The MIDI part of the app is very interesting too, we did not tried it yet, but it will open some amazing possibilities, also for NLE’s like sending MIDI messages to your AudioInterface. Besides you will win some time in which can be very handy, the app will look incredible cool in your setup. We gained a lot of time just by using the “Volume Up and Down” function to change our levels thru the whole edit in once… and more easy and precise than when using a mouse or trackpad.
Metagrid is besides a very nice companion for your Audio / Video production software also a tool that can speedup your job and workflow extremely.
The forthcoming update 1.5 will be very interesting so stay tuned. If we have any updates from MetaGrid we will update this blog-post. We want to thank Przemek for the answers and also a little look in the future of MetaGrid. 2- An iMac 5K from 2016 with Final Cut Pro X version 10.3.4 1- A MacBook Pro from 2014 with Final Cut Pro X version 10.3.3 We performed our tests on 2 different Apple computers: Currently, it contains only Action Grid (buttons) but we want to add various other modules - look at and see our products for Liine Lemur - we want to port most of our ideas and concepts to Metagrid for iOS. Przemek: We have some great plans for Metagrid being a central workflow hub for various workflow-enhancement modules. Will it be possible in the future to also add those in Metagrid? Przemek: Yes, v1.5 will include very powerful customisable faders.īB: In DAW’s and NLE’s we use a lot of plugins. But what would be even more awesome is if we have a fader type of function within Metagrid… is this a possible function for the future? The buttons for volume up en down are already awesome compared to doing the same thing with a mouse or trackpad. For us some functionality within the NLE, but this also counts for other programs, is that you cannot be so precise with a mouse or Trackpad. Przemek: Yes, v1.5 will include import/export functionality and we will add more viewsets for various apps.īB: At BroadcastBrazil we work mostly with FCPX. But we were still curious if more templates wil be involved in version 1,5 or future versions? Like Motion, iMovie, Garageband, Wirecast etc. It is for us the Core functionality that makes it more than just some buttons for use in an app. The next iteration will come till the end of this year - so currently Metagrid stays as is.īB: We like making our own templates in the App… it is just a very nice option of the app.
Przemek: Yes, we plan a significant v1.5 update - originally we planned it till the end of September but we have decided to move it a bit due to some development reasons. Our question is this… it is November, when will it be released? and it is fun too!īB: We read on the Metagrid facebookpage that version 1.5 will be released soon ( the end of september ). In the app you can find some presets, but it is very easy to make them yourself…. It will also function on Adobe Premiere, AVID, Davinci resolve, After effects among others. Metasystem has already very nice videos about Metagrid online for these audio programs we just made a short video in how you can use this for example in your NLE or animation software. It is obvious the app's basic idea was to be used for the audio-world DAW’s like Pro-Tools, Cubase, Logic and more. Metaserver connects de app to your computer, it uses WIFI, LAN or an USB cable.
From the Metasystem website you have to download Metaserver for Windows or Mac. To get it all to work you first have to download the iOS app from the iTunes store. There are some other similar apps available like Keymand, but we will show you why we like MetaGrid so much. This app is like a close companion for your DAW, your NLE or any other application on you computer. This time we review an iOS application MetaGrid from developer Metassytem.
