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.

MIDI commands for switching between apps

Hi,

I'm a guitar player & plan on using different audio apps to feed signal into Loopy HD.
For my guitar setup, I have a MIDI pedal that switches between sounds. Would it be possible to use MIDI within Audiobus to switch between apps? I need both hands to play my instrument. Some apps offer graphical representations of what they're doing. I could f.e. activate a tuner and jump to the app that runs the tuner by sending a string of MIDI commands, then back to the looper with another set of commands.

Is that possible already - without using the touch screen to jump between apps? If not - how do I place a feature request?

Thanks,

M.

  • Yep. Check out MIDI Bridge. MIDI command based app switching doesn't work with all apps but it does work with quite a few.

  • Yeah, this would be awesome. I just worry the setup of all the routing will be a nightmare...

  • Actually MidiBridge makes the routing easier - you can see it.

  • Yep, plus you can set it up to listen on say midi channel 14 for these changes to minimize the chance that you'll mistakenly interfere with other stuff.

  • Just beware that all the Apps you switch to are going to stay loaded when you switch away from them.
