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 Store

Audiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

Piezo i 44.1kHz

Inspired by this thread.

https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/39922/drambo-audio-to-midi-tricks#latest

I ordered some piezo's which turned up yesterday.
Since then I've soldered them to repurposed cables and jacks,
plugged them into my Zoom U-44 using a Behringer Q802usb mixer
as a preamp and Behringer SRC2496 for the extra inputs via SPDIF.
I then developed a quick template in AUM hosting

dRambo by @giku_beepstreet
Atmosphere Cloud Reverb by @Blue_Mangoo
Modal from Spectrum by @burns_audio
Kosmonaut by @brambos
Gliderverb by Amazing Noises

I recorded the live performance onto a Yamaha PR7 at 24bit/96kHz

Copied back into the ipad and then converted to 44.1kHz
using AudioShare and finally uploaded onto Souncloud.

The link is here.

Thanks to all for the inspiration.

    I won’t pretend I know exactly what’s going on - but it sounds good!

    Years ago I made something similar (multipad surface with piezos), but I wasn't too happy with the crosstalk and the level of expressiveness.
    Recently been looking at some multi zone pads but then decided against it and just bought Sensel Morph.
    MPE and the controller aspect are definitely useful benefits. Also it can be customised f.e. as a multi midi pad with 3 (x,y,z) additional controls (CCs on top of velocity) for additional expression.
    Can't wait to test it with D :)

    Glad to hear it got the desired effect.
    Thank you for listening.

    I had a look at Sensel Morph, it looks like a lot of fun.

    The D is getting a lot of attention, I must say.

    For myself, I'm now looking for a simple controller with assignable knobs.

    Whoah, that is awesome. I finally bought drambo, going to have to explore this. Great job!

    There are some great latin drumming patterns in your tappings. You build excellent grooves manually.
    That takes a good sense of time and coordination.

    I'm inspired to plumb my iPhone into my iPad. I'll make something like this with the legendary Impaktor
    on the iPhone.

    Then maybe dig into the Drambo options too to see if they can create similar percussion instruments
    that inspire me.

    I learnt Latin percussion first so I do have a tendency to
    play more Latin based rhythms especially in my phrasing.
    I hear it a lot when I'm playing African rhythms.

    Thank you.

    I'm going to be uploading some patches onto patchstorage soon.
    Amongst them is going to be some dRampaktor instruments.

    One of them is called ,'Squish'.

    I'm currently completing a Drambo processor for the Burns modular apps.

    I was going to do some patches for those apps but I thought it pointless.
    What's more useful is being able to modulate them,
    then whomever can tweak as they so wish.
