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.

Excuse my unknowledge about Beathawk 2.0, but, can't figure out what this "Choke Group" does...?
Anyone out there that could explain what it meant for?
Have searched for an explanation, but, can't find any decent explanation that make my head understand the function... :-(
Have tried it many times on my iPad in Beathawk 2.x, but I can't see anything happening when choosing this function...
Any thoughts?
Apologies if I just can't spot it, or have the wrong end of the stick. But how do I bring up that keyboard in BeatHawk?
Oh this is BeatHawk running as AUv3 plugin in GarageBand on iPad
It is mostly for hi hats, so that the closed HH chokes off the ringing open HH. If you search back to page 6 of this thread, I provide a detailed explanation on how to use it.
Ah yes, of course. I haven't tried that yet. Will do so now. Thanks for putting me straight.
Ok!
Thank's!
Basically, only one sample in the same choke group will play at the same time. You might not notice the effect if the samples you're playing aren't set to one-shot mode. A one shot mode sample will keep playing until it's finished even if the note is very short. So, if you had an open hi hat, followed shortly by a closed hat, you would want the open hat sample to stop playing when the closed hat is triggered. @Lady_App_titude's explanation is probably better, but there's my take.
Yeah! Thank's for both explanations, now I get it!
And, I must also say that I think that Beathawk 2.x is really awesome!
Korg Gadget and Auria Pro, forgive me, but my last days have been almost 100% Beathawk 2.x hallelujah moments!
So in love with this UVI jewelry! Many of the samplepacks that I bought on 50% off last week has so good quality that it tears my eyes ;-)
Hi, I would like to buy BeatHawk, but I don't understand if it can import midifiles... Regards
I don't see anyway to 'import' MIDI in BH2...
Will love to be proven wrong...
Your best bet is to use it as an AU in a proper sequencer, unfortunately.
Maybe we need to start a BH2.5 request thread...
buy beatmaker 3 to load it into, and then realize that there is no need to use beathawk in it
Does BeatHawk has a sound set or I need to use external apps?
It includes some basic sound packs, and offers many as in-app purchases. Scroll about halfway down
https://www.uvi.net/beathawk.html for everything you need to know.
Ops,I wanted to ask if BM3 has a soundset, not BH..
Yes it has some(one free pack and IAPs), and i think more is coming. But i suggest getting a ruismaker or/and ruismaker fm for drums, since at least the free pack doesent include drums. Or use your own samples(or other apps, ruismaker is just easy to make drums with and sample to bm3).
Pretty much the same answer. A very basic set of sounds to start with, lots of packs to purchase. The feedback I've read is pretty negative on the sound packs for BM3, and outstanding for BH2. Go figure.

BM3 is in a class of it's own as far as creating your own sound-sets goes, but you have to be into that kind of thing.
I bought mark two berlin, string machines and epic stacs and stabs and really dig them
At the end I bought BH2 because of its sounds and because it seemed to be easier to use. I also can access to a good soundset (even if mostly on IAP) that I can use inside Cubasis and Auria.
In the last year iOS made a quantum leap in music software. That's great.
Congrats on that!
But I have married Beathawk 2 with Beatmaker 3, and that's a pretty happy couple!
The IAP soundpacks in Beathawk is superior to Beatmakers, at least for now...
Which IAP do you suggest for Beathawk to start with?
Unless of course you want superior sounds to those in BM3
Don't get me wrong, i love BM3 but the sound packs in BH2 are some of the best around imho. Also, it's a joy to use on the iPhone
+1
Great matchup. Hopefully beathawk can see the light and introduce more awesome sound packs.
...
I guess you're not at liberty to talk b/c of a NDA & the like. But is it a brand new app or an update to an existing one?
Check the date of the post you're quoting
I'm fairly sure he was talking about BM3
>
No NDAs on BM3 that's for sure!
I love it for what it does and it will only improve over time no doubts about that.
For me it works very well for the intended purpose but I'm not 'all users' and thus can not represent every use-case scenario
Every IAP is really good and playable, but, why not start with:
Acoustic Drums
Funk
Disco (yeah!)
Brass Riff
Guitar Loops
I even bought Acoustic Grand (piano), and, this piano sounds really warm and gentle (great to have as an AUv3-instrument in many hosts)...
The sound quality is top notch on every soundpack, that’s for sure!
Good luck!
It depends on what kind of music you make. All I can say is the piano is by far the best I've tried on iOS, and the acoustic drum kit is very good.
I recently picked up BeatHawk and have been using it with Cubasis as a AU and been having a blast. I haven't opened gadget or BM3 in a little while now
The one odd thing to me was loading sounds/kits
You can't load a kit you have to,load individual samples to each pad it seems.
Like you can only load a demo song then a kit from there.
I would of thought the sound packs would have kits already mapped up you can just load.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Sounds are very good and usable
