Idam between iPad Pro 2020 usb c and IMAC 2020

any success yet on expanding iPad Pro So that you can plug keyboards and midi pads etc to control your apps going into a powered hub then onto IMAC to sync up in midi studio and use as an audio input on Ableton? pics of working setup or it didn't happen ;) I got a funny feeling that apple killed it along with mifi certification without telling anyone.

    IDAM will only work if you plug the iPad Pro direct to the iMac (or into a hub at the computer end). Midi devices connected to the iMac will then be available on the iPad. You need to ‘Enable’ the iPad in audio midi settings on the Mac. It’s the same for USB-C iPads as with lightning, neither will work with a hub at the iPad end, but I can’t think of a reason why you wouldn’t just connect all your controllers to the iMac (or you could still use Bluetooth)?

    Midi goes both ways, audio just from IPad to iMac, i.e. into Ableton, not back. If you want to send Audio both ways you need Studiomux, which is not working on ios14 and quite challenging to get stable on older iOS versions... good when it’s working though. Not sure what you think Apple has killed?

    EDIT: With IDAM all desktop midi shows up under one iPad input 'IDAM midi Host' in AUM for example, you can route your controllers via Live, but you'd have to send different controllers on different midi channels if you wanted to send them to different iPad apps.

    Studiomux (on iOS 13) once opened and running on iPad (with the server app on the Mac), will make all the midi devices connected to the Mac available independently on the iPad (and so in AUM). This works without having any apps loaded in the Studiomux app (so in theory much more stable). I guess this is also what Midimux does, but I don't have that. I have it open in the background on my iPad at the moment with an AUM session doing all the work and sending audio to Ableton via IDAM. I also have a iPad Pro iOS 14 with the new Studiomux beta, it's not very reliable yet for audio, but I will see how it is as just a midi router and update here.

  • appreciate you coming back to me steve99 but you might of missed the point of what I was trying to say. could be me it was late lol on the iPad with lightning port , a client wanting to record guitar and vocals for example or mic some drums or use electronic drummed, instrument , akai Mac , any of the recognised keyboards with their respective apps etc could do that next door in the studio in whatever way they liked hooking up an audio interface (powered) to the iPad arrange their stuff in any way then liked and then hook that up to either main studio interface or the Mac , or the MacBook Pro in the small room and I could sit and record in half decent quality direct in Ableton using the enable button and aggregate device on Mac , however I wanted, I wouldn't use wifi or bluetooth to record with , a there can be noticeable lag, not always but sometimes and midi is always better hard wired. they might not be the only person in the studio recording something. quite why id want to plug in all those devices to the main studio Mac is beyond me, they don't belong there :) for the dj's I could up 2 iPads as digital decks into physical mixer and output that to Ableton. I could even lay down the beat and with link they where always on the money/rhythm. I have studiomux, audio bus, aum all manner of apps, synths plugs in and all that, studiomux for send and returns for Ableton, some of the fx on iPad store Are quite good unique etc. I could even have headphones on the iPad for whoever was recording to monitor split the signal with headphone splitter so someone else could give opinion while still having quality audio out the lightning port. what I'm trying to say is that no one as far as I know has achieved that on iPad Pro yet because with usb-c its not possible because they've changed protocol the way it works etc (its not even thunderbolt 3 :() it was supposed to replace the last generation yet we've gone back about 5 years. when I saw it coming out checked out sidecar and thought neat chill in the small room Mac in the big room mess around in Ableton as screens extended or mirrored etc used the magic keyboard but the pointer disappears etc etc the list goes on. don't want to bore you bud but shit duet does that and it does it better usually so you know I just find it hard to see the advances at this point . nice screen but try outputting it to a monitor right, usb c to usb but in the very small print right at the bottom is says usb-c display port protocol or hdmi only over hdmi 2 with a specific cable (not included obviously lol ) I just think for the money I'm going to swap it for 2 lightning iPads or hunt down another MacBook Pro the late 2015 quad core behemoth (best MacBook Pro ever! ) it'd be easier to make music :) don't get me wrong love most of my apple products etc I'm not a hater but the new pro like wtf dude , Steve would be turning over in his grave. /rant off lol

  • Yes I definitely missed your point, I’d forgotten you could have more than one person in a studio.
