iOS as Modular Sound Environment

[Deleted User]

Interesting to see what some of the creative types do when more apps like the ones below become more common as AU.

Apps like IVCS3 and iDensity (still in testing) are leading the way for creative AU use for a kind of modular approach to iOS sound generation.

I look forward to what the creative noise makers on here make of it all

I love how apeSoft and Amazing Noise apps have syncable LFOs for nearly every parameter. Have you tried these apps as AUs in zMors Modular?

Good point. I must test iDensity in zMors

I think the hosts will need to be a little more creative too, having multiple ins and outs from/too single instances of AUv3's would really open things up.

Can't we already send multiple ins and outs by the mixer in AUM ? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean dude?

You can for inputs to some extent using the busses, but there are only 8...and you can still only output to 1 bus, so you could send to multiple AUv3's in serial but not in parallel.

Having multiple ins and outs on the Auv3's and routing options in the host would give the ability to use virtual 'Y' cables (splitters/mergers) as many of the modular geeks do

EDIT, in AUM as an example, being able to select multiple input busses and multiple output busses for a single channel.

Yeah see your point as 8 shared between multiple sources and outputs in different configurations is a limiting factor.

Tested in zMors, but having issues with the AU mixer at the moment.

If only I could get zMors Working well as it could be and AU mixer inside AUM. I suppose that the grunt of my iPad Air 2 is going to limit me in the end anyway lol

I've long thought of iOS as a Modular Software Environment. I love it! Infinite possibilities. I'm working on a new performance based setup at the moment designed primarily for live input and using looping in the workflow a lot more than I have in the past. It's got two sources of output (bass head/2x10 cab and stereo FOH) with carefully designed signal routing and interesting switchable multi channel effects routing to each, and also the ability to resample itself live then manipulate and pass audio between the outputs quite effectively. It's designed as a performance ready setup which will document itself and evolve in real time as it's used for performance, based on what live inputs are used.

Anyway (veering off topic), I picked up apeFilter a while back and haven't gotten into it in nearly as much depth as I'd like yet. Couldn't find that much info on it in my first forays. Can anyone direct me to any informative sources for learning about the more advanced things that it can do?

Cheers,
Oscar

That looks interesting @OscarSouth

ApeFilter is great, love it.

First off, read the built in user guide if you haven't already.

Next get used to the different filter types:

Fiddle (technical term lol ) with the Spectral Grid Compilers for the Peak Filter

Next play around with the built in LFO per function:

Next wallow in mad Filter goodness for hours on end before actually making any music lol

paradiddle

cool wasn't aware idensity was coming as an audio unit!
