okay yeah, but evidently this specific info for the Ultralite Gen 5 isn’t easily located anywhere and certainly not in the manual or even on the App itself
I’ve only had the og firewire Ultralite from release, so there’s no reason I (or others) would account for what MOTU do on other devices specifically marketed as ‘network’ devices and fathom this out somehow, it’s understood it’s not novel per se, but it just isn’t documented to my knowledge (got this from MOTU after asking) and i had expected/hoped that this config would be doable as i had no interest in using a device like that as an iOS soundcard
to be fair - even retrospectively googling
ultralite mk5 "1281"
gives no results (yet !)
so i appreciate this functionality isn’t a revelation (i’d just assumed it would be doable), but sharing the specifics may still be useful to a few others, especially as the app and device will initially self-create IP address entries that are not related to the computer IP you’d need for that specific hook-up scenario, let alone knowing that a particular port number is also needed
long term i hope there will be other paths to control it (some of it at least) wirelessly whether by midi/sysex/osc/browser - not too keen on iPad reliance
