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.

Congrats… I hope you enjoy this app because you can’t pass it down or re-sell. We should organize a million user class action to get Apple to explain how/why they control a digital property after sale.
I use family sharing but IAP’s are allowed if the developer allows it. Again, they assume control over a purchased digital asset. We don’t own these apps… we rent access.
Anti-trust seems like a reasonable legal argument. App security can still be insured if Apple registers the app ownership rights in their databases.
Fair points - though if this was a prize for desktop, pretty sure the dev would be issuing a not-for-resale code 😛
When we talking pianos - a new competitor to the market of non sample based piano plugins:

Sound really great!! 60MB!
Argh… Too bad it’s not on iOS !!
Thanks anyway.
If it’s not on IOS then it’s a candidate to be on IOS. The barrier to move apps between Mac and IOS will be lower and lower overtime. The Same chip makes a huge difference for porting code. Did everyone notice the macs get M2 chips already. If china invaded Taiwan it might impact product deliveries. I assume M Series chips come from TSMC. This new “chips funding seems to target Intel Fabs.
Yes as nice as the sampled pianos sound, the fact is these things will get kicked into the dust once good physically modelled stuff comes to town. 1gb for one instrument on an ipad is asking a lot. So I hope the sample-based teams are prepping to avoid their obsolescence by getting some good PM devs on board. Or there is of course the ability to remain relevant with other cool features (morph pad etc) or extremely good interface design
Yep.
And matters of taste shouldn't end up in scientific discussions.
Even less with piano sounds.
There is no such thing as the piano.
Well said 👏 .
Also just thinking about my previous comment - I guess the other view is that large sampled instruments become less of an issue as ipads with 1TB+ of space become the norm
Be careful when you buy, these guys do not allow refunds...just been knocked back twice by Apple.
I don't think that has anything to do with the seller. It may be that your refund request didn't meet the refund criteria of your region. Eg. The reason you gave for wanting a refund was not acceptable, or you applied too late, or have had too many refunds within a certain period of time. I wish they would give a reason when they reject your claim, it's annoying for sure.
Just like the SWAM physical instrument apps - have around ten of them and they sounds incredible…
Exactly, and each one about maybe 20mb (can't remember exactly, but thereabouts)
Just to let you know Sampleson may have plans to release this on iOS in 2023.
