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.

auSCOPE X by auDSPr - Released

edited June 2021 in General App Discussion

https://apps.apple.com/app/id1524867812

Description:

auSCOPE X is the Smart Audio Oscilloscope that lets you see your sound clearly and quickly. Its Two Channel Design lets you look at stereo audio waveforms in real time in glorious pixel-accurate resolution.

auSCOPE X has a sophisticated, full-featured Trigger System which allows you to capture a wide variety of audio signals quickly and easily. It’s FAST - the carefully thought out engine yields absolute minimum latency from when you HEAR your sound to when you SEE its waveform, so your user experience is snappy and satisfying. The simple yet powerful interface is designed for precise, intuitive control over your traces. It’s VERSATILE - auSCOPE X works as either an AUv3 Audio Unit Extension or a Stand-Alone App.

Whether you're a beginner who's just learning sound or a seasoned audio expert, auSCOPE X is an Essential App in your Audio Tool Box.

We hope you enjoy it and we’re excited to see the cool things that you do with auSCOPE X!

  • Looks like AUGenX is significantly cheaper at the moment too.

  • Does this have ‘Lissajous’ mode??

    You can still try it out for free:

  • I hope to see at least one more beta before it drops.
    (To check that the reported issues have been 'fixed').

    I've always wondered what AuGenX does that drambo doesn't already in terms of the kind of raw, experimental sound design it's used for in music

    One advantage is that everything is there on one screen, no need to add modules here and there and patch around :)

    (It's mess around by DJ Puzzle, gives a quite good picture of the app).

    Okay, I've tried the beta.
    It's only got a standard oscilloscope.
    For my purposes I need a Lissajous display.
    I've already got two in MiRack but I'm thinking
    about a dedicated app for the stuff I'm doing.
    Saying that, it's quite smooth and accurate.

    If one needs a straight forward oscilloscope
    then at the preorder price it's a good deal.

    Be sure to send the feature requests via TestFlight feedback :)
    You never know what will happen, maybe you'll get your wishes granted hehe.

    Good suggestion.

    I didn't think of that. 😏

    Edit.

    Message sent.

    Doesn't hurt to try!

    I mean even for this app I got some UI related requests fixed and it was like what >6 months ago since the previous beta.
    Same deal for auGen X way back in time...

    The Lissajous thing could be a cool addition to the regular two waveforms as would a 'spacial scope' which makes it easy to see the differences between the left and right channels using straight diagonal line if they are equal.

    I would even go as far as to say that a spectrum analyzer would be pretty handy as well :)

    Cheers!

    After putting together the Light synth and then the Tesseract synth
    the first thing I look for now is Lissajous mode.
    If it doesn't have it? then I don't need it.

    If they implement it, then it's all good. 🙂

    You should try the Oscilloscope and Spectrogram app by Mani Consulting, it can do nice xy plots.

    I've seen it before and it's the only other auv3 oscilloscope that does
    Lissajous mode alongside MiRack which as mentioned before has two.

    Does it have full screen mode?

    I don't think there's anything auGenX is capable of that couldn't be achieved in Drambo. What appeals to me about auGenX though is the same thing that appeals to me about apps like Fundamental - they're weird, limited apps that force you to get creative with what you have. They kind of get you to think outside of the box to make music. It makes me think of what it'd be like in the 50's and 60's. I don't have auGenX yet, because the price never seemed justifiable to me. I'd like to get it for no other reason than to work it into a 'virtual test equipment' set up I have in mind.

    Yes, almost. You can slide the control panel aside. It still displays the graph scales along the side and bottom.

    Okay, if it’s only the graph scale?
    I can handle that.

    The oscilloscope that I’ve seen that would do what I need isn’t auv3,
    it’s from FaberAcoustical here’s the link

    https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/signalscope-basic-2020/id1520683649

    What I like about the one from FaberAcoustical are the visuals.
    It’s very clear and concise.

    What I don’t know is how it would interact with audio apps.
    It doesn’t mention IAA or auv3 though it could possibly work with external audio interfaces.

  • apematrix has a nice oscilloscope with xy that can be loaded as it own au

    Does not seem to work as IAA, AudioBus or AU.
    There are lots of similar Apps, but without connectivity quite useless to me.

    Agreed.

    Otherwise I would’ve got it already.
    I’m patiently waiting for the “one”.
    I’m quite satisfied at the moment with the ones
    in MiRack though they could be sharper.

    The visuals from auDSPr are really sharp.
    If it had had Lissajous I would’ve got it instantly.

    Eh, The novelty of oscilloscopes wore off on me a long time ago. Neat, but ultimately useful? I don’t need it for anything on the technical side, so no.Unless I’m missing something, they’re totally overrated (I know that sounds silly, but I don’t know a better way to put it).

  • Lole, just read the user guide and it used “they look cool” TWICE as a reason for “Why I Should Own an Oscillator”. That pretty much settles that. I knew they always seemed pretty self-important, like wearing an armband and visor to show you’re an accountant. “Oh, I’m studying the oscilloscope to see how my synth programming affects the sound.” Yeah, uh huh. You’re watching a line change shape and loudness. It’s like a cartoon for ants.

    lol, just because you don't understand the many uses for a scope, doesn't mean that people just want them 'cause they look cool.

    incredibly useful for seeing what's going on with modulation, attenuation, and offset signals that cannot be heard.

    Also super useful for learning about synthesis, especially for visual learners like myself. Synced waveforms, FM synthesis, additive synthesis, etc make a lot more sense when you can "see" what's going on. I use them when I teach synthesis to kids (and adults!) and it really helps them engage and make sense of concepts that aren't always intuitive.

  • I like AuGenX a lot. Really nice for getting drones up and running, and you can do some nice modulation. Not sure if I need this, though the price is good.

    Then why say that? It was a silly thing to say. Personally, I am still in the market for an oscilloscope. Be it hardware or software. I have a very vague idea what it will be helping me with but then that's true about every single piece of gear I've ever bought. Basically, I want to try to understand sound waves so that I can visualise what I'm doing. This has been incredibly helpful with my Vermona DRM1 Mk 4. Ta daaa! I knew I'd be able to shoehorn my new purchase into a post somewhere.

    Myself also.
    I actually started looking at real physical oscilloscopes.
    One company that was recommended to me was Tektronik.
    I can't remember the model number off hand, I do remember it does x/y mode.

    Congratulations. 🙌🏽

    Now, what does it sound like??

    I had a look and it looks scrumptious. 😁

  • edited May 2021

    @Gravitas It sounds like... it sounds like... it sounds like I have access to every drum sound ever made if only I had enough skill. Honestly, it is the first piece of gear that I've bought that I have had more fun than frustration with from the outset. I've been sitting in front of it, the sound pounding through the monitors, twisting the decay up and down in time, with a huge smile on my face.
