Audiobus is a signal transfer app that allows you to route audio and MIDI between Cubasis and other compatible apps in real time.

Using Audiobus, you can do the following:

  • Record/Input audio and MIDI from other apps.

  • Output audio and MIDI from Cubasis to other apps.

  • Use additional effects processing apps when routing sound between Cubasis and other apps.

Having launched the Audiobus app, tap either the input or output port and choose Cubasis. You can add multiple apps to the input port.

  • Using Cubasis as INPUT allows other apps to record Cubasis's stereo audio output.

  • Set Cubasis as OUTPUT and other Audiobus apps can be selected as audio input source in the Cubasis track inspector. Audiobus tracks are always stereo. In the second field you can select an input app of the ones available.

  • Audiobus transmits audio as well as MIDI signals.

  • Signals travel from input to effect to output.

  • Cubasis can be set as input, output or both.

  • If Cubasis is selected as output, either the effect app will appear as possible Audiobus input or the input directly, if no effect is present.

Note

To route MIDI via Audiobus, launch the Audiobus app, select the MIDI page at the bottom right, and follow these instructions. Alternatively, add a MIDI track and configure MIDI in the Inspector's Routing panel.
