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.

    It is fun, quite deep as well, once you find your way around it's UI.

  • I just tried the free version but couldn’t find the two oscilator synth that’s mentioned.

  • Love this app

    I never got the midi to quite do what I think it was supposed to.

    Great gritty bit industrial old school sound.

    Random options add for the surprises.

    Love to see an update and more midi clarification

    what does the midi do?

  • Link please

    There are a couple things that can be done with this one and AB...
    This is pretty cool:

    Because Zillidrone appears in the fx slot in AB, you can create sample folders like this by recording any of your AB (AUv3 or IAA) instruments

  • zillidrone performance

    what does the midi do?

    I remember it doing some things but not others.

    It would connect, but not completely for some things for me.

    I will try and let you know.

    Something just frustrated me sometimes.

    I will check.

    To me this is a similar but different app that mentally works for me like Stroke Machine.

    Non traditional .

    Niche sound.

    Well done.

    Just a couple little things away from being a true legend.

    But still amazing.

    What is this crazy thing? Cool, there is a free one so I can find out!

    Zillidrone Free by Andrey Savitsky
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zillidrone-free/id986015499?mt=8

    Huh, the paid version was only updated once, ever. That was 3 years ago.
    Is this one still able to rock?

  • Stable on my ipad pro 10.5

  • Oh yeah I think i remember that app from a long time ago. Can you import your own samples? Is it worth $20? or are there other apps that do it better?

  • @eross Stroke machine? Yes you can import your own sample. It's a powerful drum machine but people seemed to be put off by the UI in general fro what I remember. Plenty of sound shaping possibilities.

  • intresting. i might have to get that. wonder if it ever goes on sale

    @Littlewoodg can samples be edited in Stroke Machine?

    AFAIK. the only editing possible is pitch and sample start. Fun that Stroke Machine can modulate both of these in various ways (and several ways all at once), and there’s ring mod and 2 kinds of fm

    Also both oscillators can be loaded with either samples or onboard sine saw triangle pulse. SM is very long on modulations, and fx, and tons of brilliant features but not so strong on sample edition. It’s good to have a .wav editor app to compliment SM

    As a segue back to Zillidrone, it does have some sample edition: trims and gain boost

    excellent info. So would it be best to edit samples in audioshare then use them in zilidrone. also, can I send directly from audioshare to zilidrone? Or do i ya e to hook my ipad up to itunes and load them from a computer( aka, a pain in the ass) ;)?

    Yep-
    The demo video above is all about the other way- live recording in, with the extra of using AB to do so. The thing does a lot of the work for this workflow, it listens for onset then records up to one second, then numbers it and keeps going for as many pieces you want to make. Trim, adjust gain or delete after.

    I think before the update for sample folder making, I used to be able to bring single samples in, somehow, but i don’t recall how and I’m not finding it now - maybe given my overall dimness, maybe it’s gone now, maybe it was never there...I’ve done bulk loads in with iMazing, one of a few of the softwares for opening up files using your laptop/desktop.
