Introduction

Welcome to the studiomux manual


Studiomux is an App capable of transferring MIDI, OSC and Audio between
your iOS devices and Mac or PC, all with ultra low latency. This manual
provides extensive instructions for the integration of studiomux in your studio
setup. It will Guide you from the first installation to more complex tasks,
like syncing your Apps and recording Audio into a various of Digital Audio
Workstations. The integration of studiomux into your DAW will take a big
part of this manual. We hope that you will find all needed information about
the usage of studiomux in this guide. If you have any further questions,
please contact us via our forum or visit our homepage.
Server Installation

To connect studiomux to your Mac or Windows PC, you’ll need to download


the latest installer package from our website The package includes the
server application and the audio plugins:

1. Studiomux Server: handles communication between iDevices and


desktop, installs the audio plugins.

2. Audio Plugins: handles communication between DAW and the Stu-


diomux server.

" On Windows make sure to download and install iTunes.

Server Mac

Download and install the App and Server from our website. The servers
context menu displays the current available and connected Midi- and Audio
compatible iOS devices. It also displays the current version of the server. All
VSTs and AUs are installed by default on install.

Server Win

Before installing the Studiomux server make sure, that you have installed the
latest Version of iTunes. Download the server from our website and install it.
Once the server is installed the Studiomux server icon appears in the sys-
tem tray. The studiomux VSTs are copied to windows default VST directory.
Thereafter, please point your DAW to this folder. Studiomux does not claim
any ports by default, due to the Windows MIDI ports administration. If you
want to control an App with an external MIDI controller connected to you
PC you have to claim these ports via the Studiomux context menu. Once
claimed, they will appear in the Studiomux GUI. Also be aware, that DAWs
on windows cannot detect MIDI ports on the fly, so you have to set up your
MIDI ports first and then start your DAW. For that purpose the studiomux
server remembers all your created MIDI ports, so they will still be available,
when you unplug your iPad and plug it in again.
User Interface

The following sections will guide you through the use of the studiomux
App. If you just want to use the MIDI functionalities please jump to the next
chapter Midimux App.

Taskbar, Mixer and Options

Use the taskbar to navigate through Studiomuxes Main Windows, Audio,


MIDI and OSC. The top corner displays the MIDI connection status, the
bottom corner displays the audio connection status. Open the Mixer to
adjust the volume of each In- or Out Channel, activate or deactivate muting
and monitoring. Via the Audiobus button you can jump to the Audiobus App.
Disable Global Monitoring, if you don’t want your iOS device to play the
Audio Apps Sound. The settings let you do the following tasks: • S save a
current set. • L load a former saved set. • B select a buffersize from 128
to 1024. • Book open the manual in your browser. • W enable/disable the

via Studiomux only use this method internal sync 24
Apps transport, by tapping the play button internal sync
1 , set a retrigger
signal by tapping the retrigger button. Adjust the Tempo by using one of the

provided Methods the BPM display button internal sync 2.1

External MIDI Sync

Studiomux creates and mirrors a Studiomux MIDI port on start up. This port
is mirrored to your desktop. Use this port to receive a MIDI clock Signal. If
you want to have further Informations about the usage of this port in your
specific DAW please check the DAWs chapters. Your apps will now follow
the transport Method of your Remote. With this method a tempo adjustment
is not possible.

Ableton Link Sync

Syncing your Apps via Ableton Link is recommended if you want to play with
multiple iOS devices, that are not connected with a PC or Mac. For further
informations about Ableton Link please visit the Ableton Link website. To
send Ableton Link sync to IAA compatible Apps, they do not have to support
Ableton Link. TO Activate or deactivate Ableton Link please tap on the
10

to the sync Method selector. Also Make sure that


button internal sync 2.1
is chosen, if you want to delegate Links transport to the
internal sync 2.1
loaded Instruents. If these Apps support Ableton link itself, and its activated,
please selecte no sync method.

Audiobus and Studiomux

If you like to use Audiobus, please start Audiobus before starting studiomux!
starting studiomux before starting Audiobus may and will cause issues.
Audiobus instruments and effects can only be loaded via the Audiobus
GUI. Studiomux provides 8 Audiobus/IAA outputs, that can be selected via
Browser.. If you like to use the studiomux sender inside Audiobus please
load the receiver first. this ensures that the right icon is received from Au-
diobus and it guarantees a stable connection- and disconnection process.
the same is true, if you want to use the studiomux receiver, always make
sure to load the counterside first.
MIDI and OSC

The following sections will guide you through the basic use of the Midimux
App, it is also valid for the MIDI and OSC part of Studiomux. If you want to
use Audio and MIDI please do only use the Studiomux App.
Open the midimux GUI by tapping the midimux
6 button. Tap it again
to create MIDI or OSC ports. Alternatively tap midimux
6 to create MIDI or
OSC ports.
Local MIDI ports are displayed to left. These can either be ports that
have been created or ports of Other Apps. The ports are mirrored to the
desktop and can be used to send MIDI to your mobile device.
Remote ports can either be virtual ports ord Hardware ports that have
ben mirrored from the desktop to your mobile device.

