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

    Got it, messing with it now. Interesting, glitchy, unpredictable. You can record keys, knobs, or all, including onboard reverb, delay, compressor and bit crusher, on a continuous overdub into the onboard sequencer, so you can dial the madness up or down. Crying out for a randomise by section and randomise all function.

  • Defo looks my cup o tea

  • what are the fm parameters you can modulate? how many operators?

  • 5 mins play, what do I think. It’s fun and different can see me using this for experimentation. Love the automation yet to get my head around it fully. Love the graphics GUI. Can’t find any presets as yet. Worth the price of a coffee. Yes certainly.

  • Looks interesting. Nearly half a gigabyte according to the appstore. Is it actually a rompler then?

    That’s what I was thinking haven’t found a way to save patches yet in app only via AUM.

    Yeah - the more experienced developers like 4Pockets, Audio Damage, Bram and others seem to make their apps work with much earlier versions of iOS. More potential customers.

    So looks like My Little Pony but more Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

    Hahaha... That should totally be in the appstore description

  • Whelp… @michael_m had me rofling with that, but it’s a pretty bang on description! I just posted results of my first noodle with it to Creations if interested. It’s a very twitchy pony, that’s for sure. :)

  • I wonder what kind of audience the UI designer had in mind when creating this.

    Hey, nothing wrong with trying something different or making a name for oneself on the App Store.

    Congratulations on bringing something new and different to synth apps. Would you like to tell people the story of what inspired you?

    Yes, that would be cool. It’s not often we learn the story behind apps.

  • edited March 8

    @dahliasabin : I’m loving the app! Already made a track with it. And it is the only synth app I have which is a) pink and b) has manga waifus in it. Double win! :)

    My suggestion: per-section randomisers, (including the sequencer) , an overall ‘scramble everything’ randomiser, and an in-app preset manager for sounds and for sequences to capture moments of brilliance.

    Absolutely, it’s different and kind of cool for sure.

    Ahh nice, I think knowing that I might just grab it on my Mac for now and iPad it later when things get smaller…

    Hi :),

    Maybe expose little bit more actual synth parameters?
