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.

    • Clear transport and system MIDI control mappings on CLEAR session.
    • AUv3 main param knob: use AUParameter stringFromValue if kAudioUnitParameterFlag_ValuesHaveStrings is set.

    • APF node: fix default values.
    • Fix faulty report of latency compensation buffer overflow when having mix bus feedback.
    • Fix backwards compatibility when importing channels with plugin preset load actions.

    • Don't show sample rate error message if it actually worked.
    • Read AUv3 currentPreset property after init/stateLoad.
    • Automatically mute input nodes if they change from external to built-in microphone, to avoid feedback.

    MIDI

    @j_liljedahl looking good! 😎👍🏼

  • GdubGdub

    Can’t wait!!

  • NeuMNeuM

    Wow. Those are a lot of changes.

  • Edward_AlexanderEdward_Alexander

    Wow!

  • ZhuangziZhuangzi

    Any big things buried in that long list?

    I see a lot of very welcome small things, and I'm sure the UI improvements will be top notch.

  • cuscolimacuscolima

    Amazing! The best feature is the tip jar

  • jwmmakerofmusicjwmmakerofmusic

    About time a tip jar was added @j_liljedahl ! Expect some gratuity soon!

    I'm so excited as I planned my next drone Ambient piece to be done right inside of AUM!!!

  • joegrant413joegrant413

    Looking forward to it! My most-used iPad musician app.

  • drewinnitdrewinnit

    WTF? This is huge! I’m excited

  • CarnbotCarnbot

    There are loads of nice improvements in this update, like bypassing nodes frees up processing, node stats and quick viewing of latency and DSP behind each node, Midi Matrix resizing, even a nice dj style filter. The user experience is better than ever :)

  • iOSTRAKONiOSTRAKON

    Good God, man

  • ZerozerozeroZerozerozero

    AUv3: don't process bypassed nodes.
    Does this mean the dsp reading will change as you swipe fx/instruments in and out…or something else?

    Yes and you can see exactly how much each node is using :)

    Is bypass mode assignable to midi cc?

    New node slot long-press menu adds Node Move/Copy/Swap, also between channels.

    That's huge. This opens up some really interesting live possibilities.

    You can bypass nodes via MIDI, yes. That's been there for a long time, not new in this update.

    Niiice, thanks @j_liljedahl, this will make using external keyboards way easier for me

  • grifmxgrifmx

    I will definitely be tipping as setting up a live rig in AUM in one day was mind-opening! Please please never sell to big evil corp ; )

  • SergiuSergiu

    Looking forward to it! Thank you! Tip Tip!

  • McDMcD

    It's great to see continuous update/feature adds for AUM and being able to "Tip" to provide support is a great idea to help justify the effort required.

    TL:DR
    Updates good.
    Tip the developer in the updated app!

    Just found it! Thanks! Don’t know how I missed that! Amazing update, will be making use of tip jar 👍🏻
