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.

Disquiet junto 0407 dark pitch
Does anybody here do these Disquiet Junto projects? Basically, it's a mailing list and they send you song challenges. https://disquiet.com/junto/
I thought I would post it here in case anyone else is interested:
Step 1: It’s 3am. You’re driving across a very dark, very flat territory. There are no other cars in sight. The radio signal begins to fade. You turn the dial. You hear something strange between stations. You grab your phone to record what you’re hearing. Now share that recording.
Seven More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:
Step 1: Include “disquiet0407” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your track.
Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0407” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.
Step 3: Upload your track. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your track.
Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0407-dark-pitch/
Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.
Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #disquietjunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.
Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.
Additional Details:
Deadline: This project’s deadline is Monday, October 21, 2019, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, October 17, 2019.
Length: The length is up to you.
Title/Tag: When posting your track, please include “disquiet0407” in the title of the track, and where applicable (on SoundCloud, for example) as a tag.
Upload: When participating in this project, post one finished track with the project tag, and be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.
Download: Consider setting your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).
For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

Yes, been doing it for a while now.
Do you find the challenges motivating? I’m mainly interested in having a deadline so I don’t just noodle around. Let me know when you post this week’s one.
Sometimes the theme doesn’t suit my way of writing but then it’s down to interpretation and ideas. I’m the same as you in having a deadline - stops the noodling and I have finished songs or, at least, something to build upon. I have this weeks nearly done so I’ll let you know. Have you done any yet?
Nope, but I’m sitting here with a little bit of a hangover and wondering if it would be a good idea or not.
The beauty of it is you can just start writing something and if nothing comes of it don’t send it. I have quite a few pieces started but not finished but they may well fit another brief later on.
If find it very inspiring. Marc regularly comes up with weird (in a good way) scenarios. As others have said, it doesn’t always click and even of it does you don’t necessarily get a handle on it, but to me, every Thursday it’s a brand new box of cookies.
Been dropping in and out of these for several years now!
I love them, a great way to challenge yourself sometimes, I have learned a lot from doing these.

The ‘one sample dares’ over at ambientonline are great too!
@Jhnk Thank you for the reminder and instructions. Do you know how to integrate tel Soundcloud player in this forum? (=> I found: just the link is fine)
The other weekly ‘challenge’ is the Naviar Haiku ( https://naviarlab.tumblr.com/)
Well, I missed the goddamn deadline.
@id_23 @ajmiller thanks for the links, I will check them out
@jhnk The deadline is fairly fuzzy... sometimes I have submitted a piece Honolulu time, I live in Europe!!
Here’s my entry:
It was a dark lonely road we all took this week! Here’s my entry also! Tardigrain, Cubasis, Blackhole and Harmony 8 on the horn!
@ajmiller @id_23 love the vibes. I might try to a sounscape next time. I’m also interested in learning something about granular synthesis. I have quanta but no idea how to use it or what to use it for.
I did do a jam like thing but the literal hangover became a musical one. I'll try to cut the shittier parts and post it if there is anything left
