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.

NEW: Document Handling - (iOS11 and later) Notion now directly supports Apple’s built-in document opener. This allows you to create, open and save scores directly in the location of your choice, whether on the device, in Notion’s iCloud folder, or via the linked cloud folders of your choice (such as Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive for example). Note – If you are running iOS9 or 10, then there is a document opener built in to Notion that will allow saving to the device, or to Notion’s iCloud folder only.
NEW: Export as MP3
NEW: Export for SMP Press
NEW: Save as Template

Change in Minimum Requirements:
Notion v2.5 requires Apple iOS9 or higher (was iOS8).
Please note, Notion 2.5.x will be the final version to support iOS9.

iOS Device Improvements:
Add ‘Close’ button to Score Setup for larger phones, in order to dismiss the Score Setup menu
Tools in the sidebar not covered by the ‘notch’ in larger iPhones
Larger phones now load the correct chord symbol dialog (rather than trying to load the iPad version of this dialog which then couldn’t be dismissed)
When in split view on an iPad, the onscreen fretboard, keyboard and mixer now show in the correct size
Optimised for Dark Mode

FIXES
Handwriting:
Fix for handwriting engine occasionally stopping during a long session
Fix for subsequent measures sometimes changing after handwriting recognition on an earlier measure
Rests on ledger lines no longer cause an issue
Elements that cross systems (e.g. ties) now supported when using the handwriting area or continuous score view
Adjacent offset notes on ledger lines now don’t transpose on subsequent notes being entered
Fix for handwriting recognition problem on systems that have a repeat line

Audio:
Fix for some newer devices, where Notion was not using the device sample rate leading to distortion when playing back or exporting an audio file.
Playback warning pop-up for large scores removed
Hi-hat foot splash sample now plays back

MusicXML:
New MusicXML elements imported: sf, sfp, fp, sfz and fz; beaming; measured tremolos that include tuplets; very short duration notes (down to 1024th notes); fermatas; harmonic circle symbol / open circle symbol; snap (Bartok) pizzicato; scoop, doit and fall-off
New MusicXML elements exported: clef changes; pizz and arco; pre-bends; sf, sfp, fp, sfz and fz; mutes; measured tremolos; noteheads; fermatas; harmonic circle symbol / open circle symbol; snap (Bartok) pizzicato; scoop, doit and fall-off
Tablature export and import fully reworked
Support for ‘.musicxml’ file extension
Better handling of any missing slur end elements on import, to avoid very long slurs occurring
Voices on grand staff reworked
When importing with time signatures that have a high numeral (e.g. 11/4), whole measure rests now show as expected
Better handling of imported beaming information
Now imports grace notes with beaming information
Fixed occasional duplication of symbols, when exporting legato-accent, and mezzo-staccato
Fix for TAB pitches being wrongly transposed by an octave on export, for non-transposing fretted instruments (e.g. banjo,
mandolin, ukulele)

MIDI:
Improved rhythmic spelling on MIDI import
Fix for MIDI files not being imported from other apps in some circumstances

General notation and note entry:
5th string banjo fret numbers now start at the 5th fret as expected
Lyrics and chord symbols now paste without replacing the notation, after copying a selection that is longer than one measure
When writing chords with the on-screen piano keyboard, notes are no longer ‘held down’ after moving to the next position
Fix for crash caused by deleting notes in measures with rhythm slashes in another voice
When writing chords with the onscreen guitar fretboard, notes are held on the fretboard after moving to the next position to allow repeated chord strumming (keep moving to the next position with the right arrow to enter multiple chords). The chord is automatically cleared from the fretboard if a new note is tapped on the fretboard

Slash Notation:
Bass note of Chord Symbol now supported in playback
Slashes with augmentation dots now have more spacing in Jazz Font
Notes can be deleted in measures with rhythm slashes in another voice, without crashing

Tremolo:
Tremolo Entry behaviour changed: e.g. for a fingered tremolo with quarter duration, now insert two eighths before applying the tremolo
Tremolo can now be tapped onto the first note or in between notes
Stems now can go in either direction in a voice 2 tremolo
Fingered tremolos that include chords now play back as expected
Bug fixed for the second note of a fingered tremolo changing duration if tremolo entered onto second note (now does nothing)
Bug fixed for a third note being erroneously added to an existing tremolo, if a tremolo is entered onto the second note (now does nothing)

Text:
Fix for existing text in text boxes becoming hidden when editing
Lyrics font can now be changed globally per document. Go to either Full Score Settings or Parts Settings, then Layout>Lyric Font
Fix for a melisma causing an issue if followed directly by a hidden measure (e.g. by a cut, a hidden staff, or a multi-measure rest)

Paste:
Paste into a Specific Voice is now accessed via a long press, at the point you wish to paste into the music
Pasting into a different voice now does not remove any existing rest at the beginning of the destination measure
The whole measure is now not replaced/overwritten when pasting a partial measure as expected.
Paste no longer causes rhythmic changes, when pasting multiple times between different voices or between a grand staff
Paste now ignores ties in other voices on a grand staff
When using Duplicate, now automatically adds more measures before pasting, if you are duplicating past the end of a score
Lyrics and chord symbols now paste without replacing the notation, after copying a selection that is longer than one measure

Languages:
Tuplet dialog is now translated properly in Japanese language
Musical intervals are now translated properly in German language, in transposition window
When Notion is set to Korean, Japanese or Sim Chinese, the drumpad now enters cymbals with expected cross noteheads
New Score corrected in Spanish

General:
General performance and stability improvements
Print Parts to PDF now prints in score order
