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.

Download on the App Store

Audiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

Ever wanted to be as cool as Bram Bos? Well, that's out of reach for most of us. But, you can follow along with this 3-part "getting started" tutorial on making an AUv3 MIDI Extension...

    I am deeply impressed.
    Thanks for this ...

    Somewhere, i read that it may be possible to develop on Windows too ...

    If so, it's likely more trouble than it's worth. If you want to develop for Apple platforms you do it on Apple's dev tools, unless you're into extreme masochism. It's hard enough as it is... ;)

    More concret, i meant Xamarine mentioned on the above side:

    As I said, more trouble than it’s worth. Just get a second hand old Macbook Air for peanuts. That’s what I used for all my apps until recently. You don’t need the highest spec system to get into developing audio apps, but I recommend not having to h4x0rz your devtools before getting any real work done ;)

    I don't know much about xamarin (so take this with 20 grains of salt please) but those "write once, deploy anywhere" sorts of solutions don't generally provide access to the sort of APIs you'd need for something like auv3.

    Those remote options in the first article seem like a reasonable place to start though if you just wanted to give this a go without investing a whole lot. I wonder if they're smart enough to allow you to loop back to your own machine for on device testing.

    This is a warning for developers out there: if you don’t make a physics-based AU MIDI, a’la Physynth (see video below, iPad on the left), I will make one. And I will put it on the App Store for free.

    Consider yourselves warned, so start working on it... I will buy it day one B)

  • tjatja

    @rrc2soft That´s good enough for me :) :) :)

    But you should start making money with your apps!

    You can make money with apps?! 🤔

    I’ve been doing it wrong! 😂

    Isn't the well-documented, easy-peasy Apple ecosystem a dream for any developer?
    No, seriously, I feel for you. And for all developers that have to go through the little nightmares of core audio, core midi, IAA, AUv3, appropriate thread priorisation, iOS changes and whatever surprises ;)
