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.

I cant get over how much some used gear costs in usa. Here nord modulars typical asking price is 250€ and they dont seem to sell that fast even for that price..
Thanks! I'm using a Specular Tempus, a hidden gem of a reverb.
It does not have a sequencer, but you can program a custom arpeggiator that can almost be like a sequencer. The arp works as external MIDI if you get the newer firmware from I guess 2-3 years ago at this point.
The BS2 is the most analog synth Novation has, but it’s still DCO (turn it on and it’s in tune!) and it’s not fully analog because you can use MIDI for just about every parameter. All the components are analog but then there is a digital control board for it. Since most parameters are 8 bit MIDI at 256 values you get much less stepping than the typical 7 bit MIDI at 128 values. It’s a pretty smooth filter sweep.
Hi, I’m looking for a multi fx box that can do similar stuff like the punch-in fx on a pocket operator (tape stop, filter sweep, stutter etc.). I’d like to effect my digitakt when I’m live recording it.
Analog where it counts.
The signal path is pure analog – including the effects section. The hardware has been laid out in modules with dedicated pots, switches, sliders and buttons for all major parameters. Critically, you can store and recall patches on Bass Station II. It comes with 64 killer factory presets, space for 64 of your own sounds on the hardware, and you can store more on your computer.
Sequencer?
Arpeggiator and step sequencer: Bass Station II’s Arpeggiator and Step Sequencer are killer performance and production tools. The Arp can be directed to run through 32 different rhythmic patterns in different directions with a switchable octave range. The fun really starts when you engage the Step Sequencer. Up to four sequences can be played in – with legato and rests – and assigned to any one of the 32 rhythmic patterns. As well as getting ideas down quickly and programming performance sequences, this is a brilliant way to preview patches while you are editing them.
Great thread is great.
Actually the 0-coast integrates flawlessly into eurorack. It uses the exact same voltages etc as the other make noise modules. People have even modified and rack mounted the 0-coast.
The Nord modular is available as a free download.
BS2 or O-Coast or Micron/Miniak or Korg Z1.....
Got me thinking of getting a 0-coast to pair with my circuit now.
Actually your best bet might be rather something like Effectrix for your iPad from Sugarbytes:
At least that's the way I like to use it when Digitakt sample mangling is not enough
Thanks for the video! It gave me a good laugh really
What this guy describes is in no way different from granular synthesis.
I could even do that with my Digitakt easily!
Maybe a Korg Monotron Delay unit with say a Microbrute? Then you will still have enough money for another piece of gear. If you don't have a mixer you maybe could buy one like that Soundcraft Notepad 12FX for example. With a little searching I guess that might still be between $350 and $500.
Used Bass Station II and Behringer FCB1010 with a pair of Yamaha Bluetooth midi adapters and the FCBBFF editor app should be possible for that price.
Everything I'd want I'd rather just save for and convince myself it's ok to buy it despite not being a professional (aka making money off it anymore), or just not have it at all. I've never been satisfied with the price-reasonable stop-gaps (looking at you, Minilogue). Even getting 3-4 guitar effects pedals seems like a bad hill to start tumbling down, because then I'd just want more.
Sorry to be a bummer. It's just money is an issue for me and I'd rather have something top-tier than stuff that just reminds me I still want the higher-end stuff.
You mean the stuff you really would want to buy deep in your heart? For me that would be the Dominion 1 by MFB, mfberlin.de/en/device/mfb-dominion1_en/ and for example the Shuttle by Endorphin, https://endorphin.es/endorphin.es--shuttle.html or maybe a cheaper alternative like the Modulör114 by Sound Machines sound-machines.it/product/modulor114/
But those are all way above that price range.
I thought Dominion Club sounded pretty good. $470 US shipped.

Dave Smith OB-6 for me
there's a lot more to the Asr10 than that, and picking one up for between 300-500 is a great opportunity one would not regret
Same here.
And a used Sequential Circuits Pro-1. And a Toft mixer. And a SquarP Pyramid and/or a Cirklon. And pretty much every single product put out by Strymon and Dreadbox. And...
Not sure if this counts but I bought a b-stock kala solid mahogany fretless UBASS for 350 euro!
People sure do love to talk about buying shit!
Already have a 1973 Precision
And a a 1970 Strat with a custom black cherry neck at storage at my folks place.
Along with a whole Peavey PA system.
So actual "instruments" proper I am good to go.
I have my acoustic Ibanez with me these days but rest is "machine making music".....LOL
We are talking Birthday gift not from Santa Claus......
Different CV range on M32 (-5 to +5) compared to Eurorack (0+10), so you need a pitch attenuater for M32 to play in tune with standard eurorack. See Erica synths dedicated module for this for ex. But for the o'Coast, I stand corrected.
The G2 demo only has one voice and one slot, you can't save patches (AFAIR) and midi modules are disabled. It "replicates" the G2 sound on your PC, and thus is not the same as the synth.
people like to talk period.
I've been listening to it more than once but didn't like the sound as much as with the Dominion 1. Might be because it had 2 VCO's and that digital wave shaper.
Besides those MFB synths I was impressed with the sounds of the Vermona '14 synth, https://vermona.com/en/products/synthesizer/product/14-analogsynthesizer/ as well as The River synth by a small French builder, Baloran: https://en.audiofanzine.com/analog-synth/baloran/the-river/editorial/reviews/when-the-analog-flows-in-the-stream.html
There are so many nice synths these days. I'm not that poor but you can get poor when you don't refrain from buying everything you like!
People sure like to talk about periods!
