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.

That's Sir Elton, by the way... on the John.
I guess that’s why they call it No. 2’s ?
Goodbye Yellow Brick Load.
Damn - busted! I knew I shouldn't have worn that feather boa down Aldi's!
Breakpoint editing is very very very fiddly. Without an Apple pencil I'm not sure I'd have the patience and even then it takes a precise stab.
v.g.
as yr lyricist/attorney I advise you to see a specialist toot sweet..
.. or stop with them lemon scented candles up the wind!
it may have been the 5foot high dr martin boots that gave it away..
I have the same issue and I can’t figure it out by myself - there is always this break/pause/stop and I can’t manage to get a continuous movement of the LFO ,,, - is it meant like this? Is there a trick? Or is it a bug?
But while playing with the shape of the LFO I noticed a GUI bug - cause after a while of re-shaping the LFO curve - all of sudden the white dot (which indicates the position of the circle) is „leaving“ the line of the curve shape and it flows freely through the LFO-universe ... anybody else experiencing this?
I just got Continua and tried it for the first time (in standalone mode) and I am getting a lot of missed notes, both when playing the screen keyboard and also using a Roli Block. That makes it unusable for me at the moment, i hope that can be fixed. I have an original iPad Pro.
@McD Methadone.... thats hillarious!😆😆
yes this is what i was talking about.
guess it is because of simple porting from the desktop version. i imagine when audio damage wants to work with their own products they dont use ios versions.
have you ever seen an audio app in which you can choose between different audio drivers?
well in continua you can.
there is a noticeable difference between ports and apps designed for ios.
continua was my last try for AD iOS products.
What IOS version and with what buffer settings?
Have you tried it as an AUv3?
This is not directed to you personally.
I'm on a crusade to raise the level of civility and discourse on the Forum as a comment on how new apps are covered.
I have waited on many apps due to a few vocal reviewers and found out their input was
not worth the time it took to be influenced but their take. I then have to approach all opinions as suspect unless a Forum Member creates credibility as thinking like I do about
IOS as a enabler.
Comments like this make it appear an app is defective (and frankly all apps have "defects" to someone). There are 10 people now that will wait to check this one out. I think it's irresponsible to request bug fixes on a Forum. Some think otherwise. "We should have complete freedom to complain".
Many apps suffer from anti-marketing campaigns to "help" other from buying a "defective"
app. Maybe that's OK since it keeps the rant off the iTunes store which can really damage an app's sales.
Discuss.
Email AD support. I had a similar issue with Quanta and my Block and I received a fast and helpful response.
@McD all I ever did was ask how a key feature of this synth works. Programming midi cc 11 and 74 to the synth parameters. You still refuse to take a couple sentences to explain that, yet you somehow have the time to write out these long rambling coke fueled (what must be) prewritten monologues that have a grand total of 0 useful things to say. Are you having a psychotic breakdown or something? Does one of us need to take you to the hospital? Can I get you a warm glass of milk?
Look for artist Horse Gas on Bandcamp.
I can only say as I find, I have a number of AD apps and like them all. I am sure that they will sort this out (as I said in my original post). I have tried with the buffer set to up to 512 and am still getting missed notes and the latency would be too much for me at higher levels. Using IOS 13.3 which is up to date.
Having reported my issue, I have heard from Chris at AD very promptly and there is an updated version out which having now downloaded it, fixes most of my issues. It is working fine with the Roli Block and when used as AUv3. I am still getting a few missed notes using it standalone with the screen keyboard when playing fast. But I can now start using it in earnest, looking forward to getting deep into it.
Happy to hear it.
Ad hominem: (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
I'm not attacking you. I'm making a point. Debate the assertion:
Criticizing a new app that directs others to see it as inherently flawed damages the developers business and in some cases gives buyers a false sense of the products value.
Try to refute this contention. Free speech is valuable but it also generates opposition if it's used to damage someone that also uses it to make statements about an issue.
I have the right to get a cab to the hospital and be reimbursed. But I appreciate your concerns and offers of assistance. Be best.
Not criticizing a new app that has flaws inflates the developer’s business unjustifiably and in some cases gives buyers a false sense of the product’s value.
I know you mean well. But I think trying to shut down negative comments is neither needed nor helpful. How such things are said is another matter.
That last post that triggered your response, if not meant to be taken as a jest, is a good example. You didn’t deserve that kind of rudeness. Kudos on your restraint. I doubt I would have done as well.
I agree with that. My comments on this thread are to use criticism fairly however.
I didn't name anyone specifically. But I hit some nerves and I did borrow some
text from people to point out statements I didn't think were fair.
Thanks. That's my point.
Maybe I did deserve it. I can be a argumentative A-hole and hate to loose a debate. So, I won't stop. Some of the comments indicate I lost the right to be read by repeating myself.
So, I tried to re-state my thesis... yet again.
When new apps come out... people point at flaws... readers wait to buy the app.
It rolls off the page. Lost opportunity for the developer and many buyers, I think.
Document a flaw but give it context and give the developer a chance to address the flaw.
File a bug report and see if it gets address. People try to get immediate attention here.