MIDI

Launch the app you want to use with midimux. If your desired app doesn?t
show up: don?t worry, not all iOS Apps that are capable of talking MIDI
offer a virtual port. Please read the next section, if your App doesn’t create
a MIDI port itself. All available destidion and source ports are enabled by
default, so they transfer MIDI to that ports via midimux. If you don’t want
midimux to route MIDI, please tap on the source destination icon to disable
it.
12

Lemur USB MIDI Setup

Some Apps like Lemur do not create their own MIDI port. You have to create
a port with Midimux, to access transfer MIDI data to or from Lemur. Tap the
(+) button and enter a name to create a new virtual port (here: lemur test).
the new port will appear in the list of local ports to the left. if you don?t like
the name you gave it, or have other reasons to delete it ? simply longtap
it. this virtual port allows us to communicate MIDI via USB, even if the app
in question does not offer a midi port on its own. .Start lemur and open
More Settings, add a MIDI target and select the (virtual) MIDI source and
destination that we just created. make sure to select the locally available
port.

OSC

In its current Version Midimux mirrors OSC ports from the Ipad to the
Mac/Pc. Due to the nature of UDP ports you globaaly only create one OSC
12 target in port with a specific port number. Creating a second port with the
same target port in will not work.
Create a new OSC port by tapping the empty port icon. set the ?app port
in? to the Apps port (e.g. 7777) and the ?target port in? to the target port
(e.g. 5555) on your mac/pc. studiomux/midimux mirrors the network ports
from your iOS device to you mac. for that reason it?s obligatory that the
ports differ. after creating the network port the status column indicates the
status of the port. if everything is set up correctly and the port is created on
mac/pc side you should see a tick. now any data can can be transmitted via
standard USB cable. if an error occurred a warning icon is displayed. the
issue may have several reasons: no connection between iOS device and
Mac/Pc. or the ports are already in use. some ports like ?1? are reserved
by the system, others may be used by other applications.

Touch OSC Integration

the following ports are recommended but not obligatory. please make sure
that the in- and out port differ from each other. set the host ip to the local
host (127.0.0.1), so the studiomux/midimux app can receive the OSC data.

Lemur Integration

create a new OSC target, set the host ip to 127.0.0.1 and the port to a one
that differs from lemurs fixed App in port, for example 9000.
Sending and Receiving Audio

The VSTs and Audio Units on Mac provide functionalties like receiving Audio
from your iOS device and sending Audio to your iOS device. You can also
use them to send audio to an effect App and receive Audio from the same.
The VSTs and the AUs GUIs all have the same structure. The audiomux
icon in the right top corner display the connection status between VST/AU
and server. The first pop up menu (displaying the ipads name), lets you
select your iOS device. The second Pop up (here: Elastic Drums) lets you
select the Channel.

Receive Audio from Desktop

Receiving Audio in your DAW can be done with the studiomux generator.
In most DAWs the generator can be selected as Instrument in an Software
Instrument Track. In most DAWs it cannot be dropped onto an audio Track.

Send Audio to Desktop

Audiomux Generator Receiving Audio can be done with the studiomux


generator. In most DAWs the generator can be selected as Instrument in an
Software Instrument Track.

Using iOS Apps as Audio Effects

One common use case is If you want to use your iOS Apps as external
audio effects, please use the audiomux effect plug in. You can drop it onto
your Audio or Instrument Tracks like any other effect Plug In. First load your
desired App in the studiomux App, then open the audiomux effect plugin and
select the Effect App as Receiver and Sender. The checkbox replace input
samples, makes sure, that the Signal is 100 percent wet, so you will only
hear the sound from the effect, if it is unchecked you will also hear the sound
of your former placed Instrument or audio.

MIDI trough VST/AU

The Studiomux VST sends MIDI directly to the connected App via IAA MIDI.
But only a few Apps on the market support IAA MIDI. In the Appendix we
present a List of IAA MIDI compatible Apps. Although it is possible to send
14

15 MIDI directly to these Apps and receive the Audio produced by the App, it
is not possible to offline Render, respectively Bounce the VST sound.

