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.

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

    Nice creative setup!
    Is Thumbjam your central sound and riff engine?

  • Wow that was supercool, enjoyed the song and the performance :)
    Cool usage of all the drum trigger pads and the ‚Touche‘ controller.

  • Thanks guys.

    I’m using thumbjam just for voice to midi conversion. It works really well. I listed all the apps and their functions in the info below the video.

  • Fun! It would be great if you could run some captions in the vid saying what you are doing at each moment. Maybe most folks know what you are doing, but I sure don't! And the apps do not list when you post on the forum. Thanks!

  • That’s a good idea for when I post videos on this forum.I meant the info below the video if you see it on YouTube .

    Love this one.

    Are you converting the sound from Impaktor to MIDI as well?

  • No just from the microphone. The impaktor and both wavedrums are sending audio to Ableton live where I am heavily processing them. I will copy my setup notes from the YouTube video to the forum soon. It explains some things.

    Thanks. I'd love to know the pitch/scale settings you're using in impaktor. What you're doing sounds like music while I'm just getting random notes in a scale. :lol:

    That’s a clever idea. Couldn’t figure out what you were doing with the mic...

    I don’t think I’m doing anything special settings wise. Higher pitches from higher velocities. I try to use a lot of dynamics and different material (metal and rubber). Also I only use it for improvised parts and not for parts that need to be repeatable. I also get lucky.😄

  • Very cool setup!
    Can you tell me about the rings you are wearing?
    What material are they? Are they used for the wavedrum rim to give more attack?

  • Metal cut from pipe clamps from Home Depot. In general it’s just another way of getting a brighter timbre into the physical modeling drum synths. They use external audio as a source for their synthesis as opposed to triggering oscillators/samples.

    Thai is brilliant. Never thought of that!
