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.

For now yes there's only white noise, but using oscillator algorithms you can filter that inside the oscillator without using the filters: Use spectral algorithms: Lowpass, highpass, lowshelve, highshelve, etc.
Do some of you know the „FM“ knob in Serum? How can I do it in SM2?
I wonder also that there are no slope settings for the filter😢
Brilliant did not thought of that
Think its an UI bug i had them once but now they dissapeared
Ahhhh...ok...that’s good!
Yep same here.
x2
how do you route audio into synthmaster 2 in order to use vocoder?
set Osc PM input to one of the following inputs: Mod 1, Mod 2, Mod 1+Mod2, Mod 3, Mod 4 or Mod 3+Mod 4.
Then, modulate volume of the Mod(s) with envelopes/etc.
Additional info: You can actually connect mods to other mods and modulate their phases. You can even connect Mod1+Mod2 to Mod3 or Mod4. and a Mod can be connected to itself (self modulation). This way, you can create many Yamaha DX7 algorithms
That's a UI bug. will fix asap.
Absolutely, some really nice sounds here!

Hi all, just submitted v0.9.7 to Apple for review. The download size is 704 MB. Hopefuly they should review it in 24-36 hours.
New Features in v0.9.7:
Bug Fixes in v0.9.7:
MPE support would be wonderful. It's an incredible sounding synth but MPE would add an extra dimension.
@kv331audio_bulent : will there be/is there a way to remove user-imported wavetables and samples in the new synth?
is there a way to do so (remove user wavetables) in Synthmaster One that I've overlooked?
Is that a beta tester release or a public release to Apple for review?
Keen port all my desktop presets over to iOS :-)
@soundtemple This is a beta release. Such an amazing synth, I understand your excitement
I played around with it the whole weekend, amazing doesn't do it justice. I think this will be the goto synth if you want something really deep on iOS.
Hi Bulent,
700MB is… quite large for a synth plug-in. I suspect many potential users with limited storage would be grateful for a slim download where content could be added as an optional download.
More generally this synth looks like it will be a powerhouse workhorse!
That's not possible yet, but I'll try to come up with a new popup dialog to manage/edit existing content.
Why did you assume that SynthMaster does not support MPE? It does!
Go to settings, set Global/Preset Midi Channel to MPE, Pitch Bend range to 48. You can also map CC74 (generated by MPE controllers) to CC1 under "Audio & MIDI I/O". SynthMaster also supports MPE Global Channel, Channel 1 messages are used for that. Channels 2-11 are used for MPE voice messages. In MPE mode, all Mono presets are Mono per MIDI Channel. So essentially they're poly.
Yes, featurewise it is equal to the desktop version, with only one exception: Polyphony is limited to 16 voices per layer. (this was the same limitation for SynthMaster One iOS as well but 16 is well enough).
Ah ok thanks. When I go to "Show Settings>Audio Engine" and click on "MIDI Channel>Global", I can see the options from "Preset" down to "Omni", and that seems to be it on my 2018 iPad. Sure enough though, that list scrolls down to show "MPE" and a few other options - it just doesn't look like a scroll bar on my iPad...
I spot two more differences:
Make wavetables out of waveforms
reorder effects without deleting them
But those are minor things. This beast is absolutely insane and ahead of anything on the platform.
Unfortunately the filters are still Buggy (slopes and keytracking) on some filters on 12.9. But on other filters they work perfect now.
Also the delay and Filterbank have an Ui bug on the global Fx Page on my device.
Arrived, the IAP update process is smooth, too, it looks and plays well, thank you. (Still crackles on Air 4, but that's the iPad issue.)
One minor note: "Yuli Yolo" is spelled incorrectly in all the descriptions, including your comment above, but it's correct in the preset browser where it counts, so no biggie.
I submitted a bug that I had troubles downloading the IAPs, you can ignore that, I somehow didn't have the newest version. I had to manually update through Testflight, then it worked.
So there is a total of just over 4.000 presets in the app with the big bundle and the desktop presets. That's borderline insane
The newest build crushes on startup. Anyone else experiencing this? Perhaps I should reinstall.
edit: fresh install solved the issue.
I'm analyzing the crash logs. Hopefuly those will be fixed in the next build.
@kv331audio_bulent There seems to be some issues with cloud sync. At least, It’s not working fully for me.
Sync presets via the cloud works from the latest desktop version (running on windows) to the iOS version but not the other way round.
If I sync the desktop version, it finds iOS presets and downloads them (it shows, them downloading in the status window and they show up in the preset folder as patchname.smpr) but they don’t show up in the preset browser.
Anyone else experienced this?
I think I know the reason for that. Since we haven't updated the desktop version yet, it has a lower version compared to iOS right now. and because of that version difference, presets with higher versions don't show up on the preset browser. This will be resolved when we update the desktop version as well.
