- Thanks to @Issiewizzie for pointing this out! The easiest and most reliable way to use your iPhone or iPad with Logic Pro X (or any other Mac DAW) is to use the newest version of IDAM. In this video we take a look at how it works and how to use it.
Thanks! That's great. I've stayed away from iphone VIs as it seemed to clunky to set up (to me, that is). Now I can go ahead and look at that software.
There are a few clunky ones, but most are amazing
That is absolutely incredible. If I didn’t have to work tomorrow I’d be up all night messing with this.
Wow! My M-Audio Key Station needs some repairs, so knowing my Iphone can be used for what I need it to do is good. Thanks.
Thanks so much for this video! Finally got this setup on my iPad Pro and it's incredibly responsive. Love it!
this is huge function that we waited for !!
That’s really useful, thanks! Didn’t know that you can finally sync it like that!
Just setup my new iPad with logic following this. Thanks! More videos on iDam would be appreciated. Not much out there.
This made me flappy happy
Really brilliant, Sir and thank you very much for your help, but I really do go back to your old “Connecting Logic Pro X to iPhone via Bluetooth MIDI” etc. Let me explain: IDAM is perfect, but it occupies the Lightning port of my iPad, and I need the Lightning port to connect my guitar (for example, to play synthesizers via MIDI Guitar and AUM). Then , what interests me is a Bluetooth or Wirelessly connection between my iOS system and Logic Pro X. Im thinking of connecting two iOS via BT beetwen and one of them linked through IDAM with the MAC. P. Exmple. .. ?
Thank you so much for your help, I just got started on Logic Pro AND you are the most advanced experimenter. Salute
Thanks for watching! You have some good points but perhaps consider buying a USB hub...
The second the mouse is involve in entering notes the score is steered to almost exactly the same place . Touch however and a timeline is VASTLY a more granular . The computer is going right back . It’s a boat anchor . That’s why third party content is so popular on Logic . 😤👽
Is there a way to not have to hit "enable" every time you connect the iPad?
How can I record multiple tracks with this solution? I have only get one track and when create another it will be the same sound as in track one.
Awesome!! Thank you!
Thanks! I didn’t know about this.
Nicely done, and very helpful. The other thing I’d like to is use audio FX on the iPad as effects in Logic. I’ve seen some inklings of that on YT, but I wonder what’s the latest approach, given the idam evolution. Thanks for any comments or links.
+David Hallowell which effects would you like to use? IDAM doesn’t do multi-track so it won’t be able to help with running effects but there are a few other solutions. I find I want to use the iOS instruments that I don’t have anywhere else but I haven’t found effects that I am dying to use.
One of the guitar effects packs (ToneStack, Amplitube, etc) would be an example. No need to do this while tracking - just as added resource during Logic Pro mixing sessions. There may be some other special reverb, delay, or granular synth effects that could be handy as well. I could deal with a little latency.
Thanks again for taking a look at the latest options.
The enable button on my device (an older Ipod Touch) is greyed out and won't press. The Ipod shows up on the list of devices and even an enable button shows up but it won't press. Why? Is the Ipod too old? Why does it show up on the list at all if it's too old?
Blue Tooth does not appear on my instance of Audio Midi Setup. What am I doing wrong? Help please! :(
but there is still no easy way to play the iphone apps with my usual masterkeyboard? this goes via 5pin midi to an old emagic MT4 midi-interface which again goes to the mac with USB ... i figure this could work out somehow, right? :-)
Great videos! So does this include "tempo sync"... (for delays etc.. in the app's presets... locked to Logic? And will Logic transport start iOS apps in time... so drums will be in time when we record the audio? This seems great! Although how does Ableton Link work? That looks so seemless ALREADY... and can't understand how Apple hasn't given us even that yet for Logic Pro X. I wouldn't mind recording my audio with the headphone out cable... if only the apps were "synced" completely. Thanks!
I've been testing this now too. I'm on 10.12.2 and I don't have the options for the midi settings in "properties" like yours shows. Only the "ports" options. What Mac OS are you on? So far these apps are the ones I have... that are able to use IDAM. Annimoog / Geoshred /Sunrizer / Patterning. I got the midi to Garageband as you did... but there seems to be no setting for IDAM yet... or a way to "receive" Midi Clock. Only send. So I could not get it to sync the timelines or delay fx etc. Would be fantastic to get the Smart Strings in sync etc! I'm also trying to get iMaschine & iMPC to work but no luck yet. I did use the HP out cable to record audio as you did also... but it did work with the Lightning cable too. Thanks for you help!
