I wonder if there are this many Elektron gear posts on the teenage engineering forums.
How do you connect both the opz and the tx6 to an iOS device at the same time?
I think there arenāt even that many teenage engineering posts on the teenage engineering forum

My OPZ is the brain of the setup. The TX6 records audio in AUM. I can if I want use the OPZ through Bluetooth to control iPad apps (not what I did here 100% hardware + fabfilter apps in AUM). Feel free to ask any questions if need be
I want to use tx6 as audio interface for iOS device and sync iOS apps to hardware devices. I donāt think thatās possible: because tx6 has no hardware midi at the moment, and thereās no way to plug a hardware midi device into lightning at the same time as plugging in a tx6. But I hope Iām wrong! (Sounds like youāre not trying to sync to iOS? And I donāt think youād be able to sync using OPZ because the OPZ doesnāt do midi clock over bluetooth).
I read that in TX-6 manual:
Ā« TXā6 can send and receive midi control change (cc) messages over usb and ble interfaces, as well as midi clock and transport control Ā»
But you already try midi clock through Bluetooth from TX-6 to iPad ?
Maybe beatmach could make the trick. I am sure your usecase is possible. I will eventually give it a try

One thing to note is that TX-6 and OP-Z can handle two USB connectionsā¦ so it would be possible to use it as an aggregate device between iOS and hardware and at the same time record audio into iOS in theory!. i haveĀ“nt tried it myself.
Is you iPad is the USB C version?
I have a 9th gen lightning version and I am looking for a hub that will power both the iPad and TX-6 as well as pass data. I seem to be running into an issue where I can get both to charge via a hub but then the iPad isnāt recognizing the TX-6 as an interface.
Yes, M1 iPad Pro 12.9 with usb c

it would be awesome to use USB storage (for playback) and at the same time connected to IOS to re-capture the recordings directly within a Video.
as soon as you connect the IOS device itāll disconnectā¦the USB C hub is powered but it wonāt work tho 
is there a headphone jack or other audio out on that hub?
nope, it should work over USB C but I think TE should allow the TX6 to āstreamā from a USB stick, therefore you should be able to record the Audio files within the camera application or with things like AUM or Drambo to remix / re-record the wav files tho 
thats crazytalk
you good?
if you donāt have an answer to fulfill my needs I donāt understand your actual take on this tho
need somebody with a tx6 and IOS
The problem is, there is only one USB port. Itās not possible to connect TX-6 to iPad as a USB device, and access a USB stick on TX-6 at the same time.

iām asking for my own needs. iām 110% ios, and (regretfully) the tx-6 is an option, but from what you said, i need to scratch it off my listā¦
but it can be made with a hub or is USB C still limited in file transfer?
basically I want to play a pre recorded mix (from the disk menu) and while this is playing, starting to record a video on IOS, thinking it could handle the playback and record it directly within IOSā¦
USB hubs donāt work like that. A USB hub connects many devices to one āhostā. Your example has two incompatible outcomes:
- iPad as host: TX-6 is connected as a device, and iPad can use it as an audio interface. The USB stick is connected as a device, and iPad can access its contents.
- TX-6 as host: here, the iPad is connected as a device to TX-6, hence audio interface operation is not possible. The USB stick is also connected to TX-6 as device, so it can be accessed by TX-6.

And now for something constructive: If you have an iPad, a TX-6, and a USB hub: why not play the audio file from the stick on the iPad instead? It will sound exactly the same and youāll even get a nice interface to control playback.
this means the syntakt converts the midi signal coming in from midi din to usb and sends it via usb?
i did not know that