MIDI trough VST/AU

Audiomux Audio Device The Audiomux audio device is currently available


on Mac OSX 10.8+ only. Instead of using the VSTs or Audio Units, you
can use it to transfer Audio from your Mac to your iOS device or the other
way around. The audio device can be used like any other external audio
device. If you want to use it alongside your default audio device you have
to create an aggregated device. The Audiomux audio device, has nine
stereo Channels sending audio from your iOS device to your Mac. The first
stereo Channel is a stereo mixdown of all eight Channels. The remaining
channels, sending the audio from the eight channels. To receive audio
via the audio device please go to your DAWs preferences and select your
iOS device as audio input. If you want to send audio to your iOS devices,
select your iOS device as audio output. Creating and Aggregated Device To
create an aggregated device please go to Applications -> Utilities -> Audio
MIDI Setup and klick on the plus button on the right bottom of the Audio
Devices Window. No select the audio devices you want to combine. For
more Informations please read the following article.
Ableton Live

The following instructions base on Ableton Live Version 9, the instructions


are also valid for other versions of Ableton Live. If you use an older Ver-
sion and the instructions did not work for you, please contact us via email.
Record Audio in Ableton
Recording Audio in Ableton is straight forward. Just drop the VST onto a
MIDI Track and Route the Audio to an Audio Track via the "Audio To" Menu.

Cubase

The following instructions base on Cubase Version 5, but for the desired
tasks they should be suffcient for all Versions of Cubase. Record Audio in
Cubase Cubase allows several ways to record the incoming audio into an
audio track. This sections presents three possible ways to record audio. The
third and easies example will be explained via a step by step guide. Route
Audio via a Group Channel First create an Instrument Track and load the
Studiomux VST and select the desired iOS device and Channel. Then cre-
ate a Group Channel Track and an Audio Track. Open the VSTs Edit Section
and Send the audio to the formerly created Group Channel, then select the
Audio Track and select the Group as Input. Finally enable the monitoring
of the Audio Track, and you will be able to record the VSTs incoming audio
into an Audio Track. Route Audio via a Effect Channel Alternatively you can
create Route the audio through an Effect Track. The process of routing is
similar to the one shown in the example above. First create an Instrument
Track and load the Studiomux VST and select the desired iOS Device and
Channel. Then create an Effect Track and an Audio Track. Open the VSTs
Edit Section and Send the audio to the formerly created Effect Track, then
select the Audio Track and select the Effect Track as Input. Finally enable
the monitoring of the Audio Track, and you will be able to record the VSTs
incoming audio into an Audio Track. Route Audio via VST Bus The easiest
way to record your Apps audio into Cubase is to create an VST Bus. The
following steps will guide your through the routing process.
1. Create an Instrument Track and load the Studiomux VST. Select
the desired iOS device and channel, to get more Informations about the
usage of the VST please have a look at Chapter 1 2. Go to Devices->VST
Connections and add a new Bus, give the new Bus a meaningful name
e.g "VST Bus". This Bus will route the audio to the Audio Track 3. Klick on
the VST Track and select the Tab Channel, klick on the Edit Button "e" and
select the former created Bus "VST Bus" as output. 1. Last But not least
create an Audio Track and select the "VST Bus" as output. Also make sure
that the tracks monitoring is activated. To enable monitoring klick on the
speaker symbol on the Audio Track, the color will turn yellow if enabled.
Receive MIDI in Cubase If you want to use an App like Lemur or Touch
OSC to control and play a VST in Cubase load Studiomux and the de-
sired App on your iOS device. The Apps MIDI port will be mirrored to your
PC/Mac and your have access to them. On Windows make sure to start
your DAW after launching the Apps and connecting your iPad to your PC.
DAWs on Windows are not capable of detecting new MIDI ports on the fly.
25

After setting up the connection and all Apps, create a MIDI or Instrument
Track and select the desired App as MIDI Input. The MIDI - or Instrument
will now receive MIDI. Select the desired Apps MIDI port inside Cubase
Send MIDI from Cubase If you want to play or control an App from Cubase
create a MIDI Track and select the App mirrored by studiomux as MIDI out-
put. Synchronisation with Cubase Cubase Synchronisation Setup On the left
you see the Project Synchronisation Setup. Open it via Transport -> Project
Synchronisation Setup. With the help of this Setup you can Sync your Apps
with Cubase or the other way around. If you want to synchronise Cubase
with an App you have to activate "MIDI Timecode" from the "MIDI Timecode"
area. Select an App from "MIDI Timecode Source" and Cubase will be act
as an Slave to your App, make sure that the App sends a MIDI clock. To set
Cubase so that the App acts like a slave, select the Internal Timecode. Next
select an App you want to send the MIDI clock to, make sure to activate the
desired options in the list below the MIDI Clock destinations