Helpful video, thank you.
IDAM makes it easy to bring iOS audio and midi IN to macOS and Logic, but if I simply plug in my usb C ipad to a Mac, it shows up as 2 inputs, 0 outputs.
I must be missing something…but I can’t seem to easily send and receive audio and midi back and forth from iPad to and from Mac.
Thanks for any tips to reveal my blind spot.
You can’t send audio to the iPad. It can only send audio to your computer. Otherwise, once connected the MIDI should be set to go back and forth.
@@LogicProLife Thanks. I see that’s true when the iPad is connected to a host. If I plug an audio interface into the iPad, then it will record and process audio, but I guess that’s because it is the host.
Many other usb audio devices handle inputs and outs while plugged into a host, but I think you are clarifying that iOS devices only see audio inputs when *they* are the host.
Is that a reasonable takeaway?
Thanks again.
When you use an audio interface directly with an iPad it has both I/O. But when using the IDAM protocol to connect an iPad to a Mac then it’s only audio from the iPad into the computer.
I am also not getting the midi, just audio. Could you possibly do one with Mainstage instead of Logic? It’s just different enough that I lost my way.
Yes, I can do this tonight.
Thanks, you rock.
Sir i cant find the instrument input option please help
windows 10 idam midi driver is needed now !
You can actually do this wirelessly by creating a direct network between your Mac and iPad.
There are a few ways to do this, but this is the most reliable of them.
I cant hear the audio! im getting midi, select ipad as audio input.... no audio...
If I go to sound, select the ipas, I can see the VU meter moving which to me says its being fed in... I can hear it if I open quicktime, really puzzling me....
Any Idea how I can use the iphone as a midi controller ? I use thumbjam and want to use its midi features. Thanks for the video
So I’ve watched this vid many times but don’t get it, I can’t get midi from an app (Lumbeat) on iPad to show up in Logic, audio no prob just midi is the prob, I have iPad enabled in Audio/Midi setup, create New External Midi Track and New Software Instrument Track in Logic, select iPad as midi in instrument, select all channels, play the midi app on iPad and nothing 😐
Not all iOS apps send out MIDI data. Have you tried other apps too?
Do you lose any sonic quality when using iOS sounds in your logic session?
I haven’t noticed any quality issues so far. Just some latency issues when I’m not careful.
None they output at 192klhz👽
So I take it that when I record, that the output will be a MIDI region? It seems that I would then have to switch instruments eventually, as I can't exactly have my iDevice forever tethered. But honestly, a good thing...just gonna take a few extra steps, from what I see. Thank you!
+Velanche Stewart you can record the audio output of the iOS device into an audio track as well. Plus you can use multiple iOS instruments simultaneously and not just one at a time.
It seems that I am limited to use only 1 midi channel from my ios garageband to Logic. When I try to set a different instrument on a different channel on my ios device, everything else gets changed in logic too. I have 5 different instruments on my ios garageband (iphone) that I want to sequence in logic individually, but it seems that I can't do that with this set up. Any suggestions?
It might be an issue with how logic is set up. Check this explanation out: ruclips.net/video/GjU7dJNFe3k/видео.html
Hello. Im using my iPad and I get static with key play after going through your conifiguration. I can hear the sound of the synth but it's accompanied with static. No matter what musical app I choose its there. It also dissipates as the synth.s sound fades. What causes this and what's?
What sample rates are you using with everything?
@@LogicProLife Hi. Thank you for responding. My project sample rate is 44.1kHz.
Try it at 48kHz. Also make sure your buffer size isn’t set too low. If neither thing fixes it then it could be other things like updating OSX, iOS, or the apps. It’s tricky because there are very many variables and it seems like not every developer is keeping things up to date.
@@LogicProLife I set it to 48kHz and the buffer was at 256 still nothing, But I did notice that the static seems to be an echo of the notes that was played. If I play 4 notes I'll hear the distortion with the static as I play the note then 1 second later I'd hear the same nono effects on anything. I'm working a fresh project and following your video.
wasn't iPhone interface image was in front of the dialog window so I could not see what was going on. But I'm assuming you clicked on the 3rd area under settings and went to "Utilities" and selected External Instrument. It was the only thing I could not completely verify while following along.
But like you said it can be any number of variables. I'll just have to live without this cool iPad to Logic interface tip.
Thank you for all your help sir. I really appreciate it.
