• Audiobus

A portable music production tool enabling composers to compose more intuitively.

With built-in phrase patterns, this MIDI loop based sequencer allows you to intuitively create compositions in a manner that is in tune with the creative process by building up sections with phrases and using these sections to build songs.

You can sketch the outline of a composition and use the ingredients to delicately craft songs on a Yamaha synthesizer, or in Steinberg Cubase.

Create a song right away as follows:

Step 1- Create phrases

You can choose from a rich selection of 382 preset phrases (the phrase is the smallest unit in the structure of a composition). Under Phrase in the View screen, tap on a cell in which no setting has been made, then tap on the Select button on the left. To listen to a preset phrase, tap on its name. It is also possible to use real-time recordings made using the keyboard within an application, or user phrases which have been created using piano roll input. Using the powerful LOOP REMIX function, it is possible to divide selected phrases at specified intervals and then order them randomly, automatically insert rolls or breaks, and thus rework them into new phrases.

Step 2- Create sections

Combine multiple phrases together to create a section. Phrases are arranged in a vertical block and playback is turned on and off using the Section button at the bottom of the screen. The phrases can be managed as a single unit.

By specifying codes for individual sections, you can easily create variations. Using the Create command you can also create a succession of new sections based on the phrase that is currently being played back, which allows production to proceed smoothly.

Step 3- Create Songs

Put together complete songs by pasting together sections. This is easily accomplished by touching the Section area and then just dragging and dropping sections into the data area. Naturally, you can also input sections by recording in real time or by using the piano roll screen.

All these methods in combination give rise to an endless series of new phrases.

Using the powerful LOOP REMIX function, it is possible to divide selected phrases at specified intervals and then order them automatically insert rolls or breaks, and thus rework them into new phrases. In V2.0, two loop remix functions can now be set for one phrase.

It is also possible to use real-time recordings made using the keyboard within an application, or user phrases which have been created using piano roll input. By specifying codes for individual phrases or sections, you can easily create variations.
