Caustic 3 is inspired by rack-mount synthesizer/sampler rigs, and is optimized for real-time mobile music-making.

- AudioBus support (in+out)
- Background audio + virtual MIDI
- New synth: KSSynth
- 2 new Modular components

Yeah Baby! Two of the things I wanted most but could live without until you got to it; Audiobus and Undo/Redo. I’m so glad this is on iOS.
caustic be cool man
Where does this leave the Android version? Are they leaving it behind?
the update is on android too – it is misleading
That doesn’t make sense – Android doesn’t have Audiobus. Does it do background audio, virtual midi, and the other things added in this update?
not sure – just updated – i’ll play with it later and see…
Points 1 and 2 on the list above (audiobus and virtual midi) are iOS specific, but all the other updates have been added to the Android version. There is no danger of any platform being left behind as caustic song files are shareable across all versions (and the one man development team uses the same code for iOS, Droid and windows versions).
Caustic does midi on android
Full version free for windows
Until the AudioBus guys bring their app to Android, then obviously no, this feature isn’t available for Android users.
This update brings much more than just AB and virtual MIDI though: a new synth, machine routing through the modular, workflow improvements like undo/redo and other shortcuts, skins, plus full machine CC mapping. These features are all available cross-platform.
The platforms will always have their differences and there are couple of things that are Android only, but 99% of the app is the same on all platforms.
Android certainly *isn’t* abandoned.
Awesome stuff indeed.
This is quickly becoming my defacto iOS sequencer… I love it… amazing what you can do with a little extra modulation courtesy the modular and vocoder…
Greediness speaking here, but for a future version it’d be awesome to see sound preview being added to submenus, a granular / wavetable synth and a very basic (four track, even) audio recorder for longer passages.
Well recommended, particularly for the mixer and price!
Your are able to play all the synths manually and PCM synth is a wave player that can do some real crazy stuff
By the ways checked out the modular yet?
Caustic: possibly THE best $10 you’ll ever spend on an app

It’s a must have app !!

Been playing with caustic since version 2, already loved it back then, but v3 made things even better! Far out the best sequencer for the Android platform!
