I then created a new audio track in my Garageband on the Mac project. In the server application on the Mac under "Settings" the "Monitor Output Device" was set to "Soundflower (2ch)". I used Figure as an instrument and AUfx Dub as an effect. The latency for the plug-in (which is recorded) is potentially higher than the latency for the audio monitoring - a glitch on the monitor is less of a big deal than a glitch on the recording, so it's biased that way.įor anyone running into real trouble, drop a line to, and we'll chase after it.įor what it's worth I successfully got this to work between my iPad Air 2 and Garageband on the Mac.Īfter connecting the iPad to the Mac via USB and then launching the server on the Mac and the app on the iPad, and it registering as a successful connection between the two, here's what I did. The latency adjustment happens if the Mac falls too far behind iOS if things are running smoothly, you'll get low latency, even at the higher latency settings. well, you can probably guess what will be in the next - no support for sample rates other than 44.1k in this version - this will likely get added in an upcoming release. I'm doing most of my examples with an audio input track, as. The plug-in should say "connected" and show the synth that it's receiving audio from (and you'll need the Mac Music IO app running) if you're not seeing that, the problem is happening earlier.

It might be worth trying the Music IO plug-in onto a software instrument track - no worries about feedback from Logic there. Logic seems to silently toggle things off for me). Unable to tell if latency is better by playing MIDI parts via keyboard as my physical timing is not - it's possible that Logic thinks you have a potential audio feedback issue (if the plug-in is on an audio track with mic input, and the output is going to speakers. Unable to tell if there is any difference when recording 24bit or 32bit (as set in Ableton). Latency does seem to improve at higher sample rates but I think that is because only a fraction of the information is being recorded. So if there is some kind of live up conversion it's not working well enough to record at higher sample rates. Recording at higher sample rates (so Ableton set to 88.2K for example) the audio recorded is broken up intermittently and seems to be mere fragments of original sound. So fairly stable but still the odd random glitch. Randomly there seems to be times when the audio will hiccup, not pass the audio for 1/2 second or such. Recording at 44.1K the iSEM synth audio seems good. Again this is corrected by resetting the audio buffer in Ableton. So latency induced by altering settings in the Mac server tend to stick, even if switched back. As well it seems that if you turn on MIDI monitoring in the Mac server then turn it off or turn monitoring latency to high then low that the latency induced sticks until I go into Ableton preferences and switch the audio buffer to a different setting then back to the setting I had it, which seems to properly reset the fact that I have turned off monitoring in the Mac server. Turning on any monitoring seems to induce audio lag. MIDI Monitor is off on Mac MusicIO server and all monitoring is off in Ableton.

Midi notes are programmed in Ableton going out MIDI track to MusicIO to iSEM on iOS.

The lowest audio latency I was able to get (not right on beat but pretty small amount of latency) is with Ableton's Buffer set to 128 and MusicIO on iOS set to Buffer 128. Testing updated MusicIO server and plugins results:
