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.

    FF creative fx bundle is out. Showing $35 for me but I have Saturn 2. So it would be $17.50 each for timeless and Volcano. Been buying fx lately but I’m gonna have to do this…. If you bought two already you’d get the third real cheap. Maybe someone could chime in with full pricing?

    Damn that was quick. I guess I could have waited one day and got it for much cheaper. Do people ever have luck requesting refunds on these? 😅 not that it’s really that big of a deal

    If I could get just one VirSyn additive synth, which would you recommend? The diversity of overlapping options is kind of confusing. Also, I’m a little hesitant due to the typical VirSyn UI/UX issues, so I’m also open to “get something else entirely.”

    AddStation

    I'd have said AddStation before Cube Synth Pro was released but now definitely go for Cube Synth Pro. Would pay good money for a desktop version @VirSyn - absolutely brilliant Synth

    Got me Poseidon a while back because stupid me thought I could analyze and use my own samples like in the desktop version.
    Only preset models though.
    Is there any additive or wavetable iOS synth from Virsyn that lets you import and work with your own samples like in Nave etc.?

    You can import and use your own samples in Poseidon Synth for iOS. You need to press the plus button in the name of the wav, near the keyboard.

    At least in its IAA standalone app, using AudioShare to import the samples.

    Even more, you can create randomized patches using your library of imported samples.

    Amazing synth, amazing developer.

    While it's a time consuming task, it's feasible to import your entire EXS24 instruments library from Logic Pro into AudioLayer.

    Even more, if you have a Mac and don't want to invest in Logic Pro because you're more into Ableton Live, you can purchase MainStage for 30 euros, which includes the entire instruments library from Logic.

    The caveat is that you need to export in Logic/Mainstage each instrument, one by one, selecting the option of also including the audio files.

    Then, put the EXS24 instrument file into the folder with the samples. Import this folder into AudioLayer, and voila.

    Other consideration is that instruments in which all the samples are included in a long single file, they require a lot of processor power. So there was some audio skips in my iPad 2020 with these large audio files. But they work perfectly on my iPad Pro M1.

    So for 8.99 euros, and investing some hours importing separately each instrument, you can have your whole collection of Logic Pro instruments in your iPad.

    They are included in Logic Pro and in MainStage as free downloads. To export the samples, you need to to access the plugin loaded as an Audio Unit.

    I don't know if someone has prepared the instruments ready for iOS importing online, but if they exist, we're talking about piracy.

    If you only have Windows, there is still an option. That it's to create a Mac OS virtual machine. Create an Apple account. Purchasing MainStage for 30 euros. Installing the app in the virtual machine, downloading the instruments. And then, loading the sampler Audio Unit into MainStage, exporting each instrument one by one as I described. It's incredibly time consuming. And creating a Mac OS virtual machine is also tricky. But there are a lot of good tutorials online. The performance of this virtual machine will be awful, but you only want this to export the instruments.

  • PynchonPynchon

    @MAtrixplan Oh, and I also forgot to mention that of course, there are EXS24 instruments to purchase online.

    But if you only have Windows, I don't recommend this. Because it's tricky to prepare the instrument to be imported into AudioLayer without the Sampler Audio Unit included in Logic/MainStage.

    This John Cage's prepared piano is superb, for example:

    https://bigfishaudio.com/detail.html?325&fb_comment_id=10150315286034409_25661856

    But I needed to export this with Logic, because I wasn't able to import the instrument into AudioLayer, at least with my limited knowledge of the format.

    With other instruments maybe it will be feasible.

    Hi
    I have a problem which prevents me to purchase FF creative fx bundle with the sign “the item is currently being modified”

    Only way is to wait for a while...

    Don't know if it was 'intended' or a 'glitch' that my bundle update was 'free' (Previously I had punched both Timeless 3 and Saturn 2 at their initial launch-prices).

  • BujarBujar

    I also have the Timmeles3 and Saturn2 purchased at their initial launch prices.
    I had the same problem with other bundles from FF

  • BujarBujar

    Maybe its the appstore restriction for specific region

    Do I understand correctly that this is a way of indirectly having Mainstage on iPad? How flexible is instrument browsing in AudioLayer?

    oh man, iOS music making is just great, I felt like I've completely lost myself on a sale shopping spree, throwing money left and right, buying plugins on a hunch without even exploring the previous buy, and then I look at my bank account, really scared, and it's like... ok that was less than the cost of a 2nd hand volca.

    No tagging, but you can organize the instruments in folders.

    Can the pianobook EXS24 be imported and used in AudioLayer with little to no hassle? Unlike the DecentSampler downloads that seem to end in all sorts of crashes. If yes, then I should pick up AL in this sale:)

    I can confirm that this works but I did it only for a few instruments. I also imported all the SFZ files from Loopop’s contest into AudioLayer with very good results.

    The only thing that was troublesome for me is the iCloud instrument sync. Importing EXS24 instruments via the iCloud import folder resulted in unreliable AL instruments when iCloud had deleted them locally and downloaded again. I turned iCloud off in AL and switched to copying them over to the iPad and then move them to AL‘s local import folder.

    Get AL now during the sale. I think it’s the most advanced iOS sampler for instruments. It has great envelopes and filters, including a ladder filter. You can really do some serious sound design with it.

    Thanks @krassmann, sounds promising. I suppose the BM3 sampler is still the most powerful on iOS, but it's good to have AUv3 and EXS24+sfz import.
