You mean for FX like the slicer? No, I don’t think so.
No. But every MixBus slot exposes POWER ON/OFF AND 19 AU Parameters.
The MixBus Rack is exposed for Volume too.
There's not a lot in the MixBus that would generate MIDI events. LFO's need to be defined
elsewhere and tied to a Slot in the DAW. The mapping of Parameters to knobs requires some testing... there are no obvious labels outside of the Slot GUI. The first time I tested
parameter 1 moved the lower right knob in the GUI and went left in that row and hopped
up to the row above, etc: Reverse reading order.
midi out ----> for control surfaces
I hope someone can weigh in an explain... I'm not getting why an FX app that emulates
studio hardware units would spit out MIDI. But this wouldn't be the first time I'm clueless.
Don't worry, I'm also confused. @AlmostAnonymous do u mean midi in from control surfaces?
It's possible that I caught my confusion from watching too many of your videos... and
never doing the right steps to win a free copy. That indicates the confusion starts almost immediately upon viewing the content... but it seems to last for days.
Guessing he means midi out so that anytime a preset or module is changed in app, it updates on the control surface (updated led/position, etc), like the BCR-2000 for example.. For an app with that doesn't have a set architecture though, I only see this as relevant if you stick hard to a handful of configurations.
Ah....
Sure. It makes sense someone might want an external set of controls to manage an apps parameters.
But there always seems to be a configuration menu in the DAW to associate incoming Channel/CC values with app AU parameters. Is there a DAW that pushes out changes in the app to to Channel/CC externally? Or an app that has something like this in it's design?
I'll bet Drambo does something like this... but, again, it's an area where I'm still trying to learn more. I only recently discovered and can appreciate "P-Locks" (thanks Drambo) and I'm still not sure what a "choke group" actually does. I'm glad there's always something new to learn. I like being able to pick some dark area of my ignorance and try out my curiosity flashlight.
This is what I mean. Turnado for example send midi out and updates a surface. 99% of the apps are 1 direction. Surface to app. Act like absolute encoders/controls. Right now I’m using some DIY surfaces that kinda work around it. For example I have a box of encoders (32 of em) that have 4 banks each. Have to get around it by saving the position of the encoder before changing banks, that way going back it knows where it was. The limitation of this is I have to start from a set point all the time that’s hard coded into the controller.
I like it
Next iteration will probably have a display on;the controller and a way to save and load presets from it, that way the controller pushes out the values when loading the preset.
I suck at coding those so this will take me forever.
I see what you mean. Bi-directional midi. This is exactly what makes programmers in Lemur, eg, work with instruments like the DX7.
I’ve tried lemur. It’s really a limitation of the app and if a dev wants to implement it.
I’m also trying to stay away from lemur anymore. 1) I try to touch a device as little as possible in a performance setting and lemur is just touching a different device and 2) who knows how much longer that app is gonna be around. Development on it and it’s user base is nearly extinct now.
Ah yeah, not really recommending it necessarily. Like you said, it’s up to the instrument/app to spit out the initial patch values on a program change. I guess some really clever scripting could help, but that’s too much for the average user (like me). I’m guessing if MixBox doesn’t support it on desktop, chances are about nil that it’ll happen on IOS
module knob parameters configured with midi cc are not saved in presets (in host or plugin) bug?
MixBox doesn't do MIDI output.
It does MIDI input in standalone, but only to provide notes to AM Modulation and FM Modulation.
@ikmultimedia It is weird that these From MIDI buttons appear in AUv3 even though there is no MIDI input.
There is also a menu to save a preset per effect.
This is a really, really shitty thing to do. No mention of it...they just 'discretely' changed the final price from $59.99 to $79.99? Sorry but that is not cool. Somehow i think if an independent dev did that they'd catch a lot of hell... corporate dev does it and no one says anything..
Agreed. Definitely not cool
I think a lot of devs are playing fast and loose with their introductory pricing. But I can't really get upset as long as I think it's worth what I paid for it. I would be upset, though, if they dropped the price right after I bought it!
I just can't see the decision to do so based on anything but greed.
I'm 'happy' I got it for the $39.99(479SEK) price yesterday evening as the price hike was there this morning when I woke up...
...but it really is shady business-practice to change prices while a sale is going on in hope that those that see the videos made by Youtubers during the 'promo period' grab the app without realizing the price has already been bumped up, NOT COOL!
And now it's back to $39.99 so all seems to be ok?!
So hang on, the price was 80 bucks this morning and now it is 40 again?!
I was referring to them changing the description in the AppStore from it being 33% off to 50% off a couple nights ago.
But a lot of other places have it listed as such: (which looks like it's from a press release)
Price and availability
MixBox CS is now available on the App Store for an introductory price of $39.99 (regular price will be $59.99).
Users who register their MixBox CS with IK Multimedia will receive an additional collection of Signature presets.

..MusicTech, MusicRadar, Rekkerd, Scoop, etc all have the same info.
Why can’t they adjust final price? Especially up?
I’ve been down the rabbit hole trying to figure out a good iOS MIDI configuration. I have a beatstep with relative encoders which Drambo supports so I’ve been using that as the middle man between the Beatstep and AUM. The other option I’ve played with is MIDI Designer Pro as you can set up pages and banks for your controller (great for controllers without multiple banks and/or channel changing directly on the device) and when you change pages/banks you can enable pick-up so there’s no jump in values. You can also save presets in MIDI Designer which act as snapshots so you can send all MIDI values at once and pick up from where you left off. Worth checking out if you haven’t already.
I don't have problem with this adjusment. I don't think that anyone was waiting for the price increase to buy it at 59.99 instead of 39.99
The unfair approach was if they would not raise the price to 59.99 at least. At the end of the day the users will decide whether they buy at 79.99. If sales drops they will adjust, it's business.
Wait till you guys hear about capitalism....
