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.

    Anyone have a preferred controller they use with Drambo? I’m starting to get curious what would pair well with this for live oriented use

    I use nanokontrol studio and it’s great for me

    Totally depends on the project. NanoKontrol for the mixer, Beatstep for synth knobs and expression pads, Hercules Starlight for DJ-style performances.

    This is awesome! Are these assignments all done within Drambo?

    Interesting.. Thanks for posting..

    Oh wow, I didn’t make the connection with launchpad, that’s a lot more control over it than I expected. I might have to grab one of those cos I see them pretty cheap used on guitar center’s website all the tine. Between that and a Beatstep, I think most stuff would be covered besides a good keyboard

  • ciancian

    I have a Behringer rip off that I bought for $15 that works fine for this kind of stuff.

  • noobnoob

    woo Strum!

  • rs2000rs2000

    Yep, you can now use Drambo as a MIDI processor in your favorite DAW.

    Excited to see upcoming midi mangling scripts taking advantage of this :) Edit: not scripts, but racks :smiley:

    Play drambo session number one on iPad number one.
    Mute drums
    Play drambo session number two on iPad number 2 or on iPhone and only play drums and Sync it to you abelton session on your Laptop.

    You see where this is leading.

    Oh.. Ok..

    WOOOOOO!!!!

  • bcrichardsbcrichards

    @RajahP i think your question was in regards to midi processor AudioUnit. This is for the app itself, so it can now be added to a DAW as a MIDI processor Audio unit. For some hosts/DAWs it’s not a real change, but there were less flexible hosts that could not take advantage of the midi processing aspects of Drambo due to there not being a dedicated MIDI audio unit (I think).

    Actual Audio Unit hosting is planned for the future though.

    So how come when I go into AUM and look for Drambo in the AU MIDI Processor section it's not there? It's over in the Audio Unit Extension directory as it always has...

    Try opening Drambo in standalone once, after updating.

    Did so. Actually, did so twice. Once after updating and once after rebooting. No dice.

  • reasOnereasOne

    i canot figure out how to use one instance of drambo in zenbeats to send midi to several instruments, it seems each channel needs its own drambo? i’ve set up 2 auv3 synths and the only way to get midi to send is to have one on the same channel drambo of placed. ideas?

  • ciancian

    I wish you could mess with the curves on the ADSR/ADR etc envelopes. For a groovebox so focused on drums it's odd it doesn't give more flexibility on that as it can make such a difference to the sound.

    Please consider emailing or messaging @giku_beepstreet he is probably one of the most responsive developers I have had the pleasure to correspond with.

    Works here. Are you sure you're using the latest Appstore versions of AUM and Drambo?

    I've mentioned it to him before on the forum, but I might mention it again I guess.

    There is a workaround, but it's painful.

  • RichtownsRichtowns

    Works here also. Latest everything @lukesleepwalker Maybe try a restart, soft reset thingy

    It's planned to make the graphic envelope(s) re-triggerable so eventually they might be able to replace the classic envelopes.
    Modular systems are full of workarounds, otherwise you'd have an endless list of specialised modules. That's not really the concept of Drambo.

    We have modulatable Env flex (vactrol like with modulatable shape), Env AD mod and Graphic envelope. What else do we need? :) Whats so limiting?

    Confirmed. Works for me also, both AUM and AB3. Using iPadOS 13.7. Could this be another iOS 14 issue?
