For some time I’ve been wanting a kind of MIDI toolkit for affecting and adjusting midi passages. Midi effect options are so limited in most iOS apps and even the DAWs (maybe Aura Pro has a good set, but I’m not an owner), so I wonder if a third app might have to be the solution. This is what I would consider a useful set (or sets) of effects tools:
Chromatic/diatonic harmonizer
Swing/groove
Echo
Transpose
Deflam
Quantize attack/release and/or duration
Humanize attack/release and/or duration by percentages
Humanize on/off velocity by percentages
Shift
Scale time
Some other less important options might be:
Randomize
reverse pitch
Apply scale
Split note (triplets, etc.)
Some of these may be best suited to realtime use on a per-track basis, and some would be best applied destructively to sections of notes. At all possible?
^ that's my kinda MIDI transform list. I suspect that anything in AB will be realtime based so some of them wouldn't apply. Still, good stuff.
There have been a couple of deep threads about round robin MIDI; each incoming note gets routed to successive predetermined outputs. There's an OSX app called Polymer that does this. Would love to slot something like this into the bus but know it's pretty niche.
I'm having issues with IAA ghosts lurking in the background. Will AB3 be able to show all background apps that are loaded and have the ability to close them?
All this midi stuff coming up calls for a change of the app's name.
MIDIbus - taken
Double decker - taken
Audiomidibus?
Audiomibus?
Audimidibus?
MiAudioBus?
Omnibus
Magicbus
Call it A2B3 (A to B v. 3).
.... My god. Samu. You and music inclusive almost look like the same person
Are you guys twins or something ?
I don't think so?!
Maybe it's kinda 'generic' look, beard and glasses haha...
Champagne is an IAP, sex is an OMG
I disagree. AudioBus is an established brand at this point and the MIDI capabilities are part of an overall mission to produce audio.
So is drinking beer and if you're so inclined smoking pot!
iOBus would be another name suggestion
Best so far!
I think Audiobus 3 is best, failing which Audioplus.or the fairly predictable Audiobus Pro.
@supadom sure, could all be part of the brand! :-)
The Audiobus name is more appropriate than ever if it means we can think less about midi routing.
How about Audiobus 4? It's just that much of a leap forward.
I am new to audiobus, was about to buy it, but should I wait for audiobus 3 instead? , giving that it is going to be its replacement and it is going to be a paid app appart from the current audiobus app.
I think it depends on whether you believe you can get your 5 bucks worth out of AB2 before the new one comes along. If you have no pressing need for AB then you could wait ...or you could buy the current version just as a show of appreciation to the developers.
The name thing was just a lighthearted, tongue in cheek game. But it did hit me how many midi centred feature requests there were.
The thing is that the more complex audiobus will become, the harder it will be for the team to service it. Then we'll all be crying how things don't work and start circulating bugfix threads/tutorials as we're doing now for modstep.
I'm positively convinced it won't come to that.
Yeah. My needs are probably pretty simple in comparison to yours. I'm just looking for a time saver in simple routing scenarios, and I think this update will do that. There will be additional tools available for third parties to take advantage of, which I'm also excited about, but those third parties will be taking on the brunt of the new support issues, I think.
Hi @Sebastian. I was wondering if the MIDI sync has improved between apps.
Great question. MIDIFlow does a great job of sending out a master clock. Having the AB panel's Play button also work as a MIDI master clock based on JD's code would be dreamy for the massive array of apps yet to be LINKed.
Balancing Link, Midi clock and IAA sync is hard. With Audiobus 3 we'll have a lot more control over IAA sync because Audiobus is the host. So we're going to look into that but we're not focusing on it for version 3.0.
Fair enough. Considering Mike and Johannes have two of most solid MIDI clock implementations on iOS I trust it will rule if/when it bubbles to the top of the proverbial list.
If the first one was called Audiobus, the second one should retrospectively be known as Beneath Audiobus, and this third one would be called Escape from Audiobus. Then there's the forthcoming "Conquest of…"; "Battle for…". That'll be it for a few decades until the remakes.
I'm looking forward to Dawn of the Audiobus in 2050.
