Kymatica just updated AUM – Audio Mixer with a whole bunch of MIDI improvements! There is a new MIDI channel strip to hold MIDI-only AUv3 plugins. There are a lot of features in AUM that can now be controlled via MIDI. The update also includes Ableton Link 3 start/stop support.
MAJOR NEW FEATURES
• Finally, updated to Ableton Link 3 with start/stop support!
• Add new “MIDI strip” channel type to hold MIDI-only AU plugins.
• Allow importing channels from another session. (Tap IMPORT add-button, or long-press a session file and choose ‘Import channels’)
• Allow easy duplication of channel strip.
• Allow loading sessions via MIDI actions. Its configuration is saved globally instead of in the session.
• Add MIDI program change as recognized MIDI control messages.
• Add MIDI ctrl for tap tempo.
• Add MIDI action ‘Show Plugin’ for AUv3 nodes.
• Add MIDI actions for AUv3 preset-loading.
• Avoid stuck notes when bypassing/disconnecting MIDI sources or changing MIDI destination filter/transpose
• Show AU contextName (if set) in plugin title and as node icon subtitle, long-press AU plugin title bar to edit.
IMPROVEMENTS
• Re-apply preferred samplerate on audio interface route change.
• Remember preferred sample rate on app launch.
• Save preferred instead of current sample rate in session.
• Bring keyboard to front if currently behind the plugin window when tapping plugin window keyboard button.
• Send error string to Audiobus if preset load failed.
• MIDI matrix: highlight source and dest on touch-down.
• Support upside-down portrait on iPhone.
• Improve display of long names in MIDI control table.
• MIDI learn consistency: always ignore the message that triggered the learn.
• Tweak node param-knob and menu button layout for consistency.
• Only update latency compensation on node-bypass if the node has latency.
• Save project: save when tapping Return on keyboard.
• Various minor UI and layout tweaks.
• Keep connections to MIDI Control from permanent MIDI sources on load/new session.
• Minor optimizations for MIDI Control.
BUGFIXES
• AUv3 Transpose: ignore extra bytes in note messages (hello Thesys).
• Clear MIDI matrix when loading session so it isn’t keeping connections from previous session.
• Don’t crash when trying to MIDI-control parameters of a crashed AU plugin.
• NodePicker: avoid keyboard on iPhone.
• NodePicker: fix memory leak if dismissed while in search mode.
• NodePicker: hide ‘remove slot’ button while searching.
• NodePicker: hide search if collection empty.
• Make sure we don’t free MIDI sources/destinations too early. Hopefully avoids rare crash…
• Improve MIDI safety when AU plugin was invalidated (crashed).
• Update MIDI matrix correctly if visible while loading session.

The flexible audio mixer, plugin host, recorder, and connection hub. Multi-channel interface support, busses, fx sends, built-in EQs, and much more.
This is a quick 1.2.7 update that fixes a crash when trying to present the available parameters of certain AUv3 plugins.
Full list of improvements, fixes, and new stuff for the recent 1.2.6 update below:
User Interface:
– Speed up app launch
– New Save UI with folder picker navigation

– Use title of source node for unnamed channels.
– FilePlayer preview: auto-play when tapping preview button
– Tapping ‘home’ button in chan bookmark menu when already at the start now scrolls to the end
– Bus sends: show amount in dB as well as percent
– Show parameter min/max in MIDI control list for built-in filters etc
– Add time and date in engine status view (tap DSP/battery indicator)
– Various UI layout and transition improvements
– If main audio engine is not running, color play button red and show warning message when tapped
– Allow access to transport controls while Clock Options menu is open
– Use numbers and punctation keyboard for value edit popups
– Various graphics optimizations and pixel-level tweaks
– Sort folders first in file lists
– Various users guide updates
Engine:
– Add 8 more mix busses
– Add metronome pre-roll-only toggle in Clock Options menu.
– Automatically reset transport when changing pre-roll if not running
– Deactivate audio session when going background and stopping audio. fixes unresponsive audio engine in some cases after switching between apps
– Don’t stop engine if disconnected from host unless running in background
MIDI:
– New optimized MIDI engine, with sample accurate timing for AUv3 and IAA midi
– Many improvements for the MIDI matrix: full screen, color coding, icons, activity indicators
– Add MIDI route button in the main top bar for quick access to MIDI matrix
– MIDI source lists: add activity indicators and icons
– Allow swiping to clear an assigned MIDI parameter, swipe on a subpage for ‘CLEAR ALL’
– Handle MMC deferred play message (same as play)
– If AUv3 plugin has only one MIDI out, don’t name it
– Various fixes for MIDI SysEx
Audio Unit Extensions:
– Allow plugins to expose a single main parameter to display next to the node. (default to first parameter returned from parametersForOverviewWithCount)
– Use the parameter tree hierarchy when listing parameters
– Add ‘last time used’ sort mode for AU plugin node picker
– Add show-own-controls toggle (for plugins built-in keyboard etc)
– Show param min/max in MIDI control list
– Allow plugins to update their shortName dynamically
– Clip plugin MIDI output timestamps in case they are out of bounds
– Call selectViewConfiguration after resize
Bugfixes:
– Avoid crash when removing channel with a node that receives MIDI from an AU and has a bus output/send.
– Fix occasional crash when MIDI learning parameter
– Use actual filename as title when loading session from file. Avoids confusion after renaming files
– IAA nodes: fix rare crash after ejecting node
– Various layout fixes for recent iOS device models
– Fix crash when Link tempo drops fast in some configurations
– Fix crash when enabling MIDI clock send while already running
– Bus Sends: fix double-tap for default value

Running Fugue Machine through Rozeta Scaler will give you instant access to manipulate those scales and keys. Fun experimentation! I was having fun with this combo and wanted to share. Also shown, Rozeta LFO slowly modulating the filter cut off in BS-16i. ApeFilter and EOS2 take it to another sonic level.

AUM is the flexible audio mixer, recorder, and connection hub for your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Connect hardware inputs and outputs, Audio Unit extensions, Inter-App Audio apps, Audiobus, soundfile players, built-in signal processing and filters, in any configuration you want. Route anything to anywhere with mix-busses, effect sends, audiobus ports, and external multi-channel audio interfaces. Play hosted synths and instruments using the built-in keyboard or external MIDI controllers, or sequence them from other apps using Virtual MIDI. Record mixes, individual tracks, or both, straight into the storage space of AudioShare (no copying of files needed), with synchronized start and end for perfect loops. Play back recordings, sound files and loops as channel sources in the mixer for backing tracks, further processing or mixing. Route MIDI in any way you like using the MIDI matrix. Synchronize everything with the transport clock and play in time with other apps or devices using Ableton Link, a new technology that synchronizes beat, phase and tempo of Ableton Live and Link-enabled iOS apps over a wireless network. Connect external music machines and synchronize them with MIDI Clock. Includes built-in processing nodes for various stereo processing, Mid/Side balance and conversion, EQs and filters, limiting, clipping and saturation. Or use any 3rd party Audio Unit extension or Inter-App Audio effect. All controls in the mixer can be controlled via MIDI, including parameters of hosted and built-in plugins.
