Audio Developer Conference

SceneKit and AudioKit are high-level APIs that greatly simplify the development process of the music apps on iOS and macOS, reduce the amount of boiler-plate code and allow to shorten the development time.

In this talk, an overview of these frameworks will be given. Common pitfalls and best development practices will be explained. I will introduce the MVVM pattern and give a quick introduction to RxSwift (only essential features needed to implement the MVVM pattern). Using this architectural pattern will allow us to build an app with dual 2D and 3D UI that user can switch, achieve a separation of presentation and business logic and improve testability.

In the second part of the talk, I would like to showcase in a step-by-step manner the development process of a sample iOS virtual synthesizer with 3D UI. The synthesizer will have such components as a piano keyboard, faders, rotary encoders and LCD screen.
