WHAT YOU USE? AUDIOBUS 2 or 3?

Korakios

Still on AB2 , will stay for some time . Found it strange launching AB3 first and then publishing the SDK

Sorry, RustiK I was actually refering to this:

This would be my preferred setup too (not got MIDIFlow app as yet).....the MIDFlow plugins and AB3 work..but I find having all the filters as separate apps a real pita....

Yeah I agree it can get messy. Nothing stopping someone else writing an all in one filtering app though I guess.
My usual setup is both AB and AUM together, AB hosting the midi apps and AUM mixing and hosting the audio apps.

My intention with making those independent MIDI apps for Audiobus was to keep each very simple, while Midiflow (standalone) is/seems more complex for new users. Reading those comments above, I wonder which apps should have been combined.

I've gone back to not using AB3 for MIDI and just routing manually via (standalone) Midiflow - because I wanted the "Controller conditions" feature whereby I can assign a MIDI footswitch to a routing to turn it on or off. Will this functionality appear in the AB3 Midiflow apps @JohannesD ?

I'm going back and forth between 2 and 3

Most of the time I don't need the midi managed by AB3, as there are multichannel controllers (that are AB inputs and enable the AB control strip) that have stable core midI. Genome was mentioned, KRFT and Modstep also have served me well using core midi. My device has bogged down when building complex multi-instrument routing in AB3 while adding midi fx

(I continue to play with both testing CPU usage for the same build in both). It's true the coremidi set up that bypasses AB3 midi works as well in AB3 as in AB2, I probably don't need to keep both around. The real limitation is that the complex multi instrument multi midi fx routings overtax the device (I've gotten around this by limiting the instruments to 6ish, and using LayR for all 6). Truth be told BM3 does what I'm trying to do without seperate routing apps, midi controllers and DAWs.

I will look at BM3 again then.

You using it alone?

Buy any IAP?

Bought some stuff, drum kits and synths...some nice samples

biggest resource for kits for BM3 has been stuff I bought for BM2, and stock stuff from BM2. (All of which map directly to BM3 banks and instruments, by renaming to .bmk3) also all that iMaschine stuff, which is easy to map yourself.
PM me if you get into it

I use AB3 all the time. Time is a precious resource and I love the auto load feature in v3.

That said, I'm very close to AU only apps and AUM has great MIDI options. BM3 is buggy but offers even more goodness as a hub. And KRFT inspires me every time I open it--and the core MIDI is simple but works well.

Good to have options!

True this. I'm sometimes afflicted with too many, which is a little scattering for someone whose already semi-scattered

Great days to be an ios musician!
