I was wondering about the glorious
iMIDIPatchbay by Johannes Doerr

It does look a bit left behind, but I seem to remember you saying not long ago, that it is definately not abandoned. Do you see this having a role in the AB3 - Midiflow Fx setup?
This is not very elegantly formulated, but perhaps you get the meaning anyway.
"Midiflow Limiter for Audiobus 3" will be the app for you. It has a similar curve editor like the one you know from Midiflow. But there is no import from Midiflow, I'm sorry.
Well, I'm not quite sure what you mean with "macro-ise", but you could save a preset in Midiflow with just the routes for the Velocity layers, and insert that preset into your current setting. Then you just edit the source and destination apps.
It would be great if Audiobus had a similar function (inserting presets into another preset). All my filter apps have a function to copy settings between filter instances, but not to save them permanently. Maybe I'll have to add that.
It is completely independent from this new Audiobus stuff. Yes, there will be an update later this year, to keep it compatible with iOS11 and to introduce some new features. It will (as before) focus on controlling external hardware, sending program changes etc. Maybe, at some point, there will be a connection to Audiobus MIDI, in order to simplify the setup when it comes to using it with apps.
Just listened to your demo of it in BM2. Pretty nice!
Did you use breath control?
@Enkerli - no, no breath control, though I have one. There are interactions with pitch shift and that long tail DEP-5 reverb that lead to sounds not on the disk. Sounds like lips and squeals. The demo is actually of my latest attempt. There's a better experience of the vintage original in "Dave's Not Here" also on SC. Really tough to reproduce inside the iPad. I'm betting the early 12 bit electronics post-D/A are responsible for some of it. But it's my favorite jam patch, one that I can get lost in every time, and I want it in my pocket.
Yes! Sometimes, and more so with AU and MIDI FX in the picture, it would be very very handy to have the ability to save and load individual AB lanes. I think the option to "append" a state to the app's current state would pretty much do it.
Nice! Sounds like the KX-5 made it possible to really work this patch. And your playing makes it sound like you did give this patch some love.
Some of us wind controller users were discussing our favourite patches in another thread. Part of it is the sound itself, part of it is the flexibility.
Not sure why it’s so hard to get similar results on iOS, though.
@Enkerli - the ribbon controller makes all the difference. Even on the original never got a conventional pitch wheel to give the same feel. So I'm building my iOS patch to be driven by the KX-5. Maybe a touch screen pitch wheel can get close to the ribbon.
Hoping this MIDI filter thing may be a way I will be able to expand my MIDI guitar 2 noodling. Currently MIDI Guitar lets you manipulate practically all of Thor's parameters simply by bending a string. You can tell Thor NOT to bend a note's pitch when pitch bend is activated but instead alter oscillator frequency, filter resonance or whatever. This gets more wacky if your using z3ta (which I rarely do coz its patch naming is broken) where you can tell pitch bend to alter wave shape etc. So what I want is an app which would give these options to all synths/apps with midi learn. Something like Thor's mod matrix but applied to other synths: guitar into MIDI guitar 2 into audiobus 3 into MIDI filter into any synth I wish. This is all likely very unlikely and MIDI guitar isn't even Audiobus ready but hey, would be cool I reckon
From the Midi Guitar update thread:
So they seem to be working on it.
Great news!
According to @Sebastian the apps passed the review successfully.
These tools are great for sound design if you trigger 20 arps and so on and they are great for learning stuff as well. But they should be not used to not have to learn something about harmonics, chords and other musical stuff.
The good thing with all the tools that more people can do music, the maybe not so good is that much theory and "real" playing might get lost.
I like it 50/50 these days.
Guys... try fugue machine + step poly arp. Both apps will support state saving and Audiobus 3 MIDI. It's really quite amazing.
Is ChordPolyPad also going to support state saving and Audiobus 3 MIDI? Would be very nice!
Not at launch day. We've only worked with a few developers until now. The 3.0 SDK will be public soon though.
Okay, thanks.
I'm guessing Gadget is also one of those apps that has the 3.0 SDK baked in ?
So the midiflow for AB3 apps hatched together with AB3 today. Congrats @JohannesD!
The apps are:
MF Monitor (free)
MF Transposer (free)
MF Limiter (€1,99)
MF Splitter (€2,99)
MF Scales (€1,99)
MF Keyboard (€2,99)
MF Randomizer (€1,99)
MF Motion (€1,99)
The bundle is €8,99
No, Gadget doesn't have the 3.0 SDK but I'm sure Korg will update soon. They've just been very busy getting Gadget 3.0 out of the door.
If I buy the MidiFlow bundle for AB3 I do not need to buy original MidiFlow?
No the original Midiflow is a standalone app
These are really neat, I like they way they are tightly focused on doing one thing really well. No more firing up another app and getting lost in complexity before the creative spark dies just add one or two of these into the chain and away ye go.
Might just pick up StepPolyArp for the hell of it, also looks great.
Excuse the minor self-quote and sense of entitlement, but please someone make this!
+1
and an app that generates chords in the first place (harmoniser)
You might want to look into Fugue Machine for creating some of this functionality for chords that are 4 notes or less. You can enter chords into a Fugue Machine pattern, then send each note to a different destination. Rotating the notes maybe more difficult but you can set different tempo, playback modes, and start times to get some polyrhythms going with chords. It's not exactly what you're looking for but it might be worth exploring.
Alternatively you can see if there's a Lemur template that has this functionality or close enough to it so that you can modify it to suit your purposes or roll your own.
That's a pretty interesting idea, thanks.
Never really got to grip with Lemur beyond editing some ready made templates though.
Anyway, I think an AB3-ready solution would be best for obvious reasons : )
Audiobus 3 + midiflow key splitter app combo, seems perfect for live shows. (I can see it replacing iMIDIPatchbay as my main MIDI tool for live shows and stop fearing its demise by iOS 11)
I'm not buying audiobus 3 right away (saving some money for now) but here's my question for anyone who can answer:
The splitting only works with apps that support audiobus 3 fully, or any app (or AU) will work with it?
Somebody should make a video for this! Tried last night for a few mins. Got something going - but nothing close to amazing. If not a video - maybe a deeper explanation of using the 2 apps together?
