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 StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

Just wondering how it's possible you have early access to app :-) I'm still in doubt it is already publicly available in appstore, so trying to found what's your trick
Anyway, enjoy the app, hope you will like Obsidian patches
It is just a first draft, with no effects. The short bit of violin pizzicato was actually from
bs-16i. All other patches are from the IAP Acoustic packs 1 & 2.
With your experience from NS1 you will not need a manual to get started. NS2 has the manual in the Help section, so it's there, ...now.
I couldn't code my way out of a paper bag even if my life depended upon it. I am just a REALLY lucky SOB.
First impressions, really solid in performance, like slick graphical transitions and nice choice of high contrast colour schemes. Everything sounds nice, AUs work as expected. First class file management and browsing. you can’t sample in or record any audio whatsoever as of yet but maybe that will change.No background audio.. No scale lock in the piano roll. No patterns or scenes. So it’s not really a groovebox sampler BeatMaker or DAW. At the moment it feels like a midi workstation with a beautiful builtin synth/sampler engine and AU host.
Surely there must be a Background Audio setting?
Sh#t just found it! Not to worry, it’s under audio settings
HA! I thought you typed that just as a joke! Like the Apple App Reviewer who couldn't figure out that basic function.
just change obsidian oscillator to “sample”, then tap on red button “record” and you will go here.. you can samole from external input ATM
also insite Slate, in samples tab, is “record” option
That is my normal internet home. I usually just lurk here to get the scoop on new apps.
btw i suggest you to go througn in-app manual, its pretty well written, lot of usefull info !
@StevePAL what I mean to say is Audiobus/IAA isn’t an option yet. Sorry it’s 3 AM over here
The manual is absolutely useful
Someone will ask the question, so maybe this will help. On an AU instance you will see on the right hand side what a well coded AUv3 app does. It sends to the host a list of its presets.
When you don't see that list that means the AUv3 app is not sending that info to NS2. That is something that the app dev need to update, and it is beyond Matt's ability to control.
When you don't see the list of presets on the right hand patch browser panel, just go to the apps interface and select from there.
Great track Slam_Cut.
I love that you showed iSem in NS2, still one of my favourites.
I never realised you were one of the beta-testers, I thought you were one of us plebs. Just for that I might not invite you to the launch party I’m holding in my head tonight.
"It's not the dying I tell you, it's the waiting..."
Do we have song monitor when recording a sample? (as in NS1)
No thank you for the chill demo track. Made my day and year!
Ah ok But you know the workaround with loading IAA into AudioShare, then send notes from NS2 to synth and then open recorded audio from AudioShare into Nanostudio and put it to Slate pad, yes ? It just workaround, but it works, you can use sampled materials from IAA synths in NS then ;
There's like a huge freaking playback control for the song on that screen. How could you miss that ?
Scale lock in piano roll, patterns/scenes, and timestretch are my deal breakers.
Still buying it though, because I love the passion Matt has for this.
Are you sure about no patterns though? Can you link clips in the sequencer so they behave like patterns?
Woah. Cool.
Audio FX and automation on the grouped tracks... finally!
Oh! Perdón... XD
Every day my friend! I am as guilty as they come!
Some potential for live mixing here possibly
Of course you can create linked copies of clips ) Just do long press in sequencer to “duplicate” icon at check “linked” button
liked copies have then that white icon in top ledt corner like on my screenshot.. you can also “unlink” any of them in “actions” menu
additionaly you can turn on “cycle” for clip... if you then select such clip (or more clips) and you drag with bottom righ handle, instead od resizing clip it repeats iself
Thanks! We have a lot of great apps to play with. I like that even though iSem is 'old' in iOS terms, the presets are listing correctly so you can just audition them from NS2's patch browser. Convenient. Sh#t!! I really wanted to attend that launch party! I suppose I'll just have to go to work...
Good workaround. Might use that!
Is it possible to add audio tracks into the timeline? Apologise if this has been mentioned already.
This GUI just looks very sleek. I´m also already a big fan of the color cheme.
Now i want to know more about Obsidian. I hope an extended video to showcase the different synthesis types is not far away....so i can start to think about what i will do with it in 3-4 months
We need Dan Worrall on NS2.
