Tell me more about the microphone input block
I know it is there to allow the microphone on the iOS device to be used as the input source, but it is also designed to be a blank input from a USB audio interface, right? So then how does it work with a multi-channel USB audio interface? Since there appears to be no way to configure the microphone input, how does it know which channel to use?
I have been having some static/distortion/ring modulator type noise issues with a Zoom G3 and today it dawned on me that it sends a stereo output to the iPad. I previously have been using the microphone input instead of an app (to preserve CPU resources) to combine the G3 sounds with my virtual instruments and get it all into Loopy HD. I'm wondering if the fact that the microphone input is trying to deal with a stereo signal is the root cause of my issue. Thanks for any info!

Hi, you don't have to configure anything, the device recognises what is being input. - For example: I always connect my mono input into the headphone jack first, then the dock connector output cable. This way I keep the input coming in through the headphone jack, but the output goes through the dock connector. If you plug in an in-and-out-Audio Interface at the dock as the second step, the device will then expect the input from there also, and not through the headphone jack! It always routes to the last connected device... . What happens, when you send stereo into the mono in (headphone jack), it should receive both stereo channels through the same pin, but it shouldn't distort.
Hopefully helpful for you, greetings,

Thanks animal, but not sure I follow you... So if I were to plug an 8 in/ 4 out USB audio interface into the CCK and that was all (nothing in the headphone jack), you're saying that the microphone input block would sum all 8 inputs and route them all through the audiobus blocks?
many - but not all - Apps know to enumerate the available input sources and offer a selection list. For example, BeatMaker 2 shows them as 8 mono sources or 4 stereo sources, you get to choose how to use them. Those that don't will choose 1 and 2 as a stereo source for you., or choose one as mono (JamUp Pro for example only sees 1 and 2)
Not so many know how to send to multiple outs. Mainly the big DAWs Iike Aria know about those.
There is however no default summing of all inputs by the system.
...what dwarman said..., the App has to be able to recognise individual inputs/outputs.
