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.

Interesting/Unusual Tips and Ideas for **integrating** apps??

edited December 2019 in App Tips and Tricks

Like many of you, I probably have too many apps that I haven't took the time to explore and integrate. I'd like to hear your ideas about using multiple apps combined in unusual ways. Hopefully this thread will be good for everyone, from novice to expert. Don't feel like any tip is too big or small to mention, not everyone has thought of everything and we all have something to learn.

My first humble tip:
Ampify Groovebox is a bit stunted but it has some good drum sounds. Once you have a pattern, you can hot switch the drum kits to get unusual fills. Load Groovebox in AUM and mess around with hot switching drum kits on the end of every 8 bars or on the snare sound. I'm sure this would work for many other drum machines too.

  • What do you mean by hot switching? Do you mean changing to a completely different drum kit?

    Yes, while the music is playing change to a different drum kit (and record while you're doing it). It changes immediately and on tempo so it's the same pattern with different drum sounds. It's not a fill exactly, but it kind of acts like a fill at the end of 8/16 bars. Quick and easy to do for some variation on the drums.

    Patterning 2 is designed to do this and you can even sequence kit changes in song mode. Just flipping through quickly by hand here... err, too quickly

    What the hey, some poly2...

    Ah yes, I remember doing it in Patterning 1 as I was looking through kits and enjoying the juxtaposition of kits, but I never thought to record it properly for a track!

    I'd like to hear more about Rozetta too, because I've only scratched the surface of that.

    What is cool is you can set a kit to send midi notes 1-16, another to send 17-32 etc etc so you can sequence huge drum kits in BM3.
