Artur Nowak has updates Augmatic GRE, available at the intro price of $4.99, increasing to $9.99 after the promotion.
What’s new in version 1.1:
- Improvements:
- Presets and MIDI Mappings: No longer store redundant names inside XML files – filenames are the single source of truth. – Presets and MIDI Mappings: Menu dropdowns now scroll the entire list including subfolders, so all items are reachable even when there are many subfolder cateqories.
- Pattern Tab: 10x higher-resolution of SWING, SHIFT, and HUMANIZE parameters with reduced knob sensitivity for precise control.
- Pattern Tab: Added kinetic scrolling ta STEPS, PULSES, START ON, and NOTE lists for smoother, more precise, and faster navigation.
- Pattern Tab: BLEND header now shows arrows pointing toward the Grids and Euclidean knobs, indicating which set of controls becomes more influential as you move the BLEND position.
- Velocity Tab: LEVEL knob now goes down to 0, allowing the channel to be fully muted equivalent of MIDI message 0x9n “Note On velocity=0”). Previously the minimum value was 1.
- Velocity Tab: Moved velocity LEVEL and RANDOM processing after LINEAR DRUMMING in the signal chain to match GU tab order; no change in behaviour.
- Settings Tab: A single MIDI Note selector (e.g., “36-C1”, “42-F#1”) replacing NOTE and OCTAVE columns – shows both MIDI number and note name for quicker selection and easier MIDI monitoring
- Settings Tab: Added 30+ MIDI Mappings for apps and hardware instruments.
- Settings Tab: MIDI Mappings menu now shows an asterisk “*” indicator when any MIDI note assignment is changed
- Settings Tab: Tapping a different folder while a submenu is open now switches to it in one tap instead of two.
- LED header text doesn’t change when switching between tabs and only changes when vou tap it.
- Standalone Mode: The app now opens in landscape on iphone for a better workflow
- Bug fixes:
- Presets and Settings Tab: Fixed user Preset and MIDI Mapping saving on macOs; alsc replaced native file dialog with in-app Save As dialog on all platforms.
- Settings Tab: Selecting a MIDI OUT device in the Settings tab now correctly picks the chosen device
- XY Pad animation: dots now wrap correctly on Euclidean pattern repeat and are evenly spaced with proper edge padding.
Augmatic GRE is an algorithmic drum-pattern generator – an app and AUv3 MIDI plugin for iPad & iPhone, and a an app for Mac.
6 Algorithmic Channels – Bass drum, snare, hi-hat plus accents which create complementary rhythms, not duplicates. Each channel can generate its own rythmic voice for rich, layered drum patterns
Grids Engine – Morphable, evolving beats based on the Mutable Instruments Eurorack module. Navigate an X/Y map of interconnected drum patterns extracted from actual drum loops with smooth interpolation between patterns
Euclidean Engine – generate evenly distributed world-inspired rhythm patterns using Euclidean algorithms. Configure steps, hits, and start position independently on each channel for precise control
Blend Control – Crossfade between Grids and Euclidean patterns to introduce variation while preserving the core character of vour groove.
Linear Drumming – Control which drums play together or play alone. Eeach sound has room to breathe Creates clean, articulate patterns. Used in Hip-Hop DM. Funk. Fusion.
Velocity Bender – Shape velocity dynamics for a more expressive. dynamic pulse. Create ghost notes. and rhythmic emphasis that bring patterns to life.
Groove Tools – Swing, humanization, clock division and timing shift. Fine-tune the feel of your patterns from tight and mechanical to loose and human,
IMPORTANT: This app does not produce sound on its own. It generates MIDI notes and requires a drum sampler or synthesizer to play them.
