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.

Demo of "The Chordulator" Mozaic Script
It occurred to me that showing examples of Mozaic scripts in action might encourage
people to download them and demonstrate them in action:
You can get some really interesting output from @wim's The Chordulator by playing with the strum, random and probability knobs.

FYI: The Chordulator is the most downloaded and most Liked script on PatchStorage.com but I have never seen anyone refer to it in a musical creation. Do you have any to share?
Thanks for the link. I do want to try this one now; mission successful.
+1. Please share an example of it in use. It starts with chords but the knobs take it into all
kinds of MIDI generator territories you wouldn't think of as chord centric. But because the note choices are chord based the music has more depth to hold it together. Major, minor, number of notes but there's some magic in the strum, probability and random knobs.
Probably great for low BPM ambient textures by filtering out predictability but keeping that underlying harmonic structure.
Huh! Who'da thunk ... this doesn't really sound like your kind of thing. It's a crutch for actual musicianship, making it possible to make chords and articulations by playing only single keys. You're usually out there telling people they should learn their stuff rather than leaning on shortcuts.
But ... maybe, who knows?
Sorry, @McD
Haven't had enough time to dig through Mozaic. Been stuck the past few days dealing with installing C++ compiler on my Windows. Arrrgh. Why does this have to be so difficult to configure?
No, I love generative algorithms. It gives you access to ideas you may not have thought of otherwise.
Which one are you installing? MS or GNU or other? Desktop software on Windows is a bit of a nightmare. Pro developers love the MS dev environment like artists love Apple. I avoided it because (like Apple) they quickly escort you into their lovely walled garden of
API's.
Open is best and costs less but has it's own headaches.
I've tried both, as well as Cygwin. None of them work. Eclipse detects that it's installed but it's just not linking...sigh.
You're making me recall nightmares from the 90's. I ended up using multi-platform coding tools: Java, Python, Ruby, Perl and Eclispse does that well.
C++ is important however if you intended to become a master of Digital Signal Processing (DSP's). I hope your ready for the Math involved on that path. I'd imagine there are DSP
routines in the faster scripting environment but I recall you want to use Juce so follow their guidance and you can get there. Find forums of coders to skip you more clues.
Oh, I'm cool with the math. I do have a background in Electrical Engineering and Computer science. Plus I've done some DSP projects, and spent most of my undergrad working with MATLAB.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is...bring it on.
Edit: I kid about the last part. I'm still gonna ask other programming forums a ton of questions. I wish I learnt Python and C++ at school, instead of Java and C. Well, no knowledge is a waste.
