Audiobus SDK Goes Public - Free to iOS Developers

"Revolutionary Inter-app Audio Routing Platform Audiobus Makes SDK Public

Melbourne, Australia, March 20th 2013

Audiobus Pty Ltd, developers of the revolutionary Audiobus inter-app audio routing app for iPad and iPhone are today making the Audiobus SDK publicly available for all iOS developers. The public release comes after having reached over 100 compatible applications during the SDK’s closed beta.

After a three-month closed beta, the Audiobus Software Development Kit (SDK) is being made available to the public today. The SDK, which allows apps to support the Audiobus inter-app audio routing platform, has already been integrated into more than 100 apps including Animoog, Figure, BeatMaker 2, Auria, and KORG’s entire iOS app lineup. Over 1,000 additional developers have signed up to add Audiobus support to their apps.

The Audiobus SDK beta has already had an extremely positive response from developers. Alex Mathieu, developer of Glitchbreaks said, “It is a fantastic SDK to work with, and the people developing it are super helpful, and extremely responsive.”

Developers can get access to the Audiobus SDK, read the extensive documentation and communicate with other developers at the Audiobus Developer Center, http://developer.audiob.us.

About Audiobus

With a clean and simple user interface, Audiobus allows users to easily connect the output of one Audiobus-compatible iOS app into the input of another, playing a synthesizer live into a looper or multi-track recorder, or using one app to manipulate the live output of another.

“It's what so many iOS music makers want: to be able to use multiple apps at the same time, mixing together the audio from each of them into a single project,” wrote leading musicians’ gear website Music Radar recently, dubbing the app “groundbreaking”.

Audiobus accolades:

* Best Musicians App - Best App Ever Awards 2012
* Best use of Hardware - Best App Ever Awards 2012
* One of the Top 10 Best Paid iPad Apps Of 2012 - AppAdvice.com

VlnVlaCelBass Sound on Haken Continuum

Published on Mar 19, 2013 HakenAudio·28 videos

You might remember the sound from the audio demos in this post on the Haken 5.50 Firmware update.

"This video is a demonstration of the VlnVlaCelBass sound on the Continuum Fingerboard, performed by Edmund Eagan. This EaganMatrix string sound has been programmed to take advantage of the Continuum's fast and accurate pressure sensing. Playing this sound with low velocity finger movement will create a smooth gentle start to each note. After the note starts volume and timbre changes can be applied by changing the pressure on the surface.

When played with a harder finger velocity, the sound gets more aggressive in it's attack. This is due to the inclusion of timbre data that represents a real string attack.

The name of the sound includes the four names of the orchestral string family, violin, viola, cello, and double bass, reflecting the combined pitch range of these instruments. The sound is equally convincing and expressive at all pitches, even at the extremes.
Pressing the first foot pedal activates a mono mode which makes it easier to play fast monophonic intervals, such as whole tone or minor third trills.

The overall tonal character of the instrument can be changed by moving the Size barrel. Lower values of Size will create a larger sounding instrument, higher values a smaller one.

The VlnVlaCelBass uses the GrainSilo in the EaganMatrix, with a timbre element called Vla Sustained. The original source for this timbre element came from the first 100 milliseconds of a single note preformed by Rudolf Haken on a Pellegrina 5 string viola. This 100 milliseconds contains essential attack and sustain spectra. Through the power of the EaganMatrix formula structures, control of the timbre elements reference point, fundamental, spectral rolloff, spectral shift, and amplitude is mapped to the playing surface. The three dimensional performance of each finger can translate into exquisite control of this finite piece of data."
