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.

    Thank you very much.. So..
    How do you export Multi-Tracks?
    After Converting to Midi Region (and Pattern Region with 4 bars or less), after editing and Re-Converting back to Drummer Region, there seems to be no change to the Drummer. Is this a bug, or, is this normal? Would be nice to have your edits influence the Drummer..

    Thanks..

    I don’t have Logic on iPad yet but I’m fairly certain this is the way Logic on Mac works so probably that’s just the way it is and not possible. To me it’s not a big deal because I look at the drummer track as a quick way to generate drums and if I need to edit it I convert that to midi and often delete the drummer track after that. Not sure why you need both.

  • Nice Leo
    The summing stack is good
    I like to do a midi clip and have say 3 synths receive the notes and keep changing the presets on each synth till I find ones that work together
    Keep up the great work
    Still learning logic and you’re really helping

    Ok.. hopefully it continues to be developed .. converting to pattern works well also.. all the goodies of probability, repeat, etc.
    Found out how to do multiTrack export.. The Convert> ‘Separate by Pitch Note’ did the trick.. pretty nice..

    Thanks..

  • The tutorials as they come along will show you hopefully everything you need to know; of course there is an element of putting yhings together after you watched so many of them :)

    Btw, seems you didn’t post tutorial 15 about the drum machine designer.
    Resampling a pad (incl its fx) seems like a nice feature (6:50)
