Not sure they check here regularly. I actually don't know of any other hardware manufacturers that frequent this board, and iConnectivity does check in every now and then.
They do answer very quickly and thoroughly on their own forum, though. Much better place to ask direct questions specific to a purchase.
IK Multimedia have been seen from time to time.
Didn't know they had their own forum but they're not discussing iConfig's progress they're either. Their Twitter feed is very active but again, no mention of iConfig in at least a month or two.
Just asked them on Twitter, still no ETA. Argh.
Yup. I could use it, as well, but I haven't found it too hard to deal with, in the meantime. Not too hard to set up from a PC, then use from my iOS devices. It would be much more convenient from my iPad, but I'm not locked out of any functionality.
True, but they also sell a lot of apps. From a support standpoint, you primarily see app developers following this board.
I would think that they would see everyone here as a potential customer, anyways will check out their forum and see what that's like.
Hello guys. This was covered by @MusicInclusive earlier in the thread but I can't get it to work. I'm trying to route the audio from Ableton through iConnect to iPad for effects processing and then back onto an audio track.
I updated to the latest firmware son I know my Mac and iPad are connected to the right ports (no communication error). I've got some screenshots below. Very frustrating. Thanks.
I've not tried that exact setup but if you use MIMix you can route the audiobus output out to a different set of channels. Then bring those channels back into Live....
Thanks @Carnbot. It looks great. I got the bundle. I'll give it a try.
I did a video on that - it's on the iC YT site.
Thanks I think I saw that. You used Crystaline as an effect?
Update: Some good news. iPad apps and effects on the bus transmit to Ableton with mimic and I'm able to record the audio in Live.
I still can't send audio from Live. I can see the meter going but nothing comes into the iPad.
As it is with game changing products there's going to be some differences. You can find the manuals on their web site but in short do the following:
1. visualize your home network router
2. now visualize a router that does this for audio and midi
3. now add a virtual audio patch matrix rendered as a X/Y grid in the administration screen.
4. make sure you take a brain break every few minutes thinking about the possibilities.
Don't get me wrong, it works right out of the box but I forgot to eat one time while scribbling on paper and glad someone didn't see my connection diagram and put me in the hospital.
AfxTwn, also check out Reaper.
Hello @AfxTwn, the iConnectAudio4+ IS 'vastly diiferent', but only in a positive way! The fact that your iPad becomes a (charged!!!) 'big VST' (with synths, effectprocessors, midi-sequencers, etc., etc.) for your DAW (I use Cubase and Reaper on a Windows 7 PC) gives you so much possibilities (also complex ones, but that's up to you...). I found the iConfig software (with mixer- and audio- and midi-matrix-setup) not very userfriendly, but I seldom have to use it, because I made one connection-setup (with help from the tutorial video's on the iConnect website) that serves all my homestudio-needs (which seem like yours) and I don't have to change that setup, because the mixing of input- and output-channels itself you do in the DAW. So, I am very happy with this interface....
By way of example I took audio in from an MS-20, ran it through an effect on my iPad, routed the audio out the back of the iCA4, fed that through a guitar pedal, sent that back into the iCA4, and through another effect on my iPad before recording. It's a pretty great device.
But it needs the freakin' iOS config app already.
Dang, thinking about all the cables that would involve otherwise. Maybe they ought to advertise it as a choking hazard prevention device
Word has it on the iConnectivity forums (they responded on a thread) they seem to be spinning a separate app for the Audio4+. They must be cooking up something special.
Eh not too bad given the morass that semi-modular synths can become...
Can't do a sound demo right now though because I don't remember the routing and I can't change it because there's no iOS app yet
Yeah it's kind of like a rash isn't it? The first step is admitting you have a problem...and then adding a BeatStep Pro (not pictured) over the weekend.
Very nice. How's the 1m?
Same to you. It's actually pretty damn sweet. After a month I haven't even explored any of the plug-outs other than demo them for a short time. There are now more oscillator types in the default engine and it's a long way to finding the limits to it's usefulness. They all play well together too. With the BSP and the SQ-1 I spent the weekend modulating myself into a come-like state until the wee hours and then uploading something to SoundCloud I don't know what the hell I was thinking. So yeah, fun.
My second iCA4+ is in the mail and I'm hoping I can get the additional 4 inputs when I make it an aggregate device. I've asked iconnectiviy support if it was possible to track 8 inputs simulataneously into Cubasis on my iPad, but they've replied with a "non-supportive" answer.
Just wondering if anyone has two iCA4+s and has done this or something similar.
@dumbledog & @kdub how do you guys cope with 4 inputs? Patchbays and mixers? I need to track in stereo
@Kites - Assuming you can aggregate them (I see no reason why not, I have an iCM2+ and an iCM4+ aggregated on the same system - but don't hold me to that), the main problem you will likely face is the port naming since out of the box they will be the same. You may be best renaming your ports on the existing one before attaching the 2nd. And I mean all of them! :-) MIDI and Audio. The problem won't be (I don't think) with iConfig - since it can select between devices - but rather how the device names are presented to MacOS. BUT I'm guessing here since I only have 1 iCA4+. I do have that aggregated perfectly happily, but not with another iCA4+ but a 6i6.
Just $0.02 and I may be wrong here.
I actually mix three stereo sources (modules) outside into a ART PowerMix III before going stereo into iCA4+ inputs 4&5. The MS-20M gets its main out sent directly to iCA4+ input 1 for direct clarity and the MS-20M also can have its headphone out sent to the Audio In of any (or all!) of the Electribe2, System-1m and MS2000BR for complete destruction. Easy to switch gears or combine and move on.
You can see the ART PowerMix III hiding on a little shelf above the SQ-1 and the inputs occupied on the iCA4+ in the pic I posted above.
I usually do all my recording on iPad (96k/24bit) to MultiTrack DAW (4 input channels available) and shoot the mix directly to SoundCloud or wherever. I don't see why you would have issues with two, I've used a iCM4+ and iCA4+ aggregating onto a PC in Reaper for a short time with no issues before I sold the MIDI.
@MusicInclusive good call on the renaming tip!
Thanks for the positivity folks and tips. Iconnectivity support was concerned that since the iPad can only be physically connected to one interface ( iC4A+ ) at a time then it would only recognize the 4 inputs. Anyways, the additional interface comes in tomorrow in which ill report back here if it works.
Thank ya kindly.
New IConnects for Mac and PC dropped yesterday for those interested.
Still no iConnect update for iOS SMH.
