Master stop/start not working properly with Bassline/Modrum. Modrum starts and stops and everything syncs but master does not start/stop Bassline. Deleted and reinstalled everything and still no go. Anyone else see this?
Is the 'master start / stop button' just the audiobus play button in the audiobus side bar? Or is it somewhere else?
Audiobus would give their app. more stability. IAA works but Audiobus is much more robust, mature and updated way faster than IAA. Why wouldn't they want their app. to have the best possible feature-set. The heavy lifting (code-wise) has already been done.
Is Modstep confirmed to support link?! Is so then that's awesome news...
I'll answer my own question - yes. Works with Loopy plus Elastic Drums. I wasn't having much luck with the Korg apps though.
Next thing to try, I guess, is something like Fugue into Animoog along with some tracks in Gadget. Good times I expect.
I'm not seeing synced start. I have Modrum, Bassline and Fugue running. AB stop/start does not start everything at once. If I hit master play, one app will start and the other will kick in eventually and not consistently. Bassline doesn't start at all with the master. Once everything is locked, the timing seems perfect. I would expect that hitting master play would start everything at once and that doesn't seem to be the case. Also, if I stop an individual app and leave everything else running I would expect to hit play on the stopped app and have it re-start in sync. That also seems inconsistent.
That's because Bassline doesn't have a start stop button as you need to press one of the 4 loop buttons.
Yeah - I get that but I would expect the current pattern to play when hitting a master start. Oh well, it's still early in the game. Thanks
It would be good to have a link filter in the Audiobus app selection pop up box
press a link icon for link enabled apps only....

Up till now I've just used Link to sync apps on a single iPad
Tonight I went a little further and brought Ableton Live into the mix. Here's the setup:
*Patterning, Link enabled and triggering an Ableton Live drum rack
*Ableton Live metronome armed so I could track how well things were syncing
*Another random reference track in Ableton Live to track sync
*simultaneously monitoring audio from drum rack and patterning in Ableton live
*Link turned on in Ableton Live
The results were very nice. I dragged the tempo sliders in Ableton Live and Patterning all over the place, and things stayed in sync well
Once more ios apps start getting on board with Link, this will open up many possibilities. Creative MIDI apps like Fugue Machine and Patterning can be used as sequencers driving Ableton Live instruments and VSTs in realtime. And vice versa. All of the MIDI sequencing capability of Live (piano roll, clip launching via session view, a bunch of creative MIDI effects) can be used to drive ios synths in sync, in realtime.
Link is a big step forward. It's important to note that Link is currently only implemented in the Beta version of Live
Cool post. I agree it's exciting times.
I've just realised that Bassline will send midi out (and also has some midi in capabilities too). So it could be used as a pretty capable monophonic sequencer for any iOS synth right now.
Actually even ED sends some (6?) midi notes out too.
I'm trying to get my head around a set up with, say:
IPad:
All 3 synced with Link, all recording into separate tracks of MTDaw.
IPhone:
You could also maybe have a hardware controller hooked up to allow you to modulate more Animoog / Poisdon parameters.
So you 'play' Fugue on the iPad and control everything else on the iPhone.
How did you get Patterning to trigger drum rack in Ableton Live? Thanks.
@ mgmg4871. You can turn on the midi outputs for individual tracks in midi configurations. They are hard wired to midi channel 1 and notes C4 to C5. Set up your drum rack to receive on channel one and drop samples in those note slots.....
Connect via your interface or Music IO and off you go.....
With cc output coming in the next release and Link tight as a gnats' chaff things are looking very interesting.....
Many thanks @zeropoint
@zeropoint got it. The MIDI note #s in the drum rack and in Patterning need to match. You can either change the note #s in the drum rack or in Patterning. I always use the default drum rack note #s, so I changed the Patterning note #s to match those. The other thing that took me a while to figure out is that you can set a separate MIDI port (MIDI out destination) for each track in patterning. Just make sure you select the MIDI outs that correspond with your MIDI interface.
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 I've been thinking along similar lines.
I've been thinking about using a second ios device to modulate the MIDI apps on the first ios device that are sending the MIDI notes to the computer. In my case, I've played around with using AB remote and Lemur on a second ipad to modulate parameters on synths and drum machines on the first ipad. I never knew Patterning exposed patterns to AB remote before now. Awesome.
I wonder if splitting the app load across multiple ios devices might potentially be a cpu saver. Also, there's no reason why you couldn't simultaneously route synchronized MIDI and audio from two ios devices to a computer. The only limitation would be the number of MIDI & audio inputs on your interface.
Does anyone know if apps are link-able across multiple devices?
Yes they are
Just make sure they are on the same wifi network and they will detect each other just like they would if they were on the same device. Basically, magic!
yay!
Hmm, iPolysix has silently disappeared from the list of Link-supporting apps. Strange...
Damn. I've been checking every day in the App Store for an update before I buy it since I've been waiting for it and not sure if it'll run on iOS 9.
Seems like Firo is also Link'ed. I was surprised...
Very interesting...
Load the app into audiobus and you notice it says Link is on but it did not work properly. I guess they had to pull that.
Yes ... the 'Link' and 'Audiobus Remote' architecture is clearly compatible with Firo, how supremely nice
Even more strange cause iPolysix hasn't been updated since October
Yep... looking forward to trying out. Makes a lot of sense... Great for creating and playing nice quantised and in time synth riffs...
Does anyone know if Firo 'does' AB Remote? And how it does it?
Matt, with one play/pause icon. (Starting the loopers.)
