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.

Thor MIDI Learn?

Hi there, thor is the synth that actually I kwon better, the only problem is that I can't find a way to assing midi controls to sliders and encoders.
There is a way to assign midi controls to any knob and slider?

  • Hey if you find an answer let me know or even if you find a list of what cc's are assigned would be helpful. I have an axion 49 2nd gen and some of the knobs and faders work but it is random at best.

  • Thor does not implement a learn function, but it has many CCs mapped to the usual suspects and some not so usual (like filter type - not very musical to twiddle that one!).

    Somebody posted the CC list here IIRC. But search is not finding it. I did just happen to DL it into GoodReader though. I'll paste the text here:

  • aargh! Lost the newline formatting. Each line begins with a number if you have the patience.

    Anybody know how to attach a file to a comment?

  • MidiBridge to the rescue when learn is absent, btw. If your controller is short on patches or difficult to program.

  • Thanks for the list. I have 9 sliders and 9 knobs on my axiom with 20 banks and then 9 sliders and knobs on my nanokontrol with 4 banks. I should be able to control them all. Hahaha.

  • bwaa-haha! Ditto my Graphite + nanos + Quneo. Knobby Heaven:)

  • Thank you very much @dwarman.
    Before buying midi bridge I should see If I can change directly the midi values from my master key! ;)

  • I thought about mapping all the knobs and buttons to a hardware button. I am still new to synths and was wondering if there was a top list of parameters to map to start off with learning a synth?

  • Awesome. Now somebody needs to convert the thor section to a nktrl data file so I can upload it to my nanokontrol.

  • Thor MIDI Controller Chart:
    https://app.box.com/s/bg3ham5uyaj4wa3vjobr
    I modified Reason's manual to include only Thor.I hope the same CC's apply to the ipad version!

  • Has anybody a pdf version of the Thor web-page manual?

  • I have an MPK Mini. How could I effectively use it's 8 CC knobs to control Thor?

  • If you can edit the cc values on the MPK then you just need to edit them to send the correct cc message to the corresponding control in Thor.

    I have a nanoKontrol. It is just time consuming to program every knob, fader, and button.

  • But I also want to control Turnado with CCs 1-8.

  • It seems the MPK has multiple programs. Set one program to transmit on one midi channel for Turnado and then set another one to transmit on a different channel for thor. Then you just switch between the different programs to control each app independently.

    I hope that makes sense.

    A quick (and a bit rough) conversion with WEB to PDF app. Sadly, it doesn't keep the hyperlinks.

    what a mess, but better than nothing :)

  • Which synths do have midi learn for parameters such as frequency, resonance, etc.? I think Magellan, but on startup after mapping it seemed to lose the path.

  • I really hope they bring midi learn. All of the serious ios synths have it. If I program my mpk mini to control Thor then I'll have to midi relearn all of my other synths. Come on Propellerheads!

  • @supadom I used to have a MPK Mini but I forgot, does the editor let you save multiple profiles?

  • @supadom, alternatively you could use the MidiBridge Holy Mapper function to map your normal MPK CC assignments for Thor. Useful now MB has config save functions.

  • edited August 2014

    @CalCutta One either would have to load a profile via PC before using it with thor or possibly use a different midi channel with knobs set to specific cc's. Yes midi Bridge is an option but yet another thing to think about. Thor is definitely a great sounding machine and I'm sure one day gets to be a complete synth solution. It is very versatile but totally misses out on the connectivity front. It is a similar situation to imini which I love yet never use live because of it being abandoned.
    I'm happy to have it in the cloud and look forward to the next update.

  • I have been in constant contact with the developers asking about update for Thor, all I got is we working on it. I also think Thor is a powerful synth but due to its lack of features it always get pass by. I don't understand why Thor don't have midi mapping as yet , users been asking for this a long time now. As we touch on Thor I would also talk about Figure, another powerful app but lacking a full ipad version with landscape mode.
    Let's hope they could get it together and start a process of timely update for their Apps.

  • ^ sometimes it feels like Propellerheads made Thor as a proof of concept, and once they finished it, they didn't want to pour resources into it.

    MIDI learn, half-assed IAA, and preset organization are just some of the things I wish would be fixed. It's a pretty amazing synth, I actually ran through ALL of the Thor tutorials with the iPad version to get a handle on it, but it deserves better than the treatment it's been given up to this point by Propellerheads. Work arounds, including having to use a third-party app, are unnecessary when something is properly developed and supported.

  • Sadly, I find myself going to Tera or Z3TA as my go-to synths, because they just work. It's a shame, because Thor has the ability to be just as powerful (more, actually), but if I can't make it play nice with others, then it's going to just sit there and gather virtual dust.
