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 StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

Matthew Fetcher aka @analog_matt just announced on Twitter that the next Limited Edition AudioKit App will be FREE!
Audiokit is so cool!
Edit: 😶
I bought it for now. I trust iPhone will be coming soon as @analog_matt said. But I figured get it now in case for some reason they pull the plug on buying the app before the iPhone update.
@analog_matt great great job: love the nuance and movement the 6-bit setting provides. You nailed it on this one.
Please put the video of this on the youtube thank you
Still not available in the US?
Yes. Has been on the east coast for hours now. Does this link work: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bass-808-synth-auv3-platinum/id1502480224?ls=1
Yep,got it. Thanks for that!
Unfortunate for alot of us...it’s not universal
It will be soon
Pretty buggy in BM3, NS2 and Cubasis2. Lots of dropped notes when automation is applied and things sound different after AU automation plays back (pitch sometimes is whack?). Can’t say it is very useful for sequencing right now.
When I’m allowed back in nyc I will do it!
Anyone who has this and BASSalicious able to tell me: Can this do things that the subbasses in BASSalicious can’t do?
I believe Bassalicious is a ROMPLER which has samples of sounds that you can modify.
With this, it is a synth, so you have more control. Also, I suspect the storage space occupied by this app is a lot less than Bassalicious.
That said, the goal is to get sub bass. If Bassalicious works for you, then use it.
That's true, thanks!
Nah, BASSalicious isn’t a romper, it’s a synth. You can make it sound similar to this, but you’d be going about it in very different ways, and a few of the unique stuff such as the bit crusher would be difficult to mimic without external FX.
They’re different character instruments and as such, will tend to inspire different sounds. But yes, there is overlap.
I can make my acoustic guitar sound like a fuzzed out Strat, and sometimes do, but it doesn’t tend to inspire me in that direction straight off the wall hanger.
I'm wondering though why this isn't mpe, as synth one is going to be updated to be mpe compatible, right？@analog_matt I would love it if u made all the synths u r bringing out as part of this limited line mpe compatible!
I'm getting some serious hit and miss vibe off MIDI input via sequencers. Tried a handful, got missed notes, duplicates, or is that note offs being played as note ons. Lord knows, I'm giving up on this for now. Wierd that sending MIDI straight from a keyboard seems solid. That just hurts my head so I'm not going to think anymore about it.
Otherwise, yes, nice little bass/kick and happy to support Audiokit, but again what is it with the time limited nonsense.. Usually a red flag sales pitch tbh. If it wasn't Audiokit and I appreciate how generous that whole project is, would of been a hard pass.
Yah any sequencing I tried with NS2, BM3, Cubasis 2 and 3 was all messed up once automation came into play. Stuck notes, missed notes, automation that sounds nothing like what was recorded. I hate to say it but this feels like it wasn’t even tested.
Tis very odd. Only tried in AUM, but yes sequenced is pretty much unusable. Can't believe there was literally no testing, how is that even possible. Maybe something got screwed in the build.
Yah that does seem like it, doesn’t it?
I’m still on the first page and I’m not gonna read the whole thread but I have no idea why people are being such bitches to you when they usually completely brown nose devs. I think what you’re doing is great, keep at it man, ignore these whiny fucks. Looking forward to seeing what’s to come
Thanks everyone!
Sorry about the delay. We're working on the sequencing issues when combined with automation now. Hoping to get those fixed in the coming days – We're on it!
If anyone has replicable steps in their favorite DAW, feel free to email me your videos/steps:

I love AudioKit apps to play with but have never used one in a song (issues vary). But I do appreciate it and I keep buying them (always seem so enticing). Anyway cheers for this
Like the one i posted you yesterday - just lay down a 4-to-the-floor and start the sequence...after a few steps you get wild dropped notes, glides or delay issues, etc. pp.
Also happens if you play with the inbuild keyboard. Just repeatedly press one note and after a while you get the same glitches.
Yup, the repro steps are pretty simple on this one. Just try sequencing it with automation, likely in any DAW. I tried four daws and it was the same in all of them.
Sounds like a legato/retrigger issue, maybe. Would actually love to see this as a setting as I have seen in other instruments.@analog_matt.
Hey everyone, thanks. Issue is reproduced and we are working on the fix now through the weekend. Hoping to have a fix submitted to the app store by Monday! 🙏
Really excited to see all the productions ya'll make with this.
Please feel free to tag me in anything you make so I can hear your stuff 🙏
I never get tired of hearing people's iOS / AudioKit music.
