@@Algonaut Good to know - I look forward to finding out what will be added!

@@macronencer Hi yeah apologies for the delayed response. I've covered it in the other responses but it's more a limitation than a bug and I'm looking to remove the limitation in an upcoming update. (maybe not the next update but the one after)
If you're watching this and you're on the fence about it. Don't be. It really is the best. I got it after XO and it's 10x better than XO for work flow. It's a real secret weapon and the team are responsive/looking for ways to improve it too. Such a bargain.
Wow thanks for the kinds words. And yes we're always working on improvements (there's a great update in dev at the moment) and love to hear feedback. Our Founder/Lead Dev Matt answers all the feedback emails so you know everything gets considered.
I just started making a song with XO today, loving it so far, but I’m buying Atlas 2 tomorrow. I see no harm in having both, they’ve got their differences/strengths. What’s really exciting is the company seems quite interested in improving Atlas and listening to its users. I’m looking forward to making music with this as well! 🎶🎹
You're welcome! Glad you're enjoying it. And Algonaut is basically just me (real Indie company styles) so consider the message heard and much appreciated. 🖤😊 Plenty more very cool stuff being cooked up here too, stay tuned! Matt (Founder/Dev)
Fenomenal plug-in... that just keeps growing beautifully with each update. Only thing i'm missing (maybe besides built in fx, softclip, overdrive, delay, reverb per step) is PROBABILITY per step, for infinite variations and loops that never repeat exaktly the same. Thanks for this great drum-machine 💚
I agree probability would be really awesome (and the rest of your list too 😉). I’m working out a nice way to put it into the sequencer so keep an eye out for it in another update.

I have atlas2. It's amazing for sample organising/randomising and pretty good for making initial beats but I don't find myself using it that much because it only stores a single sequence/pattern. When I'm working on a song with defined parts (verse, chorus etc), having to export a single pattern each time doesn't really fit my workflow (sometimes you need to tweak previous patterns to fit with your current one). I'd love to see the ability to store say 8 patterns (and ideally selectable via midi). What would also be great is if you (@Algonaut) added some AI around pattern selection from the browser - a "find similar" or the ability to punch in a basic kick+snare pattern (as per EZdrum) as the basis for a search. [Please and thank you]
Agreed. Multiple sequences is something I'm working on, and definitely selectable via MIDI. Cheers for the feedback, it's always appreciated. :) Matt (dev)
Great software. The possibility to swap kits, samples and sequences/lanes independently really is a workflow booster. Things I miss though: - with 8x8 pads the ability to sequence 64 lanes, not just 16 ; - enable lock/swap with 8x8 pads ; - multiple slots to hold different sequences - a search filter would be great to show only samples with certain names in the map. - Maybe for the far future include loops/slicing?
Great suggestions! Happy to say most are on the roadmap or wishlist already. You can lock/swap in 8x8 pad mode, it’s just the controls are up on the Sample panel because of space constraints. I’ll look at making it a bit easier though.
Great, I'm gonna buy this now! Would be great to have a little more control over the sequence generating. Like a amount or sensitivity slider on "variation"... and some changable parameters on selected note triggers such as tune/pitch and probability percentage
Nice! Adjusting the variation amount is definitely on the list. There's kinda already that value in code, I just need to hook it up. The other sequencer features are on the todo list too. You can kinda hack the pitch changes in there already with the new Atlas 2.3 "Velocity -> Mod" system. Check out the Atlas 2.3 release video here: ruclips.net/video/F8Er9V0Islo/видео.html
Keyboard shortcuts are a bit hard in a plugin because some DAWs try to steal them (it gets complicated!). I am working on it though and the next feature update should have a few more for key functions.
@@AlainKaczmarek You can change the Step Size (note division) at the bottom of the Sequencer panel. If your looking for a way to paint in a single note but have it actually be 4 smaller ones you can't do that in Atlas yet but I'm considering adding a quick way to do this. Step Size is still pretty quick for this though and gives you extra control so you can easily ramp the volume of hits etc.
How can i see more than 4x4 pads in sequencer view / mode? Im using launchpad with 64 pads so i would enjoy to sequence more than 16 pads sometimes. Great plug-in btw!