Some developers use the forum and benefit by putting out fires... many that have a lot of apps have given up. And that's our loss. They should feel safe here but it would take
an aggressive policy about unfair bashing of an app or developer to give them confidence
this isn't a reddit-style mob forum. From the developer's perspective, these comments are like telling them their kids ugly.
I am repeating myself... One would like to be understood. One is often not.
There are 3 solutions to conflict:
I shall flow and see where conflict takes me. It can lead to good things. I also
do the occasional mini-flee and all is well. But fighting just breaks shit.
On the flip side, airing those things here, publicly, is a way of getting immediate confirmation whether it’s a bug, user error, model or OS version dependent, already reported to the developer, being addressed, etc.
How many, many times has what someone mentioned here fallen into one of those categories and been dealt with without the developer having to respond to a bazillion emails? How many hours of user frustration trying to make something work, thinking they must be doing something wrong, are saved?
Developers and customers alike can benefit from the open dialog. That some developers have too thin a skin to appreciate that is fine. They don’t have to come here if they don’t see the benefit, that doesn’t mean the rest of us need to shy away from it.
Ok I’m done encouraging any more OT.
Thanks Kikujin. I did send a PM to avoid taking the thread off topic, but it seems to be doing that of its own accord anyway.
Don’t search for Horse Gas on YouTube, as you’ll just get a list of farting pony videos.
There’s a lesson there for anyone choosing a new band name.
hey i can just say this synth is really inspiring, that’s an unlisted feature that i find with it
Personally I think this is by far the “feature” that matters most. A flawed app that is deeply inspiring is still completely worth it....and what’s the point of perfectly implemented apps that inspire nothing?
Well stated... fair and without targeting anyone with an axe.
Post anything that doesn't work just don't use language you wouldn't say to them
in front of a camera. Some of the comments on new apps are just mean and based on
the righteous indignation of a disgruntled customer: ranting essentially. Not cool.
Back to our regularly scheduled program. Has anybody made any more demo tracks that feature this app? What is it great for in your opinion? What else is like it and makes it superfluous in your tool box? If I have -----, should I pass on it? I just buy all the new stuff so
I love the pricing. Below $10... no brainer. Check it out. Above $10, I start to get really picky.
I screwed up on IMPULSation. Bigtime. Was below $10. Now. wait 'til Black Friday list.
Agree with both completely ... somehow the imperfections in this case are kind of ... analogue, and although I hope for improvements (especially a decent mod matrix or some kind of overview) it still sounds great.
I keep coming back to it, but boy this synth has its flaws though. Haven’t crossed the threshold that makes me quit yet, but it is approaching.
And for the record, what are we supposed to do, wait 2 days to express discontent so the developer can sell a few more “untainted” copies? I’ve never typed anything on this forum I wouldn’t say to anyone’s face. I used to always be told “your mouth is gonna get your ass kicked one day”. But as it turns out most people appreciate brutal honesty, and those that don’t definitely aren’t the fighting type.
Seriously... what business is it of yours to try to censor very temperate and specific criticisms of any app? As you say, I’m not attacking you, I’m attack8ng your opinion that others opinions should be censored if they don’t meet a standard of your partisan choosing. If a new app, among all the praise, is also criticised... so what? If it damages that persons business, just like positive comments promote it, again, so what? It’s a meritocracy. Make an app with upsides, as we,k as problems, get some positive and negative comments, sell more, sell less. Good.
We all want the iOS music dev world to flourish, nd part of that happening is by apps being of a good quality, and there being freedom to criticise and review honestly. This isn’t a shelter for battered women. It’s where people who pay for apps go, as well as the devs who make the apps, both of which presumably enjoy doing those things.. but noones holding a gun to anyone’s head. Just as we aren’t entitled to apps devs aren’t entitled to sales, we all coexist through each other.
And why would anyone want to debate that assertion. You need to read back your posts as they come across very supercilious and peremptory with a misplaced sense of authority. Thre’s No asking, just trying to tell people what to do. I think framing it as a debate or thesis is a completely disingenuous way to try to inveigle that point of view into things, knowing it w9nt be well received. I doubt anyone has the t8me or interest in refuting contentions of yours but the inherent error in making that statement is the idea that generating opposition is a problem. Who cares? Good, opposition and difference are good. If you don’t like it rhats an issue for you to deal with not for others to enable. The world is varied and people are always trying to shut down free speech with a convenient assumption that those in favour of it are so for the purposes of abusing it, which disguises their real motives and issues with differing views.
And Sorry but it’s a bit rich claiming you’re on a campaign to make people post more civilly and talking about avoiding making th7ngs personal when the last time you responded to someone doing just that by call8ng them self important, when all they’d done was spoken about bugs not be8ng fixed in the respective app. I think that was you, sorry if not, as it was a thread in which I saw you commenting in the same way. You just seem to ave a personal issue with anything but positive comments and I think you’d do well to have a look at that and yourself before pushing it on others, as your perception of posts as negative is really amplified. The post that triggered your spoiler thing here is a perfect example, it’s a very temperate polite and actually an extremely helpful post that should in no way provoke that in a response even if not specifically to that person.
This is a forum for people to read about apps, TE good things the bad, good and bad experiences and opinions, bugs etc, it’s not a marketing platform.
