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.

Demo of all my favorite apps on one iPad

edited February 2013 in Creations

Here's a dubstep demo, this is a live jam on one iPad, with a few other iOS devices as controllers (using MIDI Designer Pro)

My favorite parts:

Of course, Audiobus and Loopy are magic

Animoog just makes amazing sounds

Midi designer pro can Map a MIDI cc to the x/y accelerometers ;) on my iPod touch

Magellan for fx! this is a poor demo, but it has potential since its fully MIDI mappable.

***Oh yeah, turn down your volume and don't take me too serious. ...Just having fun here

    From the YouTube description...

    • Animoog for iPad is the sound source: every sound (except for bass, snare, hi-hat) was created live in Animoog, looped into Loopy HD
      Go get Animoog
      https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/animoog/id471638724?mt=8
      And Loopy HD
      https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/loopy-hd/id467923185?mt=8

    • all sounds come from one iPad, recorded internally via Loopy HD app and Audiobus app. Loopy recorded the session and I uploaded it directly to soundcloud, no edits.

    • MIDI Designer Pro gives additional controls via virtual MIDI/ wifi MIDI on an iPod touch and a second iPad. Also MIDI Designer Pro uses the accelerometer on the iPod to affect Animoog's xy pad. It's a stellar app.
      Get it:

      ** Disclaimer: this is dubstep. **
      It gets ... filthy, TURN WAY DOWN the volume before 2:30 unless you enjoy that sort of thing.
      also:

    • Magellan for iPad added some fx on the hi hats, via Audiobus.

    • Molten Drums was used for drum samples triggered by the drum pads made in MIDI Designer Pro
    • The whole recording was a 15 minute jam... yep, it got boring so I trimmed down to 5 minutes. sorry the video doesn't match audio by the end.

    if you really care for the full app list:

    main iPad2:
    Animoog for iPad
    Audiobus
    MIDI Designer Pro
    Loopy HD
    Magellan for iPad
    Molten Drums

    second iPad2:
    MIDI Designer Pro - custom Loopy HD controller via MIDI

    iPodTouch 3G:
    MIDI Designer Pro - x/y axis accelerator enabled MIDI controls and faders to Animoog

  • Nice track...

  • Thanks everyone. And I've stumped the Audiobus guru! Now that's an accomplishment ;) I should have left in a few seconds of the audiobus setup screen for you guys. Seriously though, who would have though this could be done with zero external hardware, other than my earbuds, lol! Audiobus amazes me.

    Also, you guys might like to know, it was taxing the main iPad 2 pretty good. I posted the first pass that didn't crash one of the MIDI connections or lose the audio on Molten drums. Next time I might try DM1 for my drums to see if it keeps up better.
