Playbeat4 - Updates

i’m using windows 11 OS. but it only happens in FL studio and Bitwig studio. it doesn’t have the issuse when i’m just using the sequencer to sequence other drum machines just when i’m using Playbeat 3 to sequence samples within the program

Hi @Audiomodern . How close are we to Playbeat 4 being released. I didn’t want to ask, was waiting patiently for some updated news!

Just don’t wait for the news and don’t rely on any deadlines or approximations. That’s it, and you really shouldn’t. I was waiting for a year straight until the first PB4 video.

The only thing we’re missing is our tutorial video, which we’re currently working on, and we’re almost ready.

Nice, so that would be by the end of this week :wink:

looking forward to it.

Are you planning on still providing Playbeat as a MIDI FX insert for the AU version?

Okay, I was joking… but it looks like I’m not the funniest one here. If your product was ready for prime time, then it’s hard to believe an instruction video is delaying T2M.

I’ve been through the pain of expecting an app and then watching the ETA disappear into the rearview mirror many times. Now, I just focus on the things that I have in hand, and consider it a nice surprise when something new and promised shows up. Maybe not the best strategy but it works for me. Stuff happens.

We are currently waiting for Apple’s approval of the latest version, as we want to release both the Desktop and iOS versions simultaneously.

Thanks for the update.

Great, just read in a german music production magazine about it and needed to check here. :smiley:

Glad, it is also PC, screenshot shocked me shortly, could not care less about mobile apps.

Good luck

B O O M - It’s looking Gooooooooood

Still cannot export midi in Reason 12.
Midi is the same in Reason as PB3 where their default instrument ID8 device pops up to contain the midi notes which are pitched based. I expect the notes to export to General Drum from C1 and up. All MIDI export defaults to ID8 and cannot load into Playbeat’s Sequencer lane.
Single MIDI export does load into Playbeat’s sequencer lane and also loads up the ID8. Both exports are pitch based and don’t fall in to the GM Drum position from C1 and up unless the instruments pitch has been set in that area

Scrolling problem in Audio Editor : scrolling Fade in and Fade Out should have a vertical response, not horizontal. There are no left and right arrows or bar to do this and is unintuitive, feels weird.
Thank You

It works AWFUL for me. Locking MIDI output still doesn’t work with any randomisation, FL studio crashes when trying to load a saved .fst plugin instance after any change with AI. And projects saved after AI is activated are crashing FL too. Remixes clears itself after closing and reopening plugin instance. Unfortunately, it makes me angry that some basic things for MIDI generation (which is a paid feature only) still don’t work properly. This is after asking for beta access and waiting for over a year. AM, maybe you should be more open to a community, because this feels very disappointing and shady. Anyway, congratulations on the release.

Please, investigate mac M1 usecase with FL studio and fix bugs ASAP.

Automation with Filter Frequency has unusually quick response then slows down. For example a 0 to 20 measure (goes to 127) = 50% Filter Freq then the speed or response of F Freq slows down to some sort of ratio that meets 127 on my knob gauge in Reason. Filter Resonance is all good

Hi, version 4.0.1 is now available on the site. If you’re using the iPad version, please update it as soon as it becomes available on the App Store.

Thank you! It didn’t fix locking MIDI output when switching presets and my FL studio projects are still crashing after activating AI, saving and reopening. Remixes clears itself too. So please pay attention to this.

Apologies for this! Version 4.0.2 is already available which fixes this. Regarding remixes, there was an issue when reloading the state from the DAW, but they are correctly recalled when reloading the preset. Expect a 4.0.3 update by tomorrow.
