Description
Play external Synthesizers from Garageband.
RouteMIDI, in conjunction with a DAW such as Garageband, will allow you to create tracks that will use any of your external MIDI synthesizers for that track, as alternate to instruments etc. built into the DAW.
For each track that you select RouteMIDI as it's Audio Unit, you will be able to browse through whatever external devices are connected. Then, you may optionally direct the MIDI to any of the standard 16 Channels so that Multi-Timbral units are supported.
What’s New
Version 1.5
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Version 1.5 addressed cosmetic issues in order to conform fully with App Store regulations.
Version 1.3 Removed redundant code that may have been responsible for app crashing when used on a device connected to an ipv6-only Network.
Made some changes that should serve to alleviate a potential processing bottleneck. The bottleneck may have been responsible for notes occasionally being stuck "on". Additionally, an "ALL NOTES OFF" button (3 exclamation marks on a Red Background) has been added to the panel to the right of the MIDI out destination Stepper control. In the event of any notes becoming stuck on, a single tap of this button will clear it.
Ratings and Reviews
Cannot get it to work - Dev site given is in chinese.
I gave this a solid two hours after reading up on the audiobus forum. There’s no guidance on how it might operate, or what issues may arise, from the developer. It must be kept up or it wouldn’t still be on the Appstore? I set GB to be an output of my other DAW, and set ‘record’ on the other DAW that was accepting input of MIDI on ALL channels. Nothing. Happy to be wrong, but if there’s not a way to do this, this is not an app I need! I did try.
Does what it says on the tin
I’ve been looking for a solution to the issue of controlling external synths from my iPhone running GarageBand ... Using an iRig PRO Duo, which incidentally is a brilliant piece of kit, connected to an SH 201 and other digital effects. The Roland works great as a controller but until now, could not be controlled by a midi track inside of GB....
Sorted !
p.s. this is a challenge I set myself, to do an entire arrangement using a mix of live (with phantom powered mics), recorded and sequenced tracks entirely on a phone.. I have a DAW at home but it doesn’t fit in my pocket...!
Does not work properly
All I can get it to do it play a few random notes from GarageBand into MusicStudio, not accurate or in sync.
Please continue development as the concept is really good.
