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.

That would be quite useful!
This is one of my iOS music dreams come true!!! I've been waiting for exactly this type of app to come along for EVER!!! Thank you for supporting the iPhone!!!!! This is a no brainer must-buy!!!
One question: Patch sharing. This will be an essential thing. Does it support patch sharing?
perfect! I hope Apple gets it processed quickly, because I have my finger on the buy button. thanks
IOS could also need an autosampler.....just saying
And this right here let’s me know this is a must have
For the creatives we’ve also integrated a special “Single Cycle Waveform” detector making the use of this special files a breeze.
Uhhh... sounds good. Bring on the videos!!!
Wait, Can Reslice record in via the signal chain? One of the things that has held me back from using reslice is the fact that I have to record something, then import it in order to slice it up. Am I missing something?
@david_2017 A user manual and some videos are planned, but they may take a couple of days to come up.
@Cib it's not completely automatic but it's damn near, maybe even better due to more control over the process.
Not int the signal chain yet only from input or via import , but now that we have it in AudioLayer this feature will trickle down to ReSlice as well...
Amazing. Thanks!
I see no way to avoid buying this day one
@Dawdles you can't crack the rules Apple makes...but maybe this is all good for us.
But there is no need to crack: There are two ways AudioLayer handles the instruments and samples
1. You are using the cloud ( this is the preferred method and will be automatically used if you're already there )
In this case it's like in good old days: complete access and control over your files in the Files App and everything is transparent in AUv3 too. Both use the same folders and you have access to files outside.
If you ever worked with it and how seamlessly projects flow through your devices ( and desktop !! ) you'll never go back !
@Dawdles i haven't followed discussions around Spacecraft, all i can say that AudioLayer AU / MusicEffect AU and stand alone app all use the same data, are in sync and have the same functionality.
Hopefully using iCloud will not cause the safari freezebug of death
I have not any issues with this in beta regarding slow speeds or issues.
Ironically iCloudDrive does NOT work so well as some folders are 'hidden' in the macOS Finder unless a 'parent app' is installed on the Mac. Meaning I would have to have a 'Mac Version' of AudioLayer installed in order to see it's folder under iCloud Drive...
I have plenty of apps with iCloud Drive enabled and yet I can not see their folders on my Mac (or the other iOS device unless the app is installed) but I can see them on the iPad. Compared to for example DropBox Apples iCloud Drive is 'broken & buggy', we'll see if iOS12 'fixes' some of these annoyances.
So yeah. I'll most likely be using 'local storage' on the iPad and accept these called 'duplicates' which according to APFS specs should just be 'pointers' to the originals anyway.(Meaning it 'looks' like the file takes double the space but in practice it's just one file accessed from multiple hard-links when a change to one of them is made a new file is created).
Then again I'm not interested in using multi-gigayte sample libraries with AudioLayer but instead practice some old-school sampling. The raw samples from my SY85 take roughly 4.5MB of storage after trimming as an example
Looking forward to playing around with AudioLayer!
wasn't this a thing of iOS 7 ?
i never ran into an issue.
@Samu can't tell for other Apps, but i ( and the beta testers ) could see the AudioLayer folders without problems on the Mac. It was a real help on testing that recordings are almost immediately accessible on the Mac :-)
I have been wanting this since the first week I bought an iPad and found Fiugure. And Cubasis. And then Animoog. And then Sunrizer and Gadget and Impaktor and....you get the picture.
Instabuy.
People - you’re coming up with bugs before we even get our hands on it! Let’s give it the fanfare it deserves and get this beauty launched first!
Goodie, will check once it's out on the AppStore...
If it works then if works, if it doesn't scr*w iCloud Drive, enter Local Storage
No, I am just careful after this initial encounter with quanta. And when he said it’s iCloud my red lights turn on. That’s all.
THIS!
I'm sitting here looking at my iCloud drive folder on both my iPad Air2 and MacBook Air and I see all folders in both places. For example on my Mac, I see my folders for KQ Dixie, LayR, Model 15, and GB iOS none of which are installed on the Mac so maybe something has changed since the last time you looked?
