Holding true to the standard of apeSoft, apeMatrix continues to push the limits of possibilities in music creation. Automating almost every aspect of linked control, apeMatrix brings all your creation tools together and links them both in MIDI and audio. Letting you inject all your favorite FX both AU and IAA in a very easy and intuitive way. apeMatrix can also assign its Control Manager MIDI, Accelerometer, Scrub and LFO’s to modulate every built-in parameter and any parameter available inside the AUv3 (Audio Unit Plugins).
apeMatrix offers 10 slots on each of the three Matrix grids with 2 bus slots on each grid that make it possible to interconnect all 3 Matrix. The MIDI Patch-bay also offers endless possibilities for MIDI routing and control in a similar grid design for both internal and external MIDI control. So you can send and receive MIDI and have ultimate control over where it’s routed.
Each Audio Connection on the grid has its own gain control. Just tap on the node and drag will give you the full range of volume control. Or use Mixer to controls the RAU output and automate them using apeSoft’s unique Control Manager MIDI, Accelerometer, Scrub and LFO’s to modulate every built-in parameter and any parameter available inside the AUv3 (Audio Unit Plugins).
Turn each slot on or off by a control switch on the Matrix or MIDI control. Control output, pan, mute and solo of each slot and Master output of each Matrix with the built in mixer control or MIDI control.
Route your sounds through all a series of FX or route multiple sounds through the very some FX. The possibilities are as endless as your creativity.

Great potential...
Unfortunately, though, this is a beta release. One turn of a knob can result in massive feedback followed by nothing, inexplicably, working. Sometimes rebooting the entire project works to resolve the feedback but in other cases I'm left with a dead project. Like now, with nothing working in a new tune. No sound. At other times, AU3 instruments simply don't load. These things, and other bugs, make the app pretty much unusable except as a rather expensive (for an app) toy. There are lots of other things that need fixing, too, e.g. effects units continue to effect an instrument even when the instrument volume is turned to zero, with the effect (ahem) that playing around with volumes has little or no effect at all on what is playing. If these very annoying things can be sorted out this will be a great piece of software. At the moment, though, I'd steer clear until these showstopper issues are resolved.
Game changer
Just occasionally a music app comes along, changes the game and knocks you sideways. Well that is what happened to me with apeMatrix.
The first 10 minutes I spent scratching my head trying to work out what this app actually does and then... the next few hours evolved into a series of incredible experiences.
This app offers a slick way to control, manipulate and play music especially via AU. So now I have this on board there is no turning back - a really enjoyable game changing app :) :)
