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.

A new version (v.2.39) of Piano Motifs is now available. This version has the following new features:
• Added new Minimum Bass Interval setting. When this setting is used, the accompaniment’s bass note (the tonic of the triad) will be selected so that it will be at the minimum interval possible to the previous bass note. This setting can be used to create ascending and descending chord progressions that cross octave boundaries. Please note that this setting is only available for chord and bass accompaniments and not available for arpeggio accompaniments.
• Fixed crash that occurs when the Drone Accomp Style is used with a programmed chord progression and the 3rd MIDI track is enabled on MIDI Out, or a MIDI 3-Track option is used to export MIDI.

Enjoy!
In the “Serendipity” mode the selection for what is played on a beat is random between a single note, a dyad, a triad, an extended chord, or nothing ( which results in extending the previous note/notes). This random selection is biased towards selecting less notes more often. Since it is random, there should be a lot of variety, and in that variety there will be cases that will sound more “orderly” and some that will sound more “chaotic”.
Done.
If any developer deserves positive reviews this guy is it.
Got it, thanks for the explanation!
With the new Minimum Bass Interval setting you should be able to get these descending bass progressions.
That’s a nice feature for orchestral “writing” for a new generation of assembly line composers.
Thanks @Simon 😊!
I tried the "closest bass note" setting and it keeps jumping up a 7th on the second chord rather than down a 2nd. After that it descends nicely but that first jump ruins the effect.
So, I reverted to using chord inversions to insure a descending baseline:
This was made by pointing PM at AUM and setting up Korg Module Pro, iSymphonic and Roli Noise instruments to generate orchestral arrangements. In playback I would select
new iSymphonic instruments to switch the melody from strings to flute to oboe to horns, etc.
I didn't do any editing so the "start and stop" are pretty clumsy.
Hi @McD,
Really nice descending progression. The instrumentation is great!
I will DM you with some questions about your setup to investigate the reason for the jump.
Piano Motifs meets Heavy Metal…
I think you may have violated the warranty. But in a good way. If it ain't broke... break that MoFo.
@GeoTony, you have taken it to another level! Your GeoShred solos rock! Definitely illustrates the versatility of PM and how it can be creatively used for different musical styles/genres.
Wow 👏

That was beautiful!
Nicely done!

Bought a few minutes ago. A fine app.
Is it possible to save audio as a wave-file?
The Share button, bottom right and then Audio produces an .m4a which can be converted to .wav via a number of apps.
I know. Did this with AudioShare.
It would be nice, that you must not convert.
Thought I would post my album here as well as in its own thread…
Fifteen diverse tracks all brought into the world by the Piano Motifs App by Fernando Morales (@azul3D_Apps) and nurtured in AUM by me using a variety of sound sources and effect.
Each piece explores a different Key, Scale, Time Signature and Beats Per Minute available in PM
Intro and Outro top and tail the Album and are the only pieces that comprise more than one motif I.e. 3 gathered into an arrangement, Outro just having some additional strings added.
All of the Intermissions are simple slow pieces with a single sound source and no or minimal effects
A new version of Piano Motifs is available on the App Store. This version has the following new features:
• New Edit Functionality in the Program Chord Progressions Screen (Copy, Paste, Insert, Clear, Delete).
• Enhanced internal repeat sequence algorithm.
• Minor bug fixes and enhancements.
Enjoy!
When there's a new comment from @azul3D_Apps it's typically to announce an update.
No one else seems to provide such rapid updates based on user requests.
Agreed, new edit functionality works great, many thanks.
And don’t forget the tip jar. …..
New giveaway and demo video

No better way to thank @azul3D_Apps than using the latest version of the app to create this… everything other then the twiddly knob thing played by Piano Motifs
Just trying to make Piano Motifs better one step a time. Thanks all for your feedback and support.
Nice!
