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.
Stagelight features request - POLL added!!
Here are some of the StageLight requests I already mostly made to Openlabs team, feel free to add yours, this can make things easier for them to have everything in one thread:
- Link
- AU midi
- IAA and Audiobus in/out/midi
- Recording midi though AU instruments interfaces like iFretless bass, Roli Noise apps...
- advanced non destructive audio edition with snap to grid selection, reverse etc for cool and creative audio mangling
- slicing with transient detection, ADSR, levels, pans, reverse, etc... pads playing (and also export to drum pattern)
- copy paste of automation portions with snap to grid selection
- clips/parts with individual audio levels
- tools/navigation improvements in timeline view for making arrangements.
- AU graphics icons and search function for external plugins
- recording of real-time midi CC automations on timeline/loop builder for further edition.
- adding midi notes for midi learn
- add pre length loop for audio recording in loop builder for easier live looping
- adding A/B locators for punch in punch out recordings in timeline biew
- have light/dark styles. Multiple themes with different colors palette tonalities for clips could be cool too

@Janosax Trying to scare the devs ?
Maybe make that list as poll and up to 3 votes.
I am sure many users would like all features ,but limiting the votes helps the devs to focus on specific features.
If someone thinks of something that's not in the list and is more important can post here and add it
Great idea, poll added. Hope this helps @MatthewAtStagelight
Don't see the poll
That's strange, I even voted... I redo it, hope it's just a bug.
Fixed
Not sure for the poll form for three choices however.
Wow! Thanks for doing this!
I thought the AB forum would provide an easy way to allow up to 3 votes , now it's a bit confusing , but many thanks @Janosax
Yes I know it’s a bit hard to read... but we should think that choice 1 is what come to voters mind first, at this time it’s Link. AU midi and IAA/AB are not very far away. In second choice, AU midi is the winner in large proportion. There are also good asks for audio/slicing, and a little bit for live playing and graphics/interface. It’s also possible to add items scores to make averages. All of this seems to give some interesting indication. Let’s see how this evolves with more voices.
You’re welcome, that could benefit everyone, devs/users
MPE support?
It has some MPE support already.
None of the things listed are as fundamental as tempo changes.
Actually - you’re right.
I’d like to see Ableton Live Export
MIDI stretching, like Auria Pro and Abelton.
A nice feature I didn’t thinked before for SL, is follow actions in loop builder. It already have scenes ones, but having clips follow actions with next/previous/first/other/last could be really cool too.
This is inspired! What a brilliant idea to do a poll for feature requests (and of three choices). Ace
And the dev likes it. This is the future. Well done @Janosax @Korakios
@realdawei suggested Pitch Correction. GB is the only DAW that does it respectably. I would also love to see this feature make it in @MatthewAtStagelight
Reverse pattern, change pattern speed would be cool
(Edit : midi stuff)
You can already change audio patterns speed by changing pattern tempo, same for pitch
What we really need in that window is a reverse button. Then by splitting audio part, and applying various parameters and enveloppes automation per part in arrangement mode that could be pretty awesome. Add to this the ability to join parts and it will be really cooool, as we can already copy/paste between loopbuilder/timeline modes
Transpose for pattern (loops) would be helpful too.
I want to see the following for SL on and above the ones mentioned:
Part consolidation - create a new part with all of the currently playing loops.
Background audio!
A CPU meter visible somewhere on the main screen would be nice even if you have to toggle it with the timecode display.
My fault, I meant midi patterns (well audio isn't a pattern isn't it??!!)
Well my fault as I thinked you were referring to audio clip when using pattern word
Written language interpretation joy!!
Personnaly I tend to call them audio and midi clips, too used to Live certainly.
So you mean you want reversing/inverting/etc for midi patterns? Could be cool for sure
Edit: BTW audio could be a pattern if it’s a melodic one for example, but this is more instrument playing related and not the correct word for DAW items like audio clips/parts.
Tap on StageLight logo and tada!!!! Audio input/output level sensitive red « leds » and cpu meter!! Being able to cycling though various true meters « à la AUM » could be even cooler.
Background audio is huge!! And like @Multicellular said some mid song tempo change would really help, especially since it’s designed to be cross platform.
I didn’t know we can’t map midi notes. That would make a huge difference if I wanted to trigger clips from my launchpad pro or novation circuit. Seeing how it seems like it might be great for live, this may be a huge deal moving forward for “live looping”
I hope to get around to more this weekend, I’ve only messed with it a little.
@Janosax thanks found it, do you know where it is on the iphone ?
You have to lowering scaling in general settings if you don’t see StageLight logo.
