If youвЂ™re unable to find Arcade in Live after following the steps above, it may be the case that you need to change some settings. This is all youвЂ™ll need in order to get set up with Arcade in Live! au version of Arcade in the Audio Units > Output section. Load the Arcade plug-in by double-clicking it or by dragging it onto a new MIDI track in your Live session.ДЇor PC, you can find Arcade in the вЂVSTвЂ™ section.

Click on VST then locate Arcade near the top of the list.ДҐ.

If it doesnвЂ™t, see below on how to manually re-scanД¤. Live will automatically run a scan for new plug-ins. What if you wanted to allow the user to be able to set the interval? How do you set parameters? You probably saw the stubbed out parameter tree code. So now youвЂ™re receiving and sending MIDI data from an AU host. (it will actually be the blog post after the next вЂ“ in which IвЂ™ll cover parameters.) ThatвЂ™s left as an exercise for the reader рџ™‚ the user pressed the play triangle button in AUM).

But if we were playing a series of MIDI messages, weвЂ™d want to know the tempo and when the transport changed (e.g. What about those other blocks we cached? Well, for what weвЂ™re doing here, we donвЂ™t need them. Then I showed the AUM keyboard, set its destination to HeyYou via the wrench icon, then I mashed the keys and heard glorious dyads. Here you can see the MIDI name we set вЂ“ вЂњHeyYouMIDIOutвЂќ.

I have other plugins, but you can see HeyYou as a MIDI Processor.ДЄfter loading HeyYou, I loaded a synth. This is a lot easier вЂ“ you wonвЂ™t have to attach to the extension process this way. But you can just choose your plugin scheme and run on the device. You can run the app on your device, but thereвЂ™s nothing to see. (Actually, C++ is everywhere in iOS audio programming, so you might want to brush up on it.) Essentially, nothing that may block. The rules? DonвЂ™t use self, donвЂ™t call Objective-C, donвЂ™t call Swift, no IO. In the real example on Github, I capture _outputEventBlock and use that in the block вЂ“ just as you would if you were doing audio (AppleвЂ™s demo captures the C++ DSP kernel class for example.) WeвЂ™re not doing audio, but the render block is called at audio rate, so just apply the same rules as if it were audio.

(Maybe they will update these in a later release). If you look at the XCode template, these are the current types for this option. There is an option for a Music effect (aumf), but want another type (MIDI Processor: aumi) not presented. Exactly 4 ASCII characters.ДЇor the audio unit type, choose anything. You need it to create an extension.ДЄdd a new target to the project. This is what will be published to the app store. Maybe it will be possible after Swift 5 when the ABI is nailed down. YouвЂ™ve probably noticed the problems before if youвЂ™ve ever written a render callback in Core Audio using Swift.

#MAKE A MOVE THE AUDIO UNIT CODE#

If you do not want to code in Objective-C, you canвЂ™t write an audio unit right now. The Audio Unit code however, will be Objective-C. If you specify Swift, the generated UI code will be in Swift. When you create the extension, it will ask you what language to use. This is the same procedure for the usual вЂњaudioвЂќ audio units. IвЂ™ve tried AUM, BeatMaker 3, and Cubasis 2 during testing. They will then use an AUv3 host to run your audio unit.

#MAKE A MOVE THE AUDIO UNIT INSTALL#

The end user will run the regular app, which will install the audio unit(s). You will create a вЂњregularвЂќ app and then add an extension to it that will be the audio unit. Really I barely move the needle on the ego-o-meter.ДЄn AUv3 audio unit is an app extension. If you have any improvements, corrections, or suggestions, IвЂ™d like to hear them. ItвЂ™s as clear as mud now, but I have a working example.

So, IвЂ™ve just whacked away and found a few vague tidbits on the net until it became a bit more clear. The development fora at Apple? Buena Suerte, gringo. Apple provides you with a WWDC video where this is touched upon for maybe a minute.

But if youвЂ™ve been writing iOS audio code for more than a zeptosecond, you know just how ridiculous an assumption that is. If youвЂ™d like to write one too, youвЂ™d probably go to Apple to search for the documentation and example code. The Rozeta Sequencer Suite by Bram Bos is a collection of AUv3 MIDI extensions that almost every iOS musician or beat dropper uses.
