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.

Yes albeit the apparent simplicity is the fearsome user’s best gift as there’s actually a lot going on with Abu. I’m just having a little play with it and thinking how much goodness we have on iOS already.
I’ve been waiting for something similar to Abu Dhabi outside of KORG Gadget. Thanks to @ElliottGarage for bringing this to life
Abu Dhabi within Korg Gadget.
@supadom cheers, that actually now has made Gadget interesting to me
It’s very good, only problem is you have to run Gadget as well.
As long as I have it plugged in I no longer have the battery drain in 5 minutes thing, but if that cord slips out Nurse....
I get about 30 minutes on my Air 2 with that bugger. Actually it’s the heat build up that worries me, I worry about my poor old battery
I’m going to get this new app anyway, looks like a proper job.
I still want an AUbu Dhabi, but I guess as of the 20 something-th, not so much.
@ElliottGarage Is it able to handle stereo sampling e.g. as an AU effect, with live stereo input e.g. in AUM, or would it sum to mono? If the latter, I think this could be a dealbreaker for me unfortunately.
@craftycurate the sampling keeps the original input format....if the input is stereo the sample will be stereo
this is def a must have, wow impressive!!!
will it be possible to record into the app directly or is it strictly sample import. sorry if i missed this but i can’t read every post as i’m working 😎😎
Therein is much of the magic with this one. It goes in the FX slot and can record all source audio. Paired with the automated feature to smooth out clicks and pops? No brainer!
Brilliant - thanks for letting me know
excellent!!!! will be very useful to set up that way to do resampling and such
Preordered! I’m old school... Reminds me of Propellerheads Recycle!
Thanks @ElliottGarage , preordered!
One question I think nobody asked: can the slices "overlap"? I mean can I have for example two slices with the same or some part of the same region? for example slice 1= "first hit" and slice 2 = "same hit less some attack + second hit"
If not, would be feasible for an update? its important for my workflow
I’ve never preordered an app, but I’ll make an exception for this one Elliot!
Andrea 🤣
Yes please.
preordered and waiting impatient lol
Thank you as well.
Preordered but I wish you’d think again about the midi thing @RockySmalls asked about. That was my workflow with Dr.Rex in Reason, a fast and easy way to get a lot of variation out of a loop with accurate, repeatable results
Thankfully this app can do old-school tempo matching as well,
When ‘Warp’ is disabled the playback-speed/pitch is adjusted to match the host tempo when host sync is enabled thus there is less need to do manual fine pitch adjustments in order to match the tempo.(It works the same way as the AUM built-in file player when host tempo is adjusted).
Sure there’s a bunch of ‘nice to have’ things still missing but adding too much bloat would take away the much of instant funfactor. It’s no Ableton Simpler or Logic Quick Sampler but it still fills a void on iOS
@ElliottGarage Congrats on the new release!
I’m really hoping you are open to these suggestions. It sounds like this is really close to taking on the big boys. Having this kind of sampler on iOS has become almost mythical! 🧞♂️
Good luck!!
No walled garden IAP nickel and diming. Sold.
Chè, si chiama Andrea? Pensavo fosse Elio! 😂
Midi file export for transient sliced loops ?
16 slices max ?
@Lil_Stu07 @supadom finalmente qualche italiano!
@topaz no midi export, 16 slices max
