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.
No App Left Behind 2022
Continuing in the tradition of others who created this thread in 2020, and 2021, I wanted to bring it back to life for 2022 to make sure any apps that don’t get mentioned have a place to be shared.
These are mostly newer apps that don’t get their own thread. They can be a little older if you think they slipped through the cracks. All are welcome to share. Cheers!
