    I hope by "single channel" you mean stereo?

    Yup -- stereo.

    Nice update on progress there Patrick @SecretBaseDesign. Thanks!

    @SecretBaseDesign can you give a timeframe on Windows? Is coding as involved as it was with the Apollo vst and what is the midi clock sync like? Thanks!

    Guess I'll ask again in case you are back today… when will the companion app be released on the Mac AppStore?

    I thought I read somewhere that you were, apologies if I'm incorrect.

    No hard time frame on Windows yet; the USB stuff is a little bit gnarly, and I'm not sure yet when we'll have it dialed in to the point where I'd feel comfortable releasing something. The Sound Injector VST just uses standard TCP/IP networking, so there was no operating system weirdness to plow through; with USB, it's a little bit trickier.

    There are libraries available that allow connections from iOS to Windows -- so it's all do-able. But at this point, I can't give you an honest answer on timing other than "I don't know" (and of course, "as soon as possible."). There's a bunch of stuff on our collective plates, and we're trying to move quickly, while also moving carefully.

    For the Mac app store part of Music IO -- we ran into a sandboxing issue that we didn't expect, and are trying to figure out if there's a way to comply with Apple's rules, and also get things working. For Duet Display and Air Display, they Mac parts of their apps are distributed directly, rather than through the Mac app store -- so I'm starting to think that if they have not found a way around Apple's rules, we might not be able to do this either. I would really prefer the Mac app store (it makes installation and updates painless), but we'll do what we have to do. Right now, the Mac part of things is available on our web site, and I think that'll be the way it goes for v1.1.

    Thanks for the update regarding the Mac appstore. Even though I bought the app over a week ago I was holding off on testing this while waiting for that to show up, but I'll dive in now.

    So, hypothetically speaking, could I have a Mac Mini on stage... connect one iPad with music IO as a midi controller, a second iPad as DuetDisplay and not need an actual computer monitor?? ...just curious

    edit: so curious in fact, I just looked it up to answer my own question: It looks like YES :-)

    @Hmtx that's a brilliant idea!

  • SecretBaseDesignSecretBaseDesign

    Be careful with Duet Display -- it eats a lot of CPU to compress the video and get it across the USB connection. It is an amazing app, but not light on the processor. Depending on how the USB ports are set up on the Mac Mini, you might also wind up having the Music IO data stream competing for bandwidth with Duet Display (which would likely be eating all the bandwidth that it could).

    I think that in principle, it should work -- but test it out before getting yourself into a spot where it has to work well!

    (It really is insane what you can do with iPads, now that the USB has been opened up. And things are just going to get better.)

    Technological possibilities are cool and all, but wouldn't it just be easier to use a MacBook? That's one less piece of gear and one less connection to make. Is there an advantage to using the Mac mini?

  • o_imsengo_imseng

    Macbooks dont have the Apps that IOS have. Its such a Major Thing that USB is now open. This is just the next step in the Evolution of iOS Audio.

  • HolidayHoliday

    I have it working except that there is no clock sync. For some reason midi notes get sent from Mac DAW to iOS synth but not clock. Or at least as I can tell the clock is off, in Magellan it goes to 320 BPM where as my DAW is at 120. Anyone know why?
