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.

Yep, things a beauty but some of the time I wish to have some illusion of control over the uncontrollable madness. Seems to play a continuous low note at times when I'm not doing anything and I wish it wouldn't.
Overall though, pretty happy to have this. Money well spent. Did you get either of the mastering tools, Maxima or Grand Finale?

Great, we get that now. I thought it would be an IAP.
It's a common feature of many great music apps
Loving this. Awesome work Erik!
Here's a take of AUM with three instances of Tardigrain, with Phosphor thru EOS for the lead and Klvg. Grand Finale
So happy to see erik sigth back
Nah, I don't bother with mastering, as you can probably tell.
Haven't heard the low note you mention, but I'll listen out next time. Agree it's all a bit uncontrollable though - I was quite surprised and a bit put off at first, as I thought it'd be capable of more 'straight' sample playing, but I like the weird stuff it does, and hopefully I'll get the hang of it eventually.
Can I take this as a recommendation then @MonzoPro, being aware that it may have issues in BM3, is it worth using standalone for samples to import in ?
Ah, that's a tricky one. If you're after a nice, clean, easy to use sampler then I'd say maybe not. The controls are buggy, and some of them have me competely stumped. But, it's capable of very beautiful stuff (particularly using the chord buttons on the left), and very, very weird mangling.
For me it's a great addition to the toolbox. But I'm a freak. I like noises. Proper musicians might get frustrated...but then again it's only a fiver, and you could probably get your moneys worth with an hour's mucking about and chuckling.
Im so tempted, but know there’s so many apps coming soon. I’m only worried however great that I will dabble and then just not use it much like many of the great Apesoft etc apps I have. Maybe I’m better getting that penny whistle thing lol.....o so much choice!
Yeah I know your right. I just have a feeling there is some big money spend apps coming up lol (well big for us modest income blokes). Thanks for your thoughts though.
I've been running whole tracks through Izotope's Trash 2 on the desktop lately, so I get what you mean about mastering but it's fun just to see these tools as another way of mangling the output. Most tools can be perverted into something more interesting.
Is there? What's coming up?
My main money worry at the moment (aside needing a new roof and not having an income) is my Air2, it's getting ridiculously hot and doing lots of weird stuff...I fear it's not much longer for this world.
That annoys me too, since it's best use is as an AU. Hopefully they can fix this and the other niggles, but even if they don't, for a fiver I'm happy with it.
Does it come loaded with much variety as standard?
I guess with my stuff, mastering might be akin to polishing a turd, so I tend to just dump it directly into the Soundclouds. I see what you mean with the sound shaping, but I try and avoid fiddling with tracks too much as the pleasure for me is making the noises. At some point though I'm going to create soundscapes to go along with my artwork, and those will have my name on them so at that point I'll have to pay a bit more attention to mastering and quality control. Probably.
I gave in. First patch mess about - instant Japan Ghosts lol
Sampled some into BM3 and added Discord4 for some weird haunting stuff
Now got Rozeta Particles playing it randomly in the background while having a vape lol
It's great for that, I put it through Discord4 as well, which is becoming a bit of a favourite.
Bought early this evening. Fun app, but I feel like I am just wandering around in the dark. Help button says to go to humbletune to get more info, but I can’t find any mention of the app on that website. Any place where I can find a manual so I can figure out what I am doing?
A fiver? It's a whole sevener in my country of Canada!
Update out
Is there a way to get the standalone user presets to the AU? Just updated, but I don't see the option.
This is very good. A good week after a silent 2018 so far with this, Grand Finale, and Discord 4. Finally my Christmas credit is gone. Now where’s that brambos delay?
This thing sounds massive. Steal for $5, as are all of his apps.
I can’t see how, either.
