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.

I go play one every few weeks at my local store. Good fun but way too expensive for my taste.
Good idea. Gotta figure out how to connect SynthJacker to it 😬
I’d be too afraid of breaking it to ever consider spending retail price on it. From every video I’ve seen, it doesn’t seem like a joy to patch fine details. There’s just something a bit alien about it and its sound. Or could be I’m just unfamiliar with the way opulence sounds.
Isnt it amazing this exists, the balance between analogue and digital tech available is sweet at the moment.
Hihi, i think the answer is yes. The design is classic not futuristic.
Polymoogs and CS-80s were in a similar price bracket when they first appeared IIRC...
The Prophet 6 strikes a similar top quality analog/digital balance for much less. Not a Moog though 😎
Well my take is:
It's the nicest synth I've ever played as far as interface goes. The keys feel amazing as does the experience of operating the panel.
Where it falls short for me and similar to the Alesis Andromeda is that while it can sound great, it can sound really average too. You can't get fast awesome sounding basic saw/square patches like on a classic (Jupiter, Memorymoog, CS, Korg PS3XX etc.)
It is like having a set of almost sharp kitchen knives compared to having a collection of specialised knives that are all razor sharp and perfect for their specific task.
Yeah and that was the price at the time! The $5,295 the Polymoog cost in 1975 is roughly equal to $25,000 today. The $6,900 for the CS-80 in 1976 is roughly $31,000 today. So a Moog One is a steal!
