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 Store

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

    Does Ableton Export do ‘chain’? Seem to only be exporting ‘1 pattern’ per Ableton export..

    Midi recorded into Xequence llive from a GR16 jam...

    The recorded midi can be turned around so that it plays back in GR-16, which could be a solution to the request for recording mutes. What I’m doing is setting up Xequence to record GR-16 performances. Any mutes done live in GR-16 result in no midi being recorded in Xequence at that time. I can basically jam out for as long as I like and then play back what I did in GR-16 just as it was ... including automation.

    You just have to remember that when you play back the midi, you don’t want any pads muted in GR-16. If they’re muted, of course nothing will play back.

    It takes a lot of time to set up 16 output channels matched to 16 input sources, so I saved an empty project as a starting point. I just load the “template” project, then save-as with a new name so that I don’t overwrite the template. Oh - and you probably want to turn off record quantize in Xequence so GR-16 swing, etc. is preserved.

    I’m going to try posting an AB3 preset that has everything already set up. Don’t know if it’ll work though, I’ve had trouble transferring a few presets between devices with Xequence. If it doesn’t load the project, then I’ll post a zip file of the project itself.

    AB3 is the ideal way to go with this IMO. Set Xequence to a one-bar count-in with metronome. Switch over to GR-16, then press the REC button for Xequence in the AB3 toolbar. When you hear the metronome count-in hit play in GR-16 (not Audiobus). Recording will start in sync. Jam away, and when done stop Xequence from the AB3 toolbar.

    Workin’ great here. ymmv.

    Thing of beauty ...

    nice Tip, but is mute recording on the way?

    Only in xequence smh

    You realise it’s a looped pattern?

    No any plans for mutes currently. Upd: in Song mode you'll be able to store different mutes in each song pattern.

    Good enough...

    And, I second a poster’s call for a desktop version..

    Thanks for making this...

  • RajahPRajahP

    It’s all about the music...

    Song Mode will be incredible..

    In pattern mode, you have only one set of mutes per pattern. In Song mode, you'll have your own set of mutes for each time the pattern appears in a song.

    While you're on the subject of 'enhancements' Jim, perhaps you could modify the Pattern Selector so that a Long Press on a pattern name would allow for drag and drop rearrangement of their order? Then we could easily take pattern 14 (for example) and drag it up to the number 10 slot or down to number 49. It would make set list creation for live performance a breeze B)

    Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do it. Even in the Song mode, I will include "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons to do pattern order change. Implementation of dragging the patterns takes much more time, than I can currently afford.

    Yes. Called “time shift”. I assume that’s what you’re looking for. You can do it on a whole part/track or each note

    Anything but future bass/dubstep or trap. No money in my budget for any of those. :s

    Love the way you’re developing this! Along with features let’s see more IAP? Mostly use my own samples, but want to support more. Agree with above, anything other than trap and dubstep.

    That is maybe because GR-16 is a IAA Generator, not IAA Instrument. Cubasis may not support generators, imo.

    @jimpavloff Regarding the upcoming song-mode...

    Korg Electribe Wave supports 'transpose' for the whole pattern(for all melodic parts) in song-mode.
    GR-16 could improve on that concept by allowing per part transpose in addition to the per part mute.

    This would increase the re-usability of patterns where just a few parts need transpose (for example bass part) without having to create new patterns.

    This option could potentially create a super flexible song-mode where each of the sources for the 16 parts could be freely picked from any of the existing patterns. (Ie. part 1 uses part x from pattern y transposed by z, part 2 uses part x from yet another pattern etc.). The master effects could be taken from the pattern used on song part 1 or separate master-effect setting for the whole song.

    This is just me 'brain storming' loud to check if it makes sense...
    (The core idea is from old-school trackers where a 'pattern' was just one voice and the song mode collected the needed patterns for playback and played them back with various playback options such as transpose).

    Yes.. that will be sweet..

    No problem here. In Cubasis you need to add an audio track, then under routing, select IAA to see it. If it’s not showing in BM3, maybe rebuilding the database will help.
