musicIO :: Audio and MIDI over USB between your iOS device and your Desktop DAW. The app is designed for the Mac, but also works with most Windows DAWs. One easy-to-use, professional app.

Easily send audio from your iOS device to your desktop DAW using USB; musicIO lets you integrate Inter-App Audio compatible iOS synthesizers with a traditional desktop DAW system. MIDI is built in to musicIO too; everything you need, all in once place. Its simple, reliable, and near-zero latency.

THREE TEAMS
musicIO is a joint effort by three of the most respected iOS music app development teams. Confusion Studios makes MIDI Designer Pro, the most innovative MIDI controller platform for iOS. MIDI Designer is adored by users, loved by Music Industry press, and trusted on stages and in studios around the World. Audeonic Apps makes the pioneering MidiBridge app, an essential tool for routing and filtering MIDI messages on iOS; they also provide the MidiBus software library, which powers dozens of successful music apps (including musicIO). The Secret Base Design team has built a range of pioneering apps providing high-speed MIDI and audio connections over Bluetooth LE and WiFi, as well as unique signal processing apps.

The three teams have joined forces to build the only fully integrated USB audio and MIDI solution that doesnt require additional hardware. Its been in development for months, from developers with decades of experience. musicIO lets your iOS device become an integral part of a modern professional music production system.

FEATURES
• Low latency audio from iOS to your desktop DAW, with crystal-clear 32-bit resolution. Native support for IAA allows for the best possible audio quality, and seamless integration with iOS synthesizers and effects apps
• Send & Receive MIDI between any CoreMIDI apps over USB (Lightning or 30 pin) with no perceptible latency nor jitter
• Large sysex messages (eg. bulk dumps) handled seamlessly
• Choose "send to" ports (OSX and iOS)
• Choose "receive from" (OSX): route MIDI from anywhere to your iOS device
• BridgeClock, a ground-breaking inter-device MIDI-clock-synchronization technology, provides jitter-free sync between platforms

REQUIREMENTS

So simple to use ... Excellent

This is a very needed and easy to use app. I was able to connect both Logic and iPad apps in a minute ... No midi technical background required !

Midi/usb/1cable

Fais très bien son job, pour faire transiter du midi via le câble Apple. Pratique, vivement le transit audio!!! Merci

Attention

LiPad est à redémarrer après installation. Fonctionne bien entre iPad Air et MacBook air

Utile

Permet d’envoyer le son numérique ou le flux MIDI vers son ordinateur avec le cable lightning, tout simplement. Cela est rendu possible par l’ouverture de cette possibilité dans le SDK par Apple. Depuis quelques app ont fleurit sur le marché: Music Io, midimux, audreio, etc. Je ne pense pas que cette app soit la plus simple à utiliser (je dirais que MIDIMUX est la plus simple) mais elle est régulièrement optimisée et complète. A noter que sait erreur, pour capter le flux audio sur un PC/MAC, il faudra l’application VST/AU. L’appareil iOS n’est pas considéré comme une entrée dans le gestionnaire des périphériques.

Enregistrement Midi et audio en même temps!

Jai réussit, sur Logic Pro x, à enregistrer EN MEME TEMPS laudio et le midi avec une latence "nulle"! ÉNORME! je prépare un tutoriel (kiki88000). Merci aux développeurs pour cette super app!

VST/AU??

Only works with VST and AU. My sequencer doesn’t support these (Reason)… I’m stuck.

La meilleure du genre

A mon usage la meilleur app du genre. Permet de recevoir laudio en plug in, un peu de routage pour lenregistrement, cest plus souple que de devoir configurer une nouvelle entrée audio. Plus besoin de logiciel tiers maintenant. App régulièrement améliorée. Permet de cumuler 4 appareils iOS depuis cette maj.
