFAIK but I do not have the Live version.

The Bitwig Grid as far as I know cannot host VST's.

[ThomasHelzle]

No, the Grid can't, but you can have as many Midi plugins in a track as you want at any position and in any order - that is what I was referring to since you asked about multiple instances.
Other hosts make that much more complicated needing separate tracks for each such plugin.

[elassi]

Just asking because the update-func in both Stepic-versions points to the same download (VST that is).

Anyway, no drama. Jens will sort it out if (unlikely) it becomes one ...

[ThomasHelzle]

Ah, I see - probably best to ask on the Discord then. But I think one can download from the account too?

[elassi]

Yep, account-dl works.

And (while doing so) I see that the links/files are different as expected.

Will report it to him ... later.

First I gotta play with the new functions.

Thanks for the clarification.
Some hosts such as Bidule allow one to host native plugins or modules with VST effect and VST instruments. This happens without any problem.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve, but with Bitwigs semi-modular structure and flexible routing, I don't really miss the option to use VSTs in the Grid. Combined with modulators and the native Midi operators and devices, it does everything I personally need without even using the Grid.
But I do rather simple things
