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.

New iPad music U Tube Channel, & a challenge proposal!
We finally created a brand new series that is completely focused on iPad music!
Tablet Manners – exploring iPad music.
In this series we accept a serious challenge: demonstrate how far you can push an iPad for music creating purposes. We'll try to take advantage of every musical potential hidden in the device, especially in the different approach to creation workflow and sound manipulation, creating music completely written and produced with IOS music apps.
In this episode we explore the depths of counterpoint with Alexandernaut FugueMachine!
The voices in the canon chase after each other, intertwining in a texture inspired to the alternative past of Scythe, Stonemaier Games tabletop game used as a background.
Hope you like the series!
APPS USED:
First voice of the counterpoint played on Strng, an app that employs Karplus-Strong synthesis to obtain string instruments sounds.
Organ chords are played with ChordPolyPad by Laurent Colson, controlled by the buttons of the Livid Instruments Minim bluetooth controller: organ sound is from Klevgrand's Hillman Vintage Combo synth processed in their DAW Cassette tape emulation plugin.
Bass voice is played with the Reeds and Strings patch from iSymphonic library app, “corrected” with some Klevgrand GotoEQ. Klevgrand Knorr Bass Vitalizer adds a bit of harmonic saturation for more presence and bite.
Third voice is synthesized via IceGear Mersenne percussive synth: delay, modulation and filter are internal.
Fourth voice is a Moog Model D.
The FX on the last part is Granular from Burns Audio, implementing a well known Mutable Instruments algorhythm quite famous in the modular synth environment.
Master reverb to glue everything together is Audio Damage EOS2 passed through AUM Saturator and Audio Damage RoughRider 3 compressor.
I used RX950 AD/DA and Amazing Noises Apps Limiter on the master bus.
Audiobus 3 takes care of MIDI connections (because it “remembers” and recalls ChordPolyPad presets, which is not Auv3), audio mixer is Jonatan Liljedahl Kymatica AUM.
