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

Lol. I know it sounds like an anti IAA agenda... however I have been loading up a lot of my favourite non-AU apps and they are the only ones that have been causing me crashes. Or they just disappear from the matrix which is weird.
Cheers
It’s not seamless but it is a lot quicker than I thought. I doubt it’s possible for ApeMatrix to do it seamlessly, as some apps even cut sounds abruptly when you change their own app sounds without closing the app.
Ah-ha, lucky enough to get a code, so will fiddle about today, more tomorrow, and report back....from a slightly dozy, overheated dabbler’s POV. If I can work out how to use this, anyone can. Then, in a few days, expert reviewers may have their verdicts ready to roll.
nice that you can sub in different instruments without having to remap the MIDI.
So just double checking that IAA apps cannot have their parameters controlled by the ApeMatrix LFOs can they? That’s the whole point about AU automation isn’t it? I.e. load Axon 2 as AU and you can control all of the parameters. Load Axon 2 as IAA and you cannot.
Is that correct?
Lucky bugger! Be good to hear how you get on with it.
That is correct. Not apeMatrix's fault though, just iOS technology.
Unable to get the main transport to trigger Rozeta’s transports. It can trigger other transports, eg Axon, fine, so not sure what I am doing wrong?
Is Rozeta activated (is the power button on right side of grid red?).
Also, check your MIDI mapping so Rozeta is mapped to your plugin (dotted grid icon along the bottom).
Indeed. Poor old IAAs...
D'oh! This. Cheers.
Just had my first dabble with apeMatrix, and there is a learning curve, but nothing too fearsome. So far, anyway. Using the save session option worked really well to recall Blocs Wave as IAA and both Brambos AU3 effects apps. Much more to explore, but first impression is good. This one has a lot of potential.
EDIT -
Uh-oh, spoke too soon. Second time I tried to load saved session, app had forgotten Blocs Wave was there, and I also got some kind of nasty feedback. Cleared it by starting again. Hmmm. Looks like IAA needs a bit more polish.
First look.
Audiobus, AUM and Auria cannot get audio as receiver?
Can they?
More than one hardware out - is that possible? So I can implant external stuff.
🧐
Hi @scarbo - nice to see you here. Another amazing app you have developed here!
Some good news re Sunrizer:
Oohhhhhhh sooo good. Sunrizer was my first iOS synth love haha
Amazing to see it ina new AUv3 outfit
@gusgranite oh yes, one of my all time faves
What are you trying to do? Apematrix has 3 stereo outs, a main and the two mixbuses.
If that’s what you’re looking for...
Yeah I really would like more mix buses
>
As you seem to be very knowledgeable already, with this app, is there a way to instantly return volume to original setting once it has been dickered with?
Yeah I’d like a couple more too
Do you mean in the matrix mixers? I don’t think there is, which could be useful,
Other than that there is a master dynamics compressor bottom right of the gui which can reset to defaults.
>
Yes, in that first page. If double tapping on a red spot returned anything attached to it the original level, that would be very useful.
If I’m understanding, the master dynamics compressor returns all settings to default, which is not what I’d want to do.
Anyway, time for me to to pack up the toys for today, and enjoy a bit of sunshine.
Yes probably a good idea, and you can always take it out in the sun if you want

Not if I want to stay in Mrs Zen’s good books.
More apeMatrix tomorrow, all being well. Now, out the door!
Great app!, thanks to the developer for the work. I was expecting to have (for example) all Aum-inputs usable as outputports inside Apematrix, though. The same goes for Loopy, Auria, Audiobus. Since AB uses all of Aums ports, I hope it will be possible in the future, to not just route into effects, but also into „DAWs“. Maybe Loopy/Aum/AB/Auria nedd updates to allow this...?
You described it better.
Additional: I didn‘t find a was to route different outs to different physical outs.
Remember MiMix app ( pre AB3 , AUM ) ? It used to be great AB2 addon providing a mixer.
It can be used to connect AB3 to apeMatrix
Yeah you have to use something like AUM or AB3 to route the outs to different hardware outputs currently
Where is MIDI Transpose? Can I apply it to any MIDI input in the patchbay?
The app description and user guide list MIDI Transpose (sic in the user guide) as one of several MIDI filtering options, but I can't find it in the UI. It would save me having to route through Rozeta Scaler...
Cool app!
