iConnectivity has released iConnectAUDIO4+, an audio and MIDI interface for Mac, PC and iOS. iConnectAUDIO4+ is a multi-host audio and MIDI interface that simultaneously supports multiple audio and MIDI peripherals, and also multiple computing devices.
iConnectAUDIO4+ can do the job of multiple interfaces and numerous cables. Any combination of up to two Mac, PC, and iOS devices, as well as up to nine connected MIDI peripherals can share iConnectAUDIO4+’s quality audio inputs, outputs and MIDI I/O.
iConnectivity’s multi-host and Audio and MIDI passThru technologies bridge iOS, Macs and PCs in a full “360°ree;” environment. Control a virtual instrument on one computer device from another one. Audio and MIDI flow back and forth without extra cables, and with no audio degradation. All the computer devices act like a single integrated machine.
The Host Port is another special iConnectAUDIO4+ technology. Many peripherals use USB for MIDI I/O, but an iOS device can only access one of them with its single port. The iConnnectAUDIO4+ Host Port eliminates that limitation, enabling users to connect up to 8 Class-Compliant USB MIDI devices at the same time by using a standard USB powered hub.
On the stage, iConnectAUDIO4+ can also operate stand-alone without a computer. It mixes/merges audio, and hosts sophisticated MIDI routing and processing set-ups (both 5-pin and USB). iConnectivity’s iConfig software for iOS, MAC, PC (included) offers complete control over iConnectAUDIO4+’s I/O, providing direct control over audio and MIDI routing. Snapshots are then stored in flash memory on the device.
