The OP-Z can transmit both audio and MIDI to/from iPad over USB, and just MIDI over bluetooth. For audio directly out of iPad to a mixer or sound system, you’re looking at either something like an iRig or a class-compliant, driverless audio interface and a USB-C hub.

Yeah, what I wanted to figure out was some way in which I could send midi and audio between all three devices. Such as midi out of the Norns to both the OPZ and iPad (choosing which channels go where) and the putting the audio back in towards the Norns. The desire is for the OPZ and the iPad to be synths/drum machines and the Norns to be one of many sequences to send to both, such as Kria out to both devices or something. But as long as I can get midi out to the Norns (with my 2host) the OPZ can communicate to the iPad wirelessly and natively through the Norns usb.

Maybe something like this:

Then for midi - opz into norns and ipad
to 2host to norns. Then maybe some alsa midi config to get midi thru between opz and ipad

This one looks good to me. 3 USB ports, headphones and it can act as a stand.

This looks wonderful, but sadly I’ve got a 2nd generation iPad, not the third, most recent. This ends up limiting my usb capabilities. I’ll look around. The general camera lightning attachment seems like a good enough fix, but will certainly be a limiting factor.

oh, how i wish so much that this had 1/8" stereo line input to match the headphone output

Recommend a very cheap usb audio interface for mac?

Can anyone recommend an iOS touchpad controller for sending midi to my ES-8 to then send CV to eurorack? looking for an easel/sensei type experience.

The landscape is a bit confusing to my aging brain…

Do you mean external hardware, or an app that behaves as an XY pad?

I believe TouchOSC can do this. The app I wrote, Aftertouch could also do this, but it might be a bit cumbersome, since that’s not it’s primary intention (though it is currently up for free since I can no longer maintain it).

I did come back to this thread for another reason though: VCV Rack modules now run on iOS:

I’ll look closer at TouchOSC and Aftertouch. Thanks.

And amazing about MiRack.

I’ve been playing with mirack and it is astoundingly good. This kind of application is perfect for a touchscreen, and it’s really ridiculous how well it runs on the ipad. It can handle very very complex racks without any kind of stuttering in sound or the UI. Impressive.

Does it handle audio input for sound mangling?

#483

I’m busy rewriting a controller for the Block and finding the dev language insanely shortsighted. Scalar variables only, and you have to decode every touch by figuring out whether it lands in your control or not. It’s marvelous but crazy-making at the same time.

#484

I don’t think so, at least not yet. It has midi devices but the only audio device is a stereo output module. It would be awesome if they could add multi channel audio IO. It’s only been out a few days though. Fingers crossed features will be added.

I agree, I’ve sunk hours already into playing with the Mutable Instruments stuff on there. Super nicely done. There are some UI pain points for me, but nothing major.

Multichannel Audio IO, maybe an AU bridge analog to the VCV VST bridge, and it would be all set…

This does also just make me want Max on iPad more and more though

There are only tho apps that can generate CV out of midi - Zmors Modular and Audulus, and neither of them is auv3.

However you can use Ribn app with either of them standalone, both support 8 channels in and out.

My personal problem is that I want to use ES-8 and ipad for audio i/o and effects and CV. At the moment I can’t have everything.

Is there any sign of documentation yet?

I can’t even figure out how to delete a module yet!

Otherwise it’s got a ton of potential.

That took me a while too… two-finger tap on a module brings up the “right click” menu you’d see in VCV

I recently got Patch Base to start editing my DX7ii via an iPad and it’s quite good. Looking at all of the parameters at once can seem visually cramped / daunting at first but with knowledge of the Yamaha FM architecture I’ve been able to understand a patch much quicker than I had by just diving through the menus; having envelope and curve visualizations per operator is so helpful.

The touch controls are a bit sensitive to get just right given their small size on screen, but the DX7 automatically goes to the parameter on the synth itself for easy editing with the increment/decrement buttons if needed. Plus the bank saving/editing will be nice for patch organization once I get that far. My iPad isn’t the newest and the app can be slightly sluggish because of it, but honestly all of my criticisms are worth making this synth easier to program (at least with my initial impressions). Chadwick was also super helpful via email in getting me over an initial hiccup in my MIDI set-up.

The other day my friend and I pulled up a random patch and started jamming for half an hour, subtly tweaking things as we went, and the app didn’t break the flow at all. Would recommend if you’re considering it.

Does anyone know how to sample the internal audio of your iPad? For example, if I wanted to sample the YouTube app into AUM or AudioShare – what’s the workflow to do it?

I’ve been playing my phone or laptop into my iPad to do this and thought there must be a better way. I used to use an app called SoundFlower to do this on my laptop…
