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.

^^ agreed. kind of surprised an iOS app that has been in beta for a while hasn’t got it at launch to be honest.
It's a fair point but they have worked extremely hard on the social/collaborative aspect of the app and there's no doubt they nailed that aspect. It's truly addictive if you give in to it.
It is looking to me like the iOS <——> Desktop parity is the main focus. I think the idea is to ultimately bank on the desktop crowds willingness to pay higher prices to fund significant development moving forward. It will be interesting to see what purchasable iOS features emerge though.
It is a direction I was not expecting but probably smart to grab the desktop $$$ to build a sustainable model.
Interesting move. I’m a longtime desktop person but I think I’m going to stick to iOS. I’ve been generating useful stuff with my phone. The iOS version exports stems so I’m not seeing a strong need to go big $ wise.
anyone think there will be a stripped down version of Endless put out without the 'jamming with others' features?
I would lovingly pay for an offline HD audio version.
me too
Me too. I'd probably use that more than I use the current free version.
@timexile
Three votes for offline HD ios version! I wager a lot of folks would like this.
I’ve been having a lot of fun in this app lately. Riffing back and forth and seeing what a track can grow into is great.

I get the HD part, and I think it'll come in time but why the stripped down part? If you don't like people and jamming, just stay out of those parts of the app?
nothing against the app as it is... I wish they made another app geared towards self contained excursions with a roadmap geared to match.
Not that I am against subs by nature but I was thinking that offline with no sub and then just pay a pretty penny for the feature unlock would make most sense for me.
Is it just me or does anyone else find it annoying when someone comes into a jam, turns off all riffs and leaves 3 of their own? This doesn’t seem real collaborative to me. I always try to preserve others riffs and build off them.
Your approach is the prevailing etiquette. It's not practiced by everyone but easy enough to ignore then by going back to the previous point of collaboration to move forward.
I will admit I have done this once or twice when I go into a public jam and one or two people have just created bullshit noise. I swear some people just go in there to troll.
Yah my interest in the dog pile public jams is not very high. I would love to convince some people I know in meatspace to join in some private jams and actually start to build something out of this but that hasn’t happened yet. Hopefully HD audio recording on iOS comes and that it works offline still and the overall desktop tether is not too heavy handed for unlocking features. Biggest reason I don’t use my Circuit is the lack of iOS support and having to build Endlesss kits on desktop feels like it could be the same sort of thing.
No doubt about the trolling. I just ignore that BS.
