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.

Xequence AU | Pads from Seven Systems Cross-Platform Media Limited
Very nice new AU from Seven Systems. Bought it ππ
Comments
Yes, very nice. I hope it works with NS2.
Yes it does indeed :)
For everyone else: If you're considering getting BOTH Keys AND Pads, you might want to hold out for a little bit because there'll be a bundle for $4.99 for both. I wanted to release that at the same time as the individual apps, but Apple's requirement for manual review even for app BUNDLES caught me a bit off-guard :)
Oh, sehr schön! π
Insta buy both pads ans keys
Next polyhymnia ?....
I hope next is Xequence AU Pianoroll editor πππ»
Agree π Instabuy too
I will wait for the bundle. When does it show in the app store @SevenSystems ?
Only
GodApple knows! Unfortunately it's weekend, but I've seen apps get approved Sat/Sun too so we might be in luck.Thanks for the upcomming bundle hint - i intend to buy them both π
@Cristus @White I have both Pianoroll and Polyhymnia as possible candidates :) I wanted to do the keyboard module first because that doesn't have to deal with MIDI input and a clock / timeline. Sort of as a "proof of concept". :) If everything goes well, and I can collect enough energy to deal with Apple review once more, there should be more AUv3s coming :) (sorry about the Apple comment, but yeah, sometimes it's really hard to digest what you have to cope with there.)
Sounds good, the Xequence pianoroll editor as an AU would be the missing link in IOS for me ππ
@SevenSystems cool π
Any chance to have a xequence AU| chords ... ? π
Well done on your first AUv3 @SevenSystems
agreed that piano roll would be pretty nice to have inside AUM and even NS2 but not quite so urgent. Good luck with Apple review!
Apple are fast - within 24hrs for me just over a week ago, although that was a thursday
Swwweeeeetttt this will be really useful...
What pre programmed drum maps does it come with.. And will it be possible to control bm3 pads via auv3 inside AUM with this??
While I dig KB-1 I really enjoy the width controls in Xequence. Having the pads and keys as AU is great.
You just cannot record midi output into sequencer... BUT you can use "Photon AU" for recording outgoing midi from those plugins, and then just "open in nanostudio" - it saves recorded MID file to NS's Inbox - from there it's jusy about drandrop midi file to sequencer track...
Oh, missed the part about not being able to record the output. That's odd. Thanks for the heads up.
Currently NS2 doesn’t let you record using midi AU/ IAA apps hopefully update soon.
Is this a sampler? Like are you able to assign sounds to pads etc and save it with the au like beathawk, Slate etc?
No, it is a configurable pad surface that can send MIDI notes and thus control other AUv3 apps.

Polyhymnia first! Please, please... π
Sweet list!!
whats the use of this? not trying to be critical but is this just for finger drumming? or am i missing something?
Nope, that’s mostly it. And “that” is great!
The two apps are highly configurable drum pad or keyboard controller surfaces that can be used in any host that supports AUv3 midi. They’re a lot more featured than most host keyboards, and have the ability to set up any number of parameter control sliders alongside.
Maybe you have no use for something like this, but I’m totally psyched about it! π
Small suggestion for @SevenSystems ...
For pads, a “Max at center (vertical only)” would be useful. This would ignore horizontal location in the pad. With narrow pads it’s hard to hit that sweet spot. Also, with glide on, the hits are at low velocity since they come in from the edge.
like i said, it wasnt a criticism..just curious
Yep. I didn’t take it as anything but curiosity.