The sequencer can't do more than 16 channels at the moment but I'll be expanding this in an upcoming update. (not 2.5 as that's pretty much ready now but the one after) Glad you're enjoying Atlas, just hit us up anytime with feedback, it's all appreciated. :) Matt - Founder/Lead Dev
Does Atlas not have a way to do "repeat" per step to do ratcheting? I was surprised to not see that as an option. I guess you could just change the specific lane to be 32 steps and manually add them. I can't imagine needing faster ratcheting than 32 steps.
Yeah that's the way for now, adjust the step size and add them in. This also lets you fine tune the velocity too. A few people have asked for a faster way to do this though so I'll look at adding that. (it is pretty quick to change the step-size and drag the mouse though!) I thought no one would need faster than 32nd notes either but quite a few people messaged and asked for it. I've just released Atlas 2.5 officially which has 64th steps and 64th triplet steps. Matt - Dev
i just got atlas and its amazingly answers my main problem at producing! thank yot guys! btw, if im playing finger druming and record it, does it quantize to the grid?
Nice to hear you're enjoying it. :) Yes when recording MIDI into the Atlas Sequencer it does quantize to the grid. Off-grid recording and editing is coming too though.
The sequencer took Atlas to another level. Is there midi out at all? I really would love to trigger external synth sounds with that poly rhythmic sequencer. Is there a way to store sequences? Can it be done by putting the exported midi files into a folder and accessing from the browser?
Yes, in the Settings menu you can enable MIDI out to drive other drum machines or external gear. You can store sequences by hitting the Save button (top-right of Atlas) and selecting the Sequence icon at the top of the save panel. That will store it in your Browser as an Atlas Sequence file. (which has extra data like what kind of drum each channel is, polyrhythm, nudge etc). You can export to MIDI with the Export button (top-right of Sequencer) and load MIDI by drag dropping onto the Sequencer.
Not at the moment but I'm going to try to squeeze a few of these sorts of things into the next free update. People are also asking for 64th note step size and half/double time tempo, all good requests. Matt (Founder/Lead Dev)
Can't figure out how do I loop a 12 bar loop, and not 16 or 8? Can anyone help? I tried dragging all of the tracks to 12 in length with the polyrhythm slider, but obviously that didn't work :)
We're looking at adding better support for time signatures. To be honest I wasn't sure how many people would want that but a few people have requested it. I'm all for this sort of stuff so I'll see what I can do.
I'm trying to drag a sample to Live and I see the icon being dragged but cannot drop it anywhere. I was hoping to see how you do it because I'm at a lost.
This can happen if the sample is embedded in a Loop or Drum Kit file. The upcoming feature update, Atlas 2.1, has a fix for this and a few other handy/cool features.
@@Algonaut ok great. BTW, you guys did an amazing job with this sequencer! The level of features is so impressive it feels like it should be part of Ableton! I'm still mindblown about how I get ideas started in no time. I will for sure be using it in my next tutorials and recommend to my students. Seriously the plugin of the year for me so far. Nothing even comes close to it.
@@Algonaut I usually find missing features in every plugins but can’t find one on yours. I just noticed the polyphonic midi export seems to come out weird on my end but I can understand the complexity. Keep up the great work!
6:42 I tried the polymeter thing on the demo version, and I'm finding that it doesn't always behave as expected. I made a 15-step channel when all the others were 16 steps. Instead of taking a full 16 cycles to come back in sync, it appear to sync up to step 1 again after only FOUR cycles. This seems like a bug, and I've sent a support request but haven't heard back yet. Anyone else had this problem?
Hi, pretty sure we talked via email but just in case (and for anyone else reading). The polyrhythm in Atlas has a 'reset length' of 16 beats (4 bars). Once this length is hit all Sequence Channel playheads reset back to 0. This is great for some genres like Techno but I realise it's not really what you want for full on Prog or Ambient styles. I'm going to add a control on the UI for the 'Polyrhythm Reset Length' and make it able to be turned off completely. The hard work isn't really in that, it's in making sure all the MIDI export still works nicely etc. Cheers for the feedback, it's nice to know people want to do more experimental stuff with polyrhythms/polymeters. Matt (Founder/Lead Dev)
@@Algonaut Many thanks, Matt! Yes, it was me on the emails. I'm impressed with the way you communicate and listen to customers and I appreciate the hard work you're putting into this product. I am going to buy Atlas very soon, and I look forward to the forthcoming improvements!
