AB Update with Link start stop

Out of curiosity, as far as you know is Link sync derivate from IAA sync or is it a beast of its own therefore tighter then the former?

They're very different beasts, actually

Now, somebody tell me how to map audiobus' transport to a midi controller.

Workarounds welcome.

Here's a workaround:

Haha, yes, thanks. I’ll put it on my not to do list!

Dude, that thing is weird!

Actually the RemoFinger works pretty well

My question was prompted by what you’ve said about another app being able to start AB3’s transport. I’ve tried that on the same device (just with Loopy admittedly) and was unsuccessful. Does this only work on two separate devices?

If I can get an app with midi learneable transport to start and stop AB3 then I won’t need the sucker toy.

@Michael your newsletter is the only newsletter that is worth for subscription, all the others just send junk and ads.

Thanks for saying!

That won't work, unfortunately, for boring technical reasons. At least, not without Link Start Stop Sync; apps with it will of course be able to start and stop AB's transport. Samplebot is one of those apps, as will Loopy be shortly, though; both have MIDI mappable transport controls.

Sweet. At this moment I feel this is the last piece of the puzzle i need in my looping life. Thanks. Will look out for that Loopy beta.

Really awesome. This was the missing link

crifytosp

is there a way to use this with external midi transport?

I've been noodling on how this might actually tide me over to Loopy Pro arrives. Samplebot includes a MIDI binding for "Load Next Project in Folder". If I set up a bunch of tunes in SB at right tempo, etc, I can use SB as my setlist maker. By using SB's transport, I can also control when Loopy starts/stops. After I reset Loopy after each tune, I have my live loops ready to go and sync'd perfectly to SB's transport. I can literally go through a whole set using just my foot controller--without looking at my iOS device!

Wow. I hope all those goodies eventually make it to Audiobus and Loopy. I don't think we will altogether get rid of the screen but this is definitely a move in the right direction. Nice one @Michael.

I sort of get the idea. It’s Audiobus3 that’s doing the transport controls, right? I’m puzzled about something, though.

AUM, Fugue Machine and StepPolyArp all in AB input slots
Two synths in AUM input slots.
Press record in AUM and recording only begins
Press play in the AB transport and Fugue Machine and StepPolyArp start playing.
When I press AUM record again to stop recording, FM and SPA stop playing.

What I don’t understand is why pressing AUM record to START recording doesn’t also start FM and SPA playing, but pressing AUM record to stop DOES stop FM and SPA.

It doesn’t affect the workflow much, but it seems inconsistent.
