Yup. all Kai Aras apps on sale. 1/2 off. Cheers.
Here’s the link to KB-1 the keyboard only $4.99 but you can see them all from there...

"Get it" isn't really that helpful. Only get it if it helps you do what you want to do.
It really depends on how you make music. AUM is much more similar to Audiobus than it is to Cubase, for example. AUM is really all about creating a routing of multiple synths and audio\MIDI effects, and then triggering them in a range of ways, maybe using external MIDI gear, and so on. It's like a routing matrix where you can route audio and MIDI between your components as you wish.
I have a more improvised\live performance workflow usually and AUM is ideal for that, but if you want to create an arrangement, or work in a more Ableton Live type Session window workflow (ii.e. clip triggering), that isn't so easy, though with tools like LK and maybe the new Atom, it's getting easier.
AUM is similar to Ableton in the sense that you create multiple instrument tracks, with as many Insert effects on each as you want. These tracks can then be routed or grouped into other Sends\Submixes and all summed in a final mix the way you would in any DAW.
I don't currently have any external MIDI gear, but I manage to do some complex things with AUM using just an iPad by swiping around though that's more for financial reasons and does take some practice.
Out of kai's shockwave and volt, which one would you guys recommend getting? both of them have been on my radar but I only want to get one of them right now.
Routing Audio to buses
Midi connection Matrix
Some basic useful effects
To be honest ,I prefer ApeMatrix app over AUM
hahahaha AUM? just fkin buy it, dont mind the bullocks , it owns over the rest and we all know it. Learn it and never look back ( hint its the same ppl that bash AUM in every thread, must be smth personal/butthurt)
Thank you for your explanation. You just saved me 21$ 😎😎 AUM really does not sound like it is something I need.

Do not buy AUM, because it will probably become your main “DAW” and all of your other DAWs will be neglected.
Lol. I wish I'd never brought AUM. I only bought it because everyone on this place said I was absolutely essential... doesn't fit in wit my work flow at all. I just can't see the point.
wow ppl actually ignoring AUM... I do admire that resistance... uknow the power of denial hehe
AUM was the gateway drug that led me here
Same here, but then it draws you in and you start going back to it more often every day, because the other apps start feeling like chores.
AUM is the only app that I open every session. It's fast and invites creativity. It's the digital equivalent of a practice room/tape recorder, whereas a DAW (like Cubasis 3) is a recording studio. AUM not only allows you to open up channels and get down quick ideas. More important it lets you easily dump them and start over! This is what I can't seem to do in a DAW: there's so much sunk cost in getting things connected. This is why Xequence, as beautiful as it is, never clicked with me.
this is truth
+100
Once Atom 2 comes out it will be perfect. Because the ability to export midi will make it so much easier to transfer the ideas that are started in AUM to other DAWs. This is the only thing missing. AUM is really inviting in experimentation. It is very powerful. Just needs that finishing aspect to be polished so that creativity isn't lost.
Xequence is great but all the channel routing kills that creative buzz. Finding the same true with LK.
Volt beefier more “traditional” sounding synthesis (a little flakey)
Shockwave ethereal to mind numbing screeches and growls
Pick your poison.
Lol. I have every major daw except auria, and I open up AUM every single time... lol. Then I also I do the same, once in awhile saying to myself I haven’t composed in Cubasis, Gadget, NS2, BM3, etc.. in awhile. However I am very happy with my current workflow. You have your favorite workflow but I do think using any one thing all the time, could limit potential creativity, a change of approach, or how you use something , or any type of experimentation Is good, Once in awhile, especially for someone looking for inspiration, or exploration.
I find it's a huge time saver when I want to just get going when inspiration hits.
I keep a number of scenes saved that instantly (for example with guitar) load my favorite amps, effects pedals, Impulse response cabs, filters, compressors, and wideners — all with favorite setting saved
This alone saves me 15-20 minutes of set-up time.
I do the same with separate setting for pianos, synths an assorted noise makers.
It is so easy to engage or disengage each element of the chain, that I can't see how I'd ever create without it!
To me it's my iOS "Pedalboard."
AUM It's dynamite
AUM it'll win the fight
AUM it's a power load
AUM there may be a reason why it's the backdrop to most iPadOS plugin demo videos.
Oi, Oi,Oi
I primarily use CB3 but I’ll break out AUM for auxiliary tasks like a quick test of an app through a certain fx chain or to do some sound design. It’s certainly worth having in my workflow because it can take me down a path that I might not go if doing everything in one app. You don’t have to use it as your main DAW. I couldn’t begin to use it that way. Think out of the box when using any app and you might find uses you didn’t expect.
Hear! Hear!
Love that last sentence.
Well I dint expect to hit a nerve with my comment on AUM. I buy app that I need. I don’t see a need for AUM in my workflow.
Why? My impression of AUM is for people who like to jam on loops and tweak synth setting for hours.
What I don’t like about Audiobus and I think AUM is that I have to add plugin to do midi sequence and more plugin record output. It is so limited. That is what a DAW is so therefore a DAW is what I need.
If you like what AUM does well more power to you my friends 😎
I use AUM in almost every session, but honestly it would be 1000X's better with a timeline / arrangement view as well. Just like ableton. One screen for mixing, routing etc. and then tab over to the arrange screen to keep clips and audio in a linear fashion.
I need no persuasion to purchase AUM, but there is one thing no-one has mentioned - the IAP’s within AUM. So can someone please explain what these IAP’s are, and how much they cost, as well as telling me which of them are absolutely necessary for the application to work for me?
My intended use is to use my guitar in various different setups such as MG2, with various Nembrini amp sims and other plugins - (if necessary in combination with AB3); and being able to interface with an external midi keyboard or a midi controller such as the Instrument 1in order to use various virtual instruments and interface with GarageBand or another DAW.
I have been trying to achieve all this just using AB3, but I really don’t like the setup, and often run into monitoring issues, especially using my THR10II as a USB audio interface and trying to monitor back through the Aux in.
I’m hoping that AUM will streamline my workflow better, as well as allowing me to capture moments of inspiration more easily than I have been able to up to now.
I really like the idea of being able to recall a complete setup and just plug in and play, and in my experience that isn’t really to be expected from AB3 - especially with a combination of Nembrini plugins, since they default to auto muting, which is a real nightmare.
AUM is the soil. Heres hoping for overview mixer, a.k.a anti scrolling madness (with occasional unwanted mute while scroll)
IAP’s in AUM, really? I've had it since launch and not seen any IAPs ...
AUM iap? ah his IAA fx suit. bought it not used it so much...edit, the "push" is awesome tho with expander
Cool thing about aum is that is quicker than most to set up and experiment with sequencing different synths and loops and try out weird sequencers, fx etc. and you can then record them the individual channels while tweaking stuff. Then you can cut that up and use in regular daws. Also easier than most to midi map different controllers etc. it’s just very clean and easy and modular. Looks great too.
