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.

Multi out auv3 in Logic Pro?
I can find instructions for desktop here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/logicpro/lgcp4ff5d47e/mac
But can’t do this is the iPad version. Am I missing something?
Comments
I didn’t succeed to find it too! Maybe it’s not supported.
Does anyone knows?
Huge oversight if it isn’t supported. It’s something I really rely on for drum processing etc. and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Presumably they’ll add it at some point but who knows!
Have you tried exploring Drum Designer?
Yeah. The fact you can mix and process drums as separate sub tracks will definitely do for now.
Just a weird one for Apple to leave out, but hopefully they’ll add it in soon.
@gregsmith If you create a multi-out setup on the desktop, does it still work on iOS when you copy it across?
I have the trial on MacBook Pro but don’t have any vsts or anything. Haven’t used desktop for music for decades.
Do you do this on Logic Pro desktop at all?
I haven't used Logic for a few years, since I switched to Ableton, but I shall try it. I use the Overbridge AU, which is multi-out. Let me try it.
I can’t get multi-ins AUv3 working either, unless there’s something I don’t understand eg. RoughRider 3 has a sidechain input.
Update - found it. It’d be nice to have more inputs than just another pair.
Ah yes I can see it too. I guess that potentially bodes well for them adding multi-out.
Ironically multi-out is the one feature I’ve been missing in loopy pro which I was looking forward to having in Logic. I really need to just use the drum machine designer thingy but I don’t like the quick sampler as much as Sitala.
There’s always something with iOS 😂
I can’t work out how to get multi out on the drummer track, in desktop you just selected multi out on the channel and there was a plus symbol that you pressed next to the fader that separated the drummer channel into kick, snare etc so you could mix each drum individually, the drum designer on iPad has multi out but no plus symbol to separate the tracks.
It’s not multi out as such. It’s a special kind of track stack where each track in the group represents a drum pad. It uses the native sampler on each track by default but it looks like you can load whatever instrument you want onto each one, so can use a drum synth for your kick or whatever.
Because each drum sound is on its own track, you can add individual fx etc. and each had its own fader channel for mixing.

Excellent thanks, just the info I was after. This was the one feature I was looking forward to most.
Anyone succeed how to use auv3 multi out with Logic Pro or is it not implemented ?
I doesn’t succeed to make it work on the Mac version of logic anymore, very strange
Multi-Output on macOS Logic only working in instrument slot, from day one as much as I know.
Multi-output as it is in AUM / Drambo / Loopy was impossible in Logic. My wet dream was that they will implement full AUv3 multi-out feature with iOS Logic release.
@gregsmith said: Have you tried exploring Drum Designer?
Does Drum Machine Designer work well using longer loops? Specifically sample loops I’ve made myself.
It uses the native sampler on each track by default but it looks like you can load whatever instrument you want onto each one, so can use a drum synth for your kick or whatever.
The trick with 'LP macOS' is to create a "Channel Performance" that you can access more easily later. On the desktop it's not entirely intuitive how you do this, as it's worded "Save Channel Strip as", which only works if you already know what a Channel Performance is. Every DAW worth it's salt has something equivalent, but annoyingly none of them use the same nomenclature.
I don't have my iPad in front of me, so I can't confirm how this works in LP4iP, but I'm sure it's there somewhere.
I’ve succeed to have multi out but only with the multi sampler. I’ve set up the sampler to multichannel on the Mac
Then on the iPad you can create a bus. On the bus input you can find all multi out of the sampler.
I try to replace the sampler for a multi out Auv3 but I didn’t succeed.
I’ve created a proof of concept but only with short drum sounds. It’s probably all I need from multi out in most cases, but we’ll see.
It’s awesome though imo.
Yes!
It worked fine with 4Pockets DigitStix2.
The steps:
I only heard the given channel when the send was “up.”
On iPad?
Just try but any Logic Pro busses only output Digistix bus 1.
Can you make a video, to show us how you proceed?
Thanks
note: It looks like that even if I choose the multi-out version of an AU (just successfully tested GR-16 multi-out) from the beginning, I still have to use ‘replace’ on the plugin and click on the original plugin again allowing me to choose the multi-out version (the other option is ‘stereo’).
Needless to say, every Auv3 instrument will behave differently. In DigiStix2, choose the channel:
Then select the Output Bus:
The Auv3 Output Bus numbers (at least in the case of DigiStix2) correspond to the track’s sends in the order they appear.
I tested it. It does work.
I hope that helps. I don’t have time right now to make a video.
Thanks that’s exactly what I have done , but it doesn’t work for me. I’ve read somewhere it sometimes need to restart Logic. Ill try again.
Never works with AuV3 although the same technics works with the logic’s stock sampler (multi sampled)
I followed the instructions for Drum Computer and it worked straight away. Couldn’t get it working for Pure Acid though. Probably just something I’m doing wrong.
Yes now it works after restarting Logic and most important I replace the AUV3 plugin with itself, then choose multi out version. Now it works!!
Thanks for your help.
The restart seems necessary for some reason - got it working for Koala Sampler.
I didn’t need to restart or replace for Drum Computer. For some reason multi out was there straight away.