Not at the moment but I'm working on an update with new Sequencer features and this is on the list. (I'm really keen on using this too) Matt - Founder/Lead Dev
Hello, how to see an overview and make use of custom Midi files, other than drag&dropping them into the sequencer from the windows explorer? I have a HUGE Midi File library from EZdrummer, which i want to see in the Atlas Browser. Is that possible?? When i put midi files into the Algonaut Content USER folder, nothing shows up in the browser!
We're looking at adding some Advanced Import features to handle all this. It's a bit tricky because quite a few Drum apps have slightly different ideas about which MIDI notes do what. I'm definitely keen to get all of them working with Atlas though, I agree it would be very cool.
@@Algonaut hello, after writing my comment , i realized exactly what you said: they use WEIRD notes to trigger the drums. Maybe they want to keep people from using it on other software than EZdrummer, i dont know. But i ll forget about those EZdrummer midi files for now, not worth it! So my feature request only counts for "normal" midi files now, which use a typical "Ableton drumrack"/"NI Battery" note-scale! :D I guess you have more important stuff on the list though, it's not that important
@@sternenherz Ha yeah, everyone uses slightly different notes. That's ok, I working on creating a layer that can map from one MIDI setup to another, and I'll make it so people can contribute/share mappings too so we should be able to cover everything. I'm really keen for people to be able to use all their MIDI in Atlas.
There's probably a simple solution for this, but for some sequences ive exported, it will export just the one loop that i can duplicate and put anywhere in the song, and then sometimes it will still look like it did that same thing, but the loop will endlessly play with every part of the song i play. How do i turn this off so its just one instance of the loop that i can place anywhere, and only have its audio play in the spot i want instead of looping forever?
You can change the size of the grid and add faster notes in. The Atlas sequencer lets you mix and match different note sizes. This way you have complete control over the velocity of each note in the roll too. The Atlas 2.5 update coming this week has a few more options for grid sizes too. (smaller grids for fast rolls, including triplets etc)
@@SoundPeaks Yeah I've heard a few people say they didn't expect to be able to mix and match the grid size, I'm glad you asked. I'm working on a bigger update that should make that all a bit more obvious too.
Hi, this is great. I have problem with usig Asio driver, it’s not present in audio options. Only windows wdm. Unplayable in standalone due to heavy latency. Any fix for that?
Not yet but this is really high up the list for an update. Right now Atlas will import MIDI with any note timings though, it won't force notes to quantize to the grid like most other step sequencers. Just drag-drop a MIDI file on the sequencer to import.
Question: the manual states that “Recorded notes will be quantized to the current Step Size”, but for imported midi in the sequencer features section on the website it says “Original timing is preserved”. I would like to record midi unquantized into the sequencer. Could this be possible and how would the sequencer represent notes that are not aligned exactly to the grid? 🙏
At the moment there's no way to record unquantized mostly just because there's no way to cleanup any playing mistakes right now. When you import MIDI with off-grid notes they appear off grid similar to a Piano Roll in a DAW. Kind of like when you mix and match step sizes already. (2:50 in the video) Unquantized record and off-grid is in the works though!
Just upgraded today, what happened to the midi collection folder? Also dragging and dropping midi onto the sequence section does not show the midi on the sequence section
Things have changed a bit with Atlas Sequences being the new way of working. They store the categories of each drum in them and other data which makes mixing and matching sequences easy. You should be able to drag drop MIDI straight onto the Sequencer. Email us at info@algonaut.tech for more tech support, happy to help.
Really nice to discover that you have individual nudge control on each instrument. That feature is GOLDEN.
Way more like this on the way too. I've been working on some more nice Sequencer features.

When you import MIDI with off-grid notes they appear off grid similar to a Piano Roll in a DAW. Kind of like when you mix and match step sizes already. (2:50 in the video) Unquantized record and off-grid is in the works though!
@@Algonaut thanks for the response - it’s great to hear that you’re working on it!
Is it possible to make trap hihat rolls somehow? And is it possible to change pitch like you changed velocity ?
You can automate the Pitch of a sample in your DAW. Pitch automation is definitely coming to the sequencer too.
Just upgraded today, what happened to the midi collection folder?
Also dragging and dropping midi onto the sequence section does not show the midi on the sequence section
Things have changed a bit with Atlas Sequences being the new way of working. They store the categories of each drum in them and other data which makes mixing and matching sequences easy. You should be able to drag drop MIDI straight onto the Sequencer. Email us at info@algonaut.tech for more tech support, happy to help.
the automatic text in Spanish disturbs a lot, I can not see through walls, useless!
this is lame sorry. trying on "AI" bs
