Augmatic GRE - algorithmic MIDI drum-pattern generator (VST3 & AUv3)

[Uncle E]

Can you reduce the range of the Shift and Humanize controls? I can't see anything passed 15% being useful, and they're hard to dial in when the useful knob ranges are so small.

2 min demo, come on now, that's not even enough time for the tutorial. I gotta say I'm finding that somewhat unreasonable. Though I sincerely appreciate the effort made to provide a demo.

Also, is there some reason it's only 6 kit pieces? If I'm missing something, it's probably because I didn't have enough time to look at it.

Unfortunately, I cannot support a dev who feels 2 mins of demo time is sufficient, if that's the case.

A red flag for me I'm afraid, ymmv.

It's fun and cheap. It's not nearly as fleshed out as AutoBeat but it's better for glitchy stuff. They work well together, AutoBeat being more conventional and Augmatic being more erratic.

Honestly, I cant agree that it is fun, or that I even like it. I've been trying to experiment to
see if I do actually like it, but having to change it out every couple of minutes to reset it is
really annoying to the point that I am ready delete it. I honestly can't think of any logical
reason for it, beyond some inexplicably obtuse sales tactic.

Anyway, the developer is free to do what they want, but I wanted to say that it will prevent
me from buying it. That's all.

Anyone else is free to do as they like, including the developer. Tho I hope they at least take
note.

And in all honesty, I have not really been able to find a combination of preset and drum kit
that I actually liked, 2 mins or no. I do believe it's in there, that's all.

[Uncle E]

Yes, definitely a good suggestion. 20 minutes would be reasonable and somewhat industry standard.

A couple of strange choices.

1) why only 6 tracks? I’d like to see 10.. Then I could use it with my TR-1000.

2) it’s impossible to demo with the 2 minute shut off.

Hope the dev adds more tracks and time to demo, as it looks awesome

[Uncle E]

Needs 11 to work with TR-808's.

[simmo75]

A little + button to add tracks would be a great addition…
I may just buy it in the hope the dev adds the ability to add tracks

[simmo75]

Thanks for the heads up about Autobeat, I just bought it. Plays beautifully with my TR-1000.

[pekbro]

Autobeat is pretty good, but I think the patterns it actually generates are not overly great. I'm amazed that there is still a lack of a proper drum pattern generator on the market. Hopefully somebody like Mario Nieto or Aqueel Aadam will come thru on that front at some point.

Aside from built-ins, I get my best results from HW like the OXIONE currently.
