Inter-App Audio (IAA) is a universal routing system for iOS, allowing you to route audio, MIDI and effects between Cubasis (host) and compatible node apps in real-time. There are three basic types of nodes:
- Instruments
-
Are assigned to a MIDI track and automatically receive MIDI from Cubasis.
- Generators
-
Are inputs for audio tracks.
- Effects
-
Can be set as insert or send effects.
When using IAA, it is recommended to disable Ableton Link for most other apps. IAA has its own sync mechanism (which most apps support), enabling Ableton Link might cause sync issues because these two sync mechanisms might interfere with each other.
Signal route
- Instrument
-
Receives MIDI from Cubasis and transmits audio back (not the other way round).
- Generator
-
Sends Audio only to Cubasis (no MIDI).
- Effect
-
Receives, processes and sends Audio. Some effects can receive MIDI data from Cubasis.
