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.

Touché I suppose.
But 2 other pre-existing threads with near-identical names should have raised at least a little suspicion that this one might be satirical...
Now everybody stop moaning and @Michael if you don’t mind please close this thread as it clearly is going the opposite way to what was intended
At least someone gets it
I guess, it's Cucumber time between big releases.
I'll love Drambo with multi-out. Multi-out is the feature of the year!!!
AUM / @j_liljedahl be praised. 🙏
What about Drambo with AuV3 hosting?
@jolico We'll see re: hosting. It'll be impressive for sure.
I'm more of a AUM-bian right now, vs a Drambite. I'll change my iOS religious affiliation if it suits me.
No worries, bit subtle for us fly-by posters.
It’s like an Orthogonal Devices ER-301 for ipad. But with a better interface and better samplers. 👍🏻
How do I love Drambo? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of tune
For the ends of being and ideal pace.
I love Drambo to the level of every day's
Most ambient need, from day to midnight.
I love thee freely, as a GrooveBox maker.
I love thee purely, as i tune FlexiSampler.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old samples, and with my childhood's mirth.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my abandoned apps. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after MultiOut.
Seriously. It's getting annoying the backlash Drambo is receiving for actually being a solution to numerous problems. It's like if people suddenly got up in arms every time Mozaic was offered as a solution or when someone said 'oh, a script can be written for that'.
Drambo is still a new and not fully understood concept to most people who hadn't followed its development for the past couple years. I think it has a reputation of just being another modular, albeit a different approach to the format. It's not yet common or accepted knowledge that Drambo is a valid midi utility that can perform necessary and useful functions such as - filtering, remapping, keyboard splits / zones, arpeggiation, transposition, midi fx such as retrigger and chase, CC smoothing, custom CC controllers, macro support, midi monitoring and more. Hell, it can even be a simple oscilloscope. Most of those functions are just single modules, or in some cases a small handful. There are entire apps dedicated to tackling just a single one of those functions. This is why Drambo is being offered in so many scenarios. It does the job, and it doesn't require bizarre workarounds or deep modular experience.
So Drambo doesn't need to be a groovebox, or a modular synthesizer at all. It doesn't even need to produce any sound on its own. It can be a simple sequencer, midi looper, or midi event processor. It's light, cpu efficient, and can cover tasks that used to require custom scripts - which is even harder than modular for most people to grasp. Anyway, there is a new utility app in town, and it should be accepted for the utility that it is.
All you Drambo lovers should post more in https://forum.beepstreet.com/categories/drambo
It'll get a lot warmer with the upcoming analog filter emulations. I'd love some more distortion algorithms as well personally. But yea maybe wait until these things are released and try again?
Because people would rather surf the internet than make music. Wait, what?
And Dr___bo haters should spend more time in https://www.mobilemontessori.org/
Mmmm, the anticipation of the big release.
I bought on release to support an awesome developer during crazy times in the world, but haven’t used it yet for many of the reasons listed here. But it’s an aspiration. It may have to wait until I get an iPad to use late this year - I think the iphone version would be too challenging overall given the scope of the app. It’s also possible that modular just isn’t my thing, but too early to call that one. I can say the modular apps with wires aren’t my thing.
Spending more time with my 2 basic hardware synths will continue to help my fundamentals - can’t recommend having at least one hardware synth enough if you want to get better at synthesis, even simple 1:1 ones like I bought.
We are all Drambo
Because Drambo
Drambo is love
I think “don’t love” and “hate” are vastly different.
I think Drambo is super neat. I think it has given a lot of people something they were missing and will ultimately lead to more creativity in our little slice of the music world.
I guess I read this as more of a “what is keeping you from using Drambo”. Which I think is probably a cool topic because I think there are a lot of people who want to be into Drambo because it sounds cool. But ultimately it’s not for everyone. It’s a the tool of an advanced hobbyist. It’s great for the people it’s made for. For everyone else, grab Lagrange, Continua, and Shockwave and just go at it.
Idead for tommorow thread: Why do you love Drambo but don't use it?
I love Drambo because it delivered on making Impaktor even more powerful.
Yes, sure!
Depends on what you think is a "solid nice warm deep bass"... Examples please!
Drambo is not like miRack where you have some very advanced modules containing a lot of functionality.
Drambo is made to build stuff with small, simple modules instead, naturally often requiring more modules to build the same thing. But it's more flexible this way.
That's the thing. It's not. p
You open Sunrizer or Zeeon and you have a ready-made synth that only requires a few knob turns to make one of the presets sound great.
You open Drambo and you have an empty workspace.
But on patchstorage.com, you'll find a number of very good synths and effects if you only spend the time loading, understanding and working with them a little.
This forum and http://forum.beepstreet.com/ are still good places to ask for help, and
https://patchstorage.com/platform/drambo/ is a huge resource of examples (now 178 user creations!), plus a number of well-made videos mainly on Youtube.
All of this can be had for free although many hours of quality work and dedication have been invested into all that, but some folks would probably value it more if it was rather expensive stuff to purchase, dunno...
@rs2000 Thank you for the reply!!!
Hey indeed, I know that @horsetrainer had plans to do exactly that one day 😉
What a surprise, state an opinion, which you even start with "Why I" notice the I there, and the fanbois still have to jump on you with insults, for having an opinion, nice one all seeing overlord, we shall all deem to have the same opinion as you, or live in fear of your special brand of extremely weak insults, deadmau5 indeed.
It's still a work in progress (Vintage synth emulation in general). My Jupiter 8 studies led to OB-X and Prophet 5 research, which in turn led to the "Voice Layers Module" request I posted about in the Wish-List section of the Drambo forum this morning.
Maybe it's time to take a fresh look at Jupiter 8 emulation. I might be able to make more successful second attempt from what I learned by doing two months of Voice Layer experiments.
