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.

Instead of using two glides, try the Unison module after the CV Glide module.
The Unison module has detune for oscillators inbuilt.
Thank you! I finally got it going taking your advice. Then I added a graph envelope to gradually bring them in tune.
I have a Drambo AU hosted on track one of a Drambo project. The AU is used as a drum machine.
I want to be able to p-lock a step in the AU to send its audio to the reverb return (track in the main Drambo instance.
The thing is, I can’t just press the sequencer step in the AU drambo and twist the FX send knob in the host drambo. I imagine there is some way to do this though. Any ideas?
Maybe, use Drambo 8 Outs as the AU plug-in. Use the second output to send, twist its knob in the AU to record the p-lock.
Very cool.
I'm glad it's happening now.
Also which AU drum machine are you using?
It's time to replace my good old iPhone 8 Plus.
Does the camera notch of newer iPhones obscure/disturb any controls when Drambo is running in landscape format? It would be great if one of you could post a screenshot.
No, that area is simply not used, this is from my iPhone XR:
I’m using the Drambo AU as the drum machine. This is so I can use the Drambo sequencer, but keep the drums on one track of the main app.
And thanks @uncledave! I will try the 8-outs trick.
Ahhh....
You could send through a cc message/s using the cc generator in dRambo main
or bear in mind, you could use a cv signal in via the audio or cv input.
Ha! I knew there would be lots of ways to do this. I have a few ideas now. I like the simplicity of using the multi-outs
That's what I was hoping for. Thanks!
The Drambo Multi 8-out AU is the perfect drum machine to use in Drambo as the host.
I use it (and/or any other “multi audio out” AUs) on the main track mixer view, then allocate 8 tracks for each of the 8 drum sounds. This way each drum sound can have their own individual effects etc (eg. a gated reverb on the snare, a compressor on the kick, some delays on the hats etc etc)
Yeah, there's loads ways.
Cool.
Myself also when it comes to drums.
I’m courious why you would multi-out when using Dambo as a AU drum machine when Drambo has a lot effects itself.
Unless of course you wanna use fab filter, rymdigare or some other fx sweet heart app. Then I get it. I’m just courious if there are other reasons 😊
Multi-out to route the tracks to the host Drambo, not to other apps!
Semi advanced sidechaining,
Ipad 9.
Maybe not using a DAW or even audio, then effects. As sidechaining seems to shape sound also. Effects at midi stage.
Thinking if I sidechain synths.
Am using Drambo compressor.
Do other compressors sidechain as frequency zones?
So if a synth plays a low key it will only sidechain and a high key not?
And will app be multiout in drambo.
Or if you need to sidechain a synth. I think you need to put compressor next to synth and then sidechain in Drambo mixer.
Do you need a compressor for every synth ( if theres an actually an app, with frequency zone sidechaining )
?
( I have only setup Drambo sidechain ) So not sure if TB ( transparent ) is frequency zones. Or if you have to setup for every synth or if its multiout etc )
Sorry folks maybe a repeat but I coulndnt find with search. How would you make more than 2 sends on the channel? Without tons of auxiliary amp modules and knobs..I need 4
Hello! I am new to this forum and it is very difficult for me to go through all 55 pages .... Maybe someone has already suggested this, but I will ask for these features:
But without all this, Drambo for me is probably the most indispensable app on the iPad. Starting from MIDI control and ending with the creation of unique instruments. Thank you for this!
To add more Auxes create the amount of auxes you want by adding more Tracks
on the Main Track sequencer and on the individual Tracks add the Audio Input module
and route the output to the Tracks that you’ve created as returns.
Here’s a screenshot from my current project with an extra send channel labelled “C”.
Have a look at the Components window here’s a screenshot.
There are the Gate+Vel and CV Sequencers available in the Misc/Utility section of the modules menu.
You can modulate the direction whichever way you please.
Screenshot.
The Graphic Modulator was used but you can also use
other LFO’s and the Time modules again in the Misc/Utility section.
Are you possibly looking for this?
Polyphonic aftertouch and channel pressure has a module in the Midi section
and MPE isn’t ready yet at this moment in time.
Thank you! I know thsi function, and i can program main sequence direction... But this could be achieved simply by some button in the sequence parameters, and also duplicated in comp mode, it would be much more convenient. For example, I could turn on sequence inverting from some step, and from some step jump to another random step. Now i can jump only to specified steps.
Yep, i know about it and use Graphic Modulator every time) But where is direction in sequencers?
Nope) I mean simple function with IF/THEN/ELSE operators.
Thank you! I find it! But im wait for full MPE support, to record MPE parties with polypitch, CC74 in main sequencer.
Huge thanks! You helped me a lot, I always learn something new! Despite having a lot of experience with modular synths and little experience with the Max/MSP and PD environment, I still wondering at the limitlessness of this app.
Yeah, I hear you.
The other evening I wanted to reverse a midi "Clip" that I had recorded
and I realised that I needed to jump through some hoops so
I moved on to something else.
A simple reverse or random button would've been welcome but
in the nature of dRambo we sometimes have to build our own.
Talking about that, shameless plug here,
I designed a drum machine based upon the Korg Volca dRm the other day.
I was window shopping for one and then ended up designing one in dRambo.
Now I can buy other stuff.
If you look on the Graphic Modulator it shows "Speed" and it's +1-.
+1 is forward and -1 is backwards.
Okay cool.
That's one for @rs2000 and @bcrichards
Cool.
I actually don't use MPE.
Whenever I need expression I pick up my guitar or something.
No worries.
I had no experience with either and then I discovered dRambo
and I'm still wondering at the limitlessness of this app.
Welcome.
Gravitas=boss
Yep) A few days ago, I understand that I was missing the classic LPG module with vactrol lag in Drambo and made it myself. That's the miracle of Drambo, jf course)
Yeah, so many of us have variations on the LPG module.
Processing in Drambo works on signal level like in a modular synth.
A few possible ways come to mind:
@rs2000 thanks! this should really help. I try it today)
How is midi export coming along?
Not yet a high priority feature. If you need it now, a good way to export MIDI is hosting LK as a MIDI processor and record and export your work there.
Since Drambo is pattern based and MIDI files are linear, LK is a good option as it supports pattern lengths up to 999 bars so you can record a full song there.
MIDI Tape Recorder is good for that too. Less distraction than LK IMO if all you want to do is capture the MIDI and export it.
