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.

    @bleassapp is there a chance of making the envelope controls react relative to the current position instead of jumping to where I start sliding from?

    Could you please reformulate your question? I don't get it right

    Thank you all for your remarks and @richardyot for pointing that out! we will work on this and should bring some improvements in the coming updates regarding this enveloppe behaviour. But please note that all synths do not necessarily behave the same way.
    In this case, if you apply really long attack and release, they will tend to overlap if you play the same note again so a workaround in this very case could be to add a long attack to your filter envelope as well (and not only on the amp adsr)

    Thanks for looking into this :)

    Increasing the filter envelope does help, but it doesn't eliminate the problem. You can't really make ambient music with Alpha due to this behaviour, so IMO it is a pretty big deal 🎹

    I was able to get good results without any issues by setting both amp and filter envelopes to max attack and decay. Make sure the mod envelope is turned off. If it’s modulating pitch you will hear it as a blip on re-strike.

    PS - what I hear on your video sounds like the filter envelope re-triggering FWIW

    BTW Doug made this huge video with Pads only last night. COOL BEANS ! ;)

    Nice touch adding the bit crusher effect to the app. It sounds really nice on the square waves

    Here, my latest post using two instances of Alpha and sampled sound from Ripplemaker.

    Actually, nevermind. It looks that most apps I use have faders/sliders that can be picked up from anywhere across therid length, and then the fader knob moves relative to where one started the interaction. That said, I spent some quality time on the bus with Alpha today and I'm already getting used to the faders behavior.

    Thanks for getting back to me though!

    Great news. Thanks very much for your effort on this tremendous sounding synth.

    @bleassapp is there a way to turn background audio off and stop accidental battery drain?

    Also, is there a way to turn down the latency?

    It seems to have more latency than all my other synths.

    What VST would y'all most compare this too?

    @bleassapp downloaded your delay/reverb/alpha .... fantastic job ! tx

  • ohwellohwell

    @bleassapp So with the updates to alpha, is the BLEASS filter the only one of your AUv3 apps that doesn’t do double tap for value reset? Would you consider adding double tap to reset on BLEASS filter as well?

  • bleassappbleassapp

    Hi guys

    thank you all for the cool videos (thank you @iOSTRAKON and @Shazamm ! ), as well as your feedback!

    @ahallam Regarding the Alpha, the background audio is on by default. If you fear for your battery life, we advice to kill the app through task manager.
    @jolico Regarding latency, you can change it when Alpha is loaded in a host such as AUM. Then the host's buffer size will prevail. But by default, the Alpha latency is very low! if you feel you have some latency, it's probably due to the use of Bluetooth headphones
    @ohwell thanks for the input about the filter. we will note this and discuss it with the dev team.

    You’re welcome! I apologize for turning your app into a noise fest 😂

    Interesting thing to me about this app ... usually when I get a new synth, I rip through the presets to see what the synth is capable of. While auditioning sounds, I'm thinking that I'll want to do this or that with this synth. It will serve this need or whatever. I blow through them and then get back to Star Trek.

    With this synth, I stopped and immediately started playing and tweaking. I was stuck basically on two presets and just kept at it. So much fun. The interface is beautifully designed to encourage you to get right in there and start editing/designing. I enjoy the sound and the ease of the modulation layout. Just marvelous and I really really like it. Top stuff!

    It's such a simple synth structure, not really a need for randomization

  • kinkujinkinkujin

    Looking forward to it @MrBlaschke .

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    WOW

    Just bought all the Bleass apps except for the Groovebox. They are all really good and lots of fun. I was surprised, because people seemed a bit unsure. I had sort of got it into my head that they were going to be a tad boring - couldn’t have been more wrong!
