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.

Beyond panning (did I mention the panning already?)....I wish that Groovebox AND Launchpad both had the simple file organizing option that Blocs has of being able to just move files up and down in the project list...
If we ever get panning, I hope they add it before the reverb/delay in the signal chain.
No chain monkey business Standalone, big button
Does the Xio have midi in via its usb ? If so, connect both it and the monostation to a usb hub, and then a CCK..and use aum (or similar) to route he midi from mono to Xio
I think you can ? The menus are not entirely consistent between the apps, at least one (Cannot recall which) has separate pen and up/down icons to get to the project functions...and at least one of the others it is all under the pencil icon (no separate up/down icon)

Getting the cricket pads on...just in case
HUZZAH!
The day is saved! Indeed Master Andy, there are little thingies on the the right hand side. Almost gray beyond distinction by eyes as soft as mine, but lo did I take you at your word etc and IT WAS SO.
/takes rest of the afternoon off.
👍
The appeal was doing it without needing a Mac or iOS device. Just two devices, no mixer just a pair of ‘phones plugged into the Ciccuit MS and the audio out of the synth back into the Circuit MS. The Audio in needs the Vca To be open so you can get some cool sounds depending on what you play on the CircuiT MS.
Sometimes it’s nice not to use a screen :-)
I have spent the last month and a bit more working exclusively with an LP pro, monostation, circuit, Mininova and bassstation 2...real midi connections only...the only usb involved is for the power to the LP Pro. I didn’t even use the iPad for fx or recording...I have a stereo mix going straight into a zoom r8
Wishing I hadn’t anticipated having to run and done the damn buckles up so tight now !
They are still buckles right ?
Be sure and hit them up with the request on their site. Just had an exchange with them about this.

As a cheap bastard I’m still undecided on the horizon IAP. Now a few days have passed, are you all still happy with it? Any reservations?
Sounds fun :-)
As well as my mono station, I have a drumbrute impact and a pro-1. I Also have a fair amount of old hardware in storage I’d like to put back into service if I can find some space at my office.
What I like about hardware like drum machines and the mono station is that I treat them a bit like playing a guitar. I play because I like playing. If something productive comes out of it and inspiration strikes then that’s a bonus.
Which, to bring things back on topic, that is similar to what I like about groovebox. It’s one of those apps that just takes away the pressure to create — not that it can’t be creative, quite the opposite, just that it is so simple and so perfectly designed to be prodded with a finger that it’s fun to just play without an ulterior motive. I’m more than happy to just export the loops to use elsewhere to enter producer mode.
I like groovebox as it lets me be in jam mode.
I like jamming. Who knew?
:-)
Much as I admire cheaposity and recognize it as a virture beyond my skill-set I can confirm that the addition of the new Horizon has expanded mine in terms of this Groovebox. Made all the more so, of course, by the fact that we can save our own presets these days, but I'm still looking forward to them spitting out more packs for this puppy as I'm sure they soon will....
Thanks JohnnyGoodyear for your comments. I'll probably take the plunge.
Yup that sounds about right. Hardware frees me up to play....Groovebox does the same
A side issue here. Is it possible to transfer a groovebox project from iphone to ipad?
if you like groovebox you’ll love horizon
What if you love Groovebox... how will you feel about horizon then? 🥰
Horizon is great for moody pad sounds. Using two instances here. Minimon is lead.
@auxmux great stuff mate! Well crafted! Like the prelinger attached to it
Keep up the good work!
Thanks @david_2017 Appreciate it!
Well done and love the video, cool beans!
haha well then you will extra love it now with horizon
Yeah! It IS really that good
for sure! i used 6 instances of it earlier in a drone jam with alteza for taste
Thank you @ElektrikDiva
I have been begging Ampify for just a basic MIDI channel in for ages. It’s a super fun tool for live jamming otherwise
I don’t think so. You can export audiofiles though....
