M:C as audio interface for ipad. Disconnections

Elektron Gear Model:Cycles
#1

When i connect my ipad via USB to M:C, i hear the audio of the ipad from the headphone out of the M:C.
Il like this feature so much because i use some synth app on ipad and i can avoid an external mixer to hear both M:C and ipad.

After some minutes at random ipad stops to send audio to M.C. If i unplug and plug again the usb cable form te M:C, ipad restar to work.

In example if i use AUM, i see 3 M:C hardwoare out (L, R, both) even when in a certain moment the audio doesn’t arrive no more du M:C from USB.

Do you know how to give more stability to this audio mode?

Sadly not… using iPadOS14 beta. First I hoped it was my faulty USB cable. But even with the original I have to unplug / replug the USB every now and then to hear the iPad again.

This seems to be a common problem for Model devices currently. It sounds like a bug to me. Here’s a similar thread: Model: Interface Audio Drops Out

I got a response from Elektron. They’re on it!

That the USB Class Compliant audio from the computer to the Elektron device can sometimes be silenced is a known issue that existed also on the Digitone and Digitakt. We have a solution for this that will be released for the Model series soon. Some general improvements to USB audio are also being worked on.

What’s the word on that? It seems they haven’t fixed it yet, got multiple drops yesterday with MC in AUM

It’s unusable… What’s the point having class compliancy since you can’t do anything with it, besides simple recording?

Huh. I never even thought of this. Audio from something else can pass through M:C and mix with Cycles output via headphone jack or L/R output?? :thinking:
