Atom | Piano Roll 2

man, this is almost illegal for the price this plugin is being sold. it almost discards all the awesome stuff that it includes, since when you purchase a MIDI environment for this amount of money, you expect it to be a all-in-one solution for MIDI-related workflow. and CC editor is a fairly basic feature tbh.

The last update was really good! Thank you for your passion in this project

Atom2 is a good midi tool for working and performing with midi loops, however the amount of screen space taken by the multiple instance makes it awkward to use with more than five individual tracks on iPad unless your are fortunate enough to have a launchpad external controller. I feel for iPad use it needs a grid style interface in the style of a launchpad like the LK app has, if this was added or was part of an ATOM3 app it would be a 5 star app

I absolutely love this app and used it in AUM - launching clips with my Novation Launchpad X. Having recently upgraded to the Launchpad Pro Mk3, I was expecting the Session view to work in the same way. Unfortunately, it doesn't enable the session ‘clip launch’ mode. It still works on the X, so Im wondering if it’s the latest firmware. I hope the Dev will take a look and see if theres anything that can be done.

I got Atom 2 with the hopes of a slick piano roll editor for use in AUM. It certainly provides a really beautiful editing environment for notes, except it is geared purely on clips, which I can live with, EXCEPT nowhere could I find how to add parameter controls for AUV3 instruments leaving my musical sections limited in their expressiveness. The reason I could not find what I was looking for is because it was not supported. So, I’m left disappointed, unfortunately. It showed a lot of promise. My workflow quest continues.

I’ve had this over a year and am drawn more and more into it. It has an interesting triggering interface as well that I will explore. Has benefitted from some good tutorials which swayed my purchase. The UI is a bit clunky but that’s because so much has been packed into it. Build with musicians in mind and obviously responding to a lot offered back. Well done and thank you .

Velocity editing is very poor. CC editing is non-existent. Best in class? Clearly not.

I want to like this app, and there are some things I do like. My issue is that it’s not very intuitive, at least for a casual user like me. For example, I can’t seem to get a loop set up that is longer than the default of 2 bars. I’ve searched the manual for “bars” etc and still can’t find anything. It seems remiss that I can’t just swipe the loop length to extend. Perhaps it’s the dreaded “user error”. …… And now an update to the above: - the dev has kindly responded (ta 😁). It is user error (!). Have now added a star. The only reason it’s not a 5* for me is because I prefer other apps that perform a similar function. Atom2 app will definitely suit others more though as it is a powerful tool. Give it a go, you might like it best.

Stunningly good app. A fantastic improvement on atom which I have used for many years. Thanks for the update!!

Even in passthrough mode with all quantization off all MIDI input coming this plugin is somehow processed into garbage. Useless.
