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.

    Agree. Missing AU, Abelton LINK and Audiobus. Probably the devs are not tatally aware what music making on iOS means. Hope they somehow discover this forum :)

    thanks for the heads up!

    think the lack of that other stuff was intentional

    Original CR-8000 had sync in/out at least ;)

    Even if Some form of audio connectivity was in the works I’d dive in.

    It looks pretty....

    Or the guy was pretty much done with his one-to-one homage to the classic machine when he learned about Audiobus etc. and decided to spin it as an aesthetic decision.

    This CR-8000 video may give you some idea on how you will have to program this app.

    My first drum machine was a DR-55. Similar way of entering a pattern. It's pretty quick once you get used to it. Helped me learn to count. Also came up with some amazing happy accidents. Too bad this app doesn't connect to the rest of the world. Maybe there's hope.

  • palmpalm

    what a shame. it's really one of my favorite sounding rhythm boxes out there. I'm not a huge fan of retaining clumsy programming features for the sake of "authenticity". It had those limitations because of the hardware limitations.. so it's pretty silly to replicate them.

    without connectivity, this is a pretty useless thing.. looks like a lot of work for something few people who actually make music on ios will use. :|

  • anicktanickt

    Don’t see any way to contact the dev either. I would’ve bought this if it had any connectivity but what’s the point?

    I share the same opinion. At the very least IAA support would be good. Even then, no AuV3 or promise of it, I pass these days.

    1) I wonder if Roland is waiting in the shadows to pull a ReBirth on this one.
    2) It honestly looks great (and I'm a sucker for a good interface) but the lack of connectivity hurts this. Getting CR samples easily and loading them into you fav drum app renders this two clicks from obsolete. Just last week I made Ableton's CR78 samples into a BM3 kit.

    Hi folks, you have been heard, CR-8k is now Audiobus compliant ! Inter-App audio is enabled too.

    Now I am looking forward for Audio Unit and Ableton Link.
    In your opinion, does it worth it ? Which one first ?

    For Ableton Link, I would need help so if ever an expert feels like answering a couple of questions, please just tell me.

  • WhiteWhite

    I would buy it if it was auv3 😊

    same for me

  • DavidRochaixDavidRochaix

    I plan to make it support AU v3 in a future update. Keep in touch!
