Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Yeah this works brilliantly - the trick is to avoid lifting your finger. I cocked up once and dragged notes across the screen but getting the hang of it now.
Thanks, that works for me.
Apple pencil not supported for Arp operations.
double tap reset fails on reverb perimeters.
unreliable pick up at centre of x/y pads.
@VirSyn Is there a way to change bank via Midi? I can program change between the Lead Presets but once they get to the end they go back to the beginning. I can't access any Bass or Arp patches via program change. Thanks in advance for advice.
@SpookyZoo Yes you can. The Bank numbers are in the same order as in the preset window:
Bank 0 - Leads
Bank 1 - Bass
...
Bank 7 - Special FX
Just send this before program change.
Hi @Virsyn thanks for this, should have sent it via support really, sorry. But while you're here, how is this set up? Is it using LSB (0) & MSB (32)?
Thanks again.
@SpookyZoo It only uses Controller 0, Just send MIDI Controller 0 with the bank number as value and then send the Program change
Thanks @VirSyn .
Unfortunately my Midi Controller sends out Bank Change on 32 and Novation have said...
** "Unfortunately it is not possible to edit the mapping for the bank/page buttons on the x-station. " **
Maybe a job for Midiflow!
Hi
Is there separately midi out or midi channel for each of the 4 rhythm or arpeggiator track ?
Hi again.
I have a question or request for this perfect app .
Can we have more than 32 step or unlimited step and 8 track arpeggiator.and velocity ,pan ,pitchbend for each notes , and separate midi out for each track ,that we could create accompaniment styles as arrangements keyboard ,that we could send them ( tracks ) for example to cubasis app with different classical sounds . For example track 1 for bass guitar ,track 2 for piano chord ,track 3 for pan and ...with different rhythms of each track.
I was looking for app that could real time accompaniment our chords that we play on virtual keyboard,that I saw addective pro . That could be that same thing that i am looking for.but it has many limitations that I have said .specially number of steps and velocity of each note.
Very thanks.
anybody know the answer to this?
Cant see any settings for midi out. Maybe go with fugue machine if thats what your after.
wow, that's unfortunate. It's like panning for gold with these basic features
This doesn't appear to work. I've tried sending cc#0 with a fixed value between 0 and 7 but no luck. Any advice?
Love VirSyn arpeggiators but have never been able to get them to MIDI sync other apps. Glad to hear your adding Ableton Link support. Please add Link to all your apps. Addictive was one of my first apps and still a favorite!
Apparently, there was no second video.
:-(
I thought the same thing. But it's too much tweaking and no time to figure them out. I just play the presets and enjoy.
Regarding auto backing tracks yeah Groovebox seems to fit the bill but it's also rather limited at the Moment leaving you stuck in the famous 8 bar loop syndrome.
Midiband had so much promise as it could do exactly what your asking but no AB or Link, it's left as abandonware now
I still have and from time to time I have ideas, but then realize I'm going nowhere.
I'm holding my breath for Groovebox. If It ever gets smart interactive auto backing with chord recognition,!it would blow away keyboard arrangers costing thousands more.
