iPad as FX Processor?
RoadRanger:
Hey has anyone tried to use the iPad as an FX engine, using the L&R bus as it's input and the iPad stereo channel as the return? Obviously you'd have to run your PA off of an Aux or two.

Interesting idea RR, why would you use the main outputs as sends (to keep them digital?)? I'm not sure you can send and return the iPd simultaneously but if not you could have a single analogue send from an aux into the iPad mic input and the return through the iPad channel?
Worth a try either way :-)

I'm pretty sure you can't use the analog input when the iPad is docked :( . You should be able to use the digital inputs and outputs at the same time but I sortof remember someone saying it doesn't work?

Where's this analog input come from? Your original Question was about using the USB/iPad path to apply FX in the iPad and send it back to the DL. What does docked have to do with analog? Auria has some limited amount of FX so the iPad can do it but I would use Dual A5 or A6 based version at minimum. Turn around delay needs to be 1 msec or less. Fx certainly should be done in the DL not the iPad it's far better equipped for this. They already have reverb and delay of various FX's along with their random white noise generator. >:D This would have to be in MF at minimum to be useful. Bidirectional data on the USB would bring out the ugly.

Interesting thought, but I can't see it working with Master Fader 2.0 You probably could use a second ipad to do this, but there are probably much better tools for the job.
