iOS 10.3 (the fear) ~Do these Apps work?~

hey all,

I'm running an Air 1 on iOS 9.3.5.
There has been a certain App released that is making me consider upgrading to the latest OS.
However, there are a couple of Apps on which I'm especially dependent and I am slightly feeling the fear.
Anyone know if the following are working? : )

  • Studiomux (PC)
  • Cubase IC Pro
  • MIDI Link Sync
  • Samplr

Any other thoughts or reports of possibly broken Apps appreciated!
Danke. :p

    Samplr is working, I don't have the the other ones...

  • @Littlewoodg Cheers, I figured it probably was otherwise there would surely be riots on the streets! Thanks for confirming.

  • MIDI Link Sync works on iOS 10.3

  • @InfoCheck thanks.

    Studiomux and Cubase IC Pro to go then. Cake for the winner : )

  • @iamspoon said:

    • Studiomux (PC)

    Was just going to give Studiomux a try in the new setup.

    Let me check...

    The Studiomux Generator VST works flawlessly in Ableton Live Lite running on Windows 10 and iWavestation running on iOS 10.3.
    Wish Studiomux could show up as MIDI in, but that might be for another date. Still, sending MIDI notes to iWavestation through Ableton works as before.

  • @Enkerli Thank you.

    Studiomux should appear as a MIDI input and output if you launch the App before your host software. It creates it's own port as shown below in Cubase MIDI settings page.


    This should then be visible within any iOS App that sends MIDI under the virtual port setup.

  • Someone please tell me Cubase IC Pro works and I'm ready to get on the shiny new bus : )
    :p

    Right. That part hasn’t changed (on Windows; on macOS, there’s no restriction).
    And, to be clear, Studiomux still sends MIDI to iOS apps, without an issue. And it does show @JohannesD’s MIDI flow apps in Ableton.

    Ah, maybe I misunderstood? I guess you mean Studiomux showing up as a MIDI input in Audiobus 3?

    The midi part of StudioMux trips me up. I've been trying to get midi into ableton for awhile with no success. Does anybody have tips or videos I shutoff watch? The manual kinda sucks.

  • edited April 2017

    @raindro It should just be a case of making sure the 'Studiomux Console' is running on your computer.
    Then connect the iOS device and then launch your host on the computer.
    This works most of the time without a problem for me.

    If the ports don't show up on the MIDI setup page in Ableton then maybe try closing it and the Studiomux Console and the Studiomux App and repeat the process.
    If all else fails, do the same again but also hard restart your iOS device.

    Edit: This is on a windows 7 machine but I think it's the same for OSX.

    Thanks. I'll try it again soon again.
    I don't have to do anything really specific in StudioMux on my iPad?

    Yep. And, IIRC, the specific MIDI devices do show up as MIDI input in Audiobus 3, as though they were hardware devices directly on the iOS device. But expected Studiomux itself to show up. Not even sure what the advantage would be, to be honest.

    Nope nothing.
    If the Studiomux Console detects your iPad correctly, it should automatically create the default 'studiomux@....' ports as shown in the screengrab I posted above.

    Same here. Emphasis on most of the time. It’s great when it works but there’s been a few times when it didn’t work on Windows 10. Those make me quite nervous, as my dream of using this setup in performance morphs into something closer to a nightmare.

    It does work on macOS without having to use a specific order of operations.

    @Enkerli Ah I see, thanks for clarifying.
    I guess it would be handy to have a global Studiomux In port so you could just direct all your MIDI devices to that single destination and use channels to separate the incoming MIDI input/output within Audiobus.
    That's how I would likely set it up anyway as it's generally the way I work with MIDI on my DAW.

  • RE : Studiomux console and MIDI ports.
    Yep most of the time it works.

    Probably makes no difference but I have the console loading automatically at system startup and I'd say it was ~95+% reliable.

    MacOS still has the advantage of being able to detect USB thingies dynamically after you start your DAW, although Cubase 9 can do this now on PC too and it should be possible once USB devices get proper Windows 10 specific drivers using the new MIDI API.

    Fair enough and pretty much the same in my case. It’s just that those cases when it doesn’t work, it’s a bit of a head scratcher.

    Good to know!

    And to report back…
    Using Studiomux on macOS, the Mac itself shows as an AB3 MIDI in:

    (MacBook Pro Vitrine is my Mac mini’s name.)
    You can choose which MIDI channels you want in. On Windows 10, it’s the MIDI interface itself which showed up. Perhaps an unimportant difference.

    And Studiomux does work as before with iOS 10.3 (hadn't tried it since the update). My main case is to use iOS apps (like Korg Gadget) as plugins for Ableton Live Lite.
    However, haven’t been able to process the MIDI input from Studiomux to send it to synths. They still take the direct MIDI signal but not the one processed by filters. So, at this stage, not sure how to take advantage of the MIDI side of AB3 while using Studiomux. It might be something to do with the synths themselves. (Tried iWavestation and Magellan Jr. as the SoundPrism apps don’t open as MIDI out.)

  • @Enkerli Thanks for the info, I would like to process the MIDI from Studiomux through AB3 and send it back to my DAW to trigger external synths. Not sure how feasible that idea is yet.

    However, Studiomux 3.1 update mentions audio ports becoming visible in Audiobus 3. Hopefully that might mean MIDI ports show up too?

    Might as well ask this again though while I'm here...
    Anyone using Cubase IC Pro on iOS 10?
    Does it work? : )

    It looks work properly on my iPhone5S running 10.3.1. Any particular question?

    No questions, just a big thank you sir :) . Since beat machine streams the samples from disk , I was afraid it might not work on the new file system