I revisited IDAM tonight, working with it for about a couple of hours. The shortcomings are pronounced: for instance, I'm wanting to use the Egoist iOS app, and I tried things several different ways. I recorded a test loop in MIDI, but I can't convert the track to audio so that I can have something once the iPad is disconnected. Also, when I set up an instrument track and then record its output to a separate audio track, there's a slight latency gap that keeps the track from being a perfect loop. Do you have suggestions for these?
When I use IDAM in an External Instrument plugin on an Instrument track with a low buffer size it seems to have a very workable latency. When I’m ready to detach the iPad I solo the track, bounce the project, import that into a new track, and then verify alignment visually. Hope this helps.
@@LogicProLife Thanks for that. After playing with it a few times, I found that as long as the tempo on my iPad is the same as Logic, If the audio is slightly off, It's good enough to move and trim until the loop is tight. I"m still debating if it's gonna be useful, but it's not as onerous as it may appear, but IDAM still could use some improvements.
I rarely use it. I love the idea but it’s not very practical for what I do most of the time.
Great video! However do you have any idea if this Will work in GarageBand on Mac OS? I have tried to set it up in GB with no luck, any info will be much appreciated as I’m still not ready to dive into logic. Thanks!
MIDI and audio should definitely work but it won't be quite as functional as in Logic.
Thanks! but I couldn't wait any longer and just now dived into logic! however when I set up an external instrument in logic to iPad I can hear in the instrument track my synths in logic however it's not recording any notes that I play on the iPad. I've tried with iSem, Sunriser and iWavestation. any ideas what I'm missing? I'm trying to go through your videos and replicate your settings but still not getting there.
I’m not playing MIDI on the iPad. The MIDI comes from my normal USB controller attached to my Logic computer and is sent to the iPad. If you want a good controller on the iPad to control Logic then skip all of this and use the dedicated Logic App.
Got It! indeed, logic won't record any notes via the apps keyboard used on the iPad, however it will record with the logic keyboard or usb controller. When you referred to "dedicated Logic App" you meant for logic remote app right?
Hello I use a iConnect midi2 usb device by iConnectivity and I can access All functions Inputs Outputs Through Record Midi External Device using an Ipad 2 with iOS 9.3.5
so not over a 30pin? ipad2? I see the enable but its greyed out
stashe aus needs iOS 11 for this latest version with MIDI, not sure if audio can work with an iPad 2 era machine.
I cannot get IDAM to work for me, both on my iPad or iPhone. I've followed all the steps and it will work for maybe 5 minutes but eventually will just cut out. Midi is received both ways but no audio. I can't seem to find anyone else who has this problem though, any advice?
Sort of a similar thing happened to me. I got it to work using Garageband on my iPhone 7, and Logic Pro X on my Mac. Then I switched to the app on my iPhone to Korg's Animoog. Immediately stopped outputting audio, even when I switched back to Garageband. I know that they have a 'midi expansion pack for an additional $3.99, but it says that is just to enable MIDI output so I can use my iPhone as a midi controller.
Troy McFarland I think IDAM should work regardless of the expansion pack. Switching synths for me often makes IDAM stop working in the occasional times I get it working for more than a few minutes. I did just install high sierra on my mac though and I'll see if that works, I'll let you know if it does!
Elliot, maybe you can tell me a few specs.
My iMac is from 2010. Is yours about as old, or newer? I got 16 gigs ram recently. Logic Pro X seems to work fine for the most part, but it sometimes will randomly crash, usually when I push it hard.
Only two apps I've tried using this demo is animoog & Garageband.
My iMac OS is High Sierra 10.13.4. Did your upgrade help?
My iPhone 7's OS is up to date.
The only other hardware I've got attached to my iMac is a M-Audio Code 49 that is plugged into a USB splitter, then into the Mac, and a Focusrite 2i2, which is also on that same splitter into my Mac.
The M-Audio Code 49 is set up as using Mackie Mixer protocol, as per M-Audio's instructions for Logic Pro X.
Turning off the M-Audio Code 49 doesn't seem to help.
The only other thing I can think of is that my phone has some extra security stuff on it because of where I work. Do you as well?
hello i can record the audio from the ipad but there seems to be no midi input , what did i do wrong ? i followed every step in the vid
so i cannot use the ipad as a midi input device ?
+frenibas tell me more about your setup.
+frenibas you definitely can use it as a midi input device but it depends on the specific iOS app.
i use garageband and have the latest ios on both macbookpro and ipad
+frenibas okay. I’ll post a video later today showing what I find.
Hi since this is 2019 has much change
Because I need help
It’s still the same for now.
It’s garbage too 👽
