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.

Tutorial video: create your own Thumbjam instruments from WAV samples.
As per a discussion we had on a different thread, I put together a quick rundown video on how to make your own Thumjam instruments. The samples I used in the video came from the Waveformless blog, which has loads of freebies.

Thank you Captain Coloo!
Here's the video:
I forgot to mention that after you create the instrument, you can delete the WAV files from the folder you put then in, since it copies them to a sub-folder.
Very useful. Thanks a lot!
@Coloobar, Your timing is excellent, just what I was looking to try, many thanks.
Thank You
Thanks
Cool - and very clear explanation.
Thanks! I was surprised to see it didn't recognize the notes from the file naming, but I just realized it might require an _ instead of a - before the note name to work. So, Wurly_A3.wav should auto detect the note assignment, for instance. I should make that a bit more lenient.
Thanks for sharing that @Coloobar.
@sonosaurus - can instruments and presets be shared?
Awesome vid, @Coloobar. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
Thanks a lot Coloobar, really useful and nicely made:-)
Thanks! Great idea. Question, is it possible to load up Soundfont files to TJ to create instruments via audioshare?
I found some really awesome Korg soundfonts.
No, as mentioned in another thread, ThumbJam doesn't load soundfonts (yet). But there are several other apps that do, and you can always use TJ as a controller to send midi to those other apps to play them.
Check this other thread, Musik, where we talk about extracting the wav files from a soundfont in order to make TJ instruments: http://forum.audiob.us/discussion/7117/favorite-sound-fonts
Nice job on the video. Especially the confident narration.
