Fugue + mac

Hi forum, maybe some creative head will help me out. I would like to use Fugue (ios) with mac(pc) synth. Is it possible? Idk, midi over bluetooth? If so, then how, what programs, how to configurate them?
Maybe midi over usb cable? Possible? (Lightning cable to mini usb)
What would you suggest?
Best wishes

    If you're using macOS, you can do this natively by:

    • plug iOS device into mac with usb cable
    • open the Audio MIDI Setup app on your mac (it's a factory-installed app)
    • in the Audio window, find your iOS device in the list and hit the "Enable" button

    This will enable bidirectional MIDI, and also send all audio output from the iOS device to your mac. In your iOS app(s), there will be a pair of MIDI ports labeled "IDAM", and those will send/receive MIDI to/from your mac. On the mac side of things, apps should see a MIDI device that has the same name as your iOS device.

  • I'll try to help you out. You have several options, and latency could be an issue with anything wireless. It is (of course) much easier to do with a Mac, with no additional software needed AFAIK.

    With Windows, your options are hardware like iConnectivity devices, MIDI over Bluetooth, MIDI over Wi-Fi, or USB/lightning cable.

    2. I've not tried MIDI over Bluetooth on Windows, and this reddit thread doesn't sound very promising
    3. MIDI over Wi-Fi will require a virtual MIDI cable like rtpMIDI or LoopBe1
    4. USB/lightning cable Windows connectivity is a kludge of an app, iTunes components, and a virtual MIDI cable

  • Thank you for replies :)
    @tom_ward I just ordered the cable, when it come I probably will have additional questions..

    For now: How do I arm the Fugue (ios) 4 x „heads” with 4 different instances of vst3 synth (mac)? Is it tricky or straightforward?

    Sorry for being such a noob 😅 Setting midi channels is not my strenght.

    @telecharge I’m sorry for misleading. I’m on mac, but actually your help/suggestions might be good in the future if I switch to Windows or for someone else here.
    It’s good to have options ;)

    Might be a good idea to change the title to Fugue + Mac, definitely, as these days most people use PC to describe Windows machines.
