Sorry for the n00b questions here, but just so I’m clear:

—I can connect my A4 to my iPad Pro and use this with a USB-C to USB-B cable?

—I could back and transfer presets between A4s?

Thanks.

  1. Yes
  2. It’s more of a creative tool than a librarian…I don’t have access to the Presets or the File System, only the Current Kit…so you would have to load a Preset on the A4, hit “Get Kit” in the app, save that Kit in the app, then manually load each saved Kit from the app to the new A4 and save a preset on the A4…tedious

Thank you. Still, it sounds like it would be ok for moving a few presets between machines in a pinch…

It works fine here and I have emails from other users that it works as well. How are you connecting the iPad to your A4? There should be no difference in the MIDI / Sysex implementation between 1.50 and 1.51.

I just upgraded to Big Sur last week, and noticed that their Live Routings option under Audio MIDI Setup is broken. I had to purchase an app called MIDI Router to route MIDI / Sysex from the iPad to / from the hardware. Since Ableton doesn’t transfer sysex properly either, this is the only way I have gotten things to work while going through macOS :[

Not sure how to get this working. I made all the settings in the help menu, but nothing happens.

#54

How are you connecting your iPad? Directly to the hardware or through a computer?

Directly via the Elektron usb cable and a simple usb-c adapter

#56

And in the upper left MIDI menu, does the A4 appear? Do you have its ports selected?

It only says Network on both sides

#58

If it doesn’t show up even after hitting Refresh Interfaces, then the iPad doesn’t see your A4…Is your A4 In USB MIDI mode (SYSTEM - USB CONFIG)?

Yes, I had switched it back from Overbridge to midi

Not sure what usb-c adapter you are using. I have a direct connection working just now with apple’s camera kit directly to the A4. Do any other iPad MIDI apps recognize your A4’s ports?
