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.

For those who don’t do FB:
This seems very similar to previous occasions where they said “soon” because they had passed some internal company milestone, and in those cases it took a year or more and some missed release dates to see the product on the market.
I would doubt such a slimmed down version could do anything near the complete specification.
@OnfraySin : well,excuse me for taking up your valuable time, then, you old charmer, you
My vote for the most inscrutable iOS musician App.

I will get an Erica Synths Syntrx II one day... like a VCS3 with patch memory, patch drawing, and randomizer! ❤️❤️❤️
🙌🏅 One day I managed to start from scratch in iVCS3 and got the keyboard to play actual in-tune notes. Never again. It was probably when I was binge-drinking.
Absolutely. Looks like such a cool machine.
If this is around £500 the I don’t know how could say no. The hardest part would be figuring out a space for it to go.
Davypoo has a tutorial that shows how to set up an init patch...follow those instructions, then save it as a preset. That way, you always have a good starting point, making it a HELL of a lot easier
I really like iVCS3, just wish it was laid out like the AKS so it would fit in single horizontal screen
I don’t think I’d want the hardware version of this lol the app is more than enough cos it’s such a quirky synth. I think the matrix would drive me a little crazy too coming from patch cables cos I already get a little frustrated with it on the app. I do love the output of it when I get into a groove with it though
I’ve thought about that as well. Plus apesoft have done such a good job recreating it, it makes me wonder how badly I need it anyway. Though it is one of my all time favorite synths.
Yes a single screen layout would be amazing. And I think pretty essential for modular
To be fair to Apesoft on this, though, because they have the slide-in joystick when you’re on the top half where the knobs are, you’ve pretty much got all the controllers on one screen (keyboard, joystick, knobs) once you’ve patched up the matrix.
You're right and it's the best apart from Ripplemaker (which is much simpler). At least it isn't Model 15...
Yes, that’s true, but it’s the matrix itself which I’d like to see alongside the knobs. I can deal with it though, just mentioning it as a “I would totally buy a reskin IAP” kind of thing.
Hmm, what you can do in software but can’t easily in hardware is to indicate where the patch pin connections of a module connect to, on the module
Imagine the same app as it is now, but with the addition of indications on each module of any patched-in or patched-out connections, so you’d see the patch matrix as it is now, but you’d also see, eg an oscillator with indications of where any modulating signals are coming from, and indications of where the output signals are being patched to – and this for each module where applicable (if a module isn’t patched, this indication doesn’t show)
Ugh Model 15. Sounds excellent but that UI is painful.
