[...]I am using iPad 3, connected to MOXF using Yamaha i-UX1. The midi send works great, means it works great as midi controller. However, I can’t get audio to be recorded to iPad (auria app). I’ve tried altering the settings, but still nothing works. Auria only detects mic input. Is there anymore setting to be tweaked, or does Yamaha i-UX1 cable did not support audio recording?

A 5-pin-DIN connection won’t work. While USB has sufficient bandwidth to support sending audio via it, MIDI does not.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_1.0

With all due respect mr 5pinDIN, the yamaha i-UX1 is a usb to 30 pin connector :)

Apologies - I was apparently thinking of the i-MX1.

No problem :)

Maybe i-UX1 could not support audio, since it is made before MOXF.
Could you check with Camera Connection Kit. If it works with iPad2,
I’m sure that you should not have any issues with iPad3.

Thanks alex. Seems that you are right!

syamtajuddin, are you able to get any sound from the iPad to the MOXF?  A quick test is to play something in iTunes.  Then turn up the DAW level slider on the MOXF.  Do you hear anything through the keyboard output?  This is a quick test to see if something as simple as iPad audio can be passed to the MOXF.  If not, then it is likely you will need the 30-pin Apple Camera Connection Kit.

If it does play, then you can try these next steps to get the MOXF audio to Auria.

Be sure to follow the section in the following link for “Prepare the MOXF6/MOXF8”: http://www.motifator.com/index.php/support/view/moxf6_moxf8_basic_audio_recording

In Auria, click on ‘Menu’ and select ‘Input Matrix’.  The track you want to use should let you select channels other than MIC.  It sounds like you are only seeing MIC as an available choice.

This is pretty much all I did to get it to work:  Set USB I/O in the Utility section to 2StereoRec.  And then all four USB channels became available in Auria within the input matrix.  Keep in mind, USB channels 3/4 are the main MOXF audio, while channels 1/2 are for the A/D input.

Main surprise came when I connected Kurzweil PC3 to Moxf MIDI input. (I coudn’t do it on my XS. I had to choose midi or usb.) Then I was able to play Ipad,s synths using PC3 keyboard without triggering Moxf sound engine. It looks like Moxf midi in is just bypassing moxf engine and going directly to moxf USB interface midi out.

I can’t get this to work.

Setup

Nord MIDI Out to MOXF MIDI In

MOXF USB out to iPad in

MIDI In/Out on MOXF set to USB

MOXF plays synth on iPad (iMini) and audio comes back through MOXF

Nord does not play MOXF or iPad

Now MIDI In/Out on MOXF set to MIDI

Nord plays MOXF but MIDI is not routed to iPad - so no sound from iMini although I can play a fews keys on iMini and the sound comes through the MOXF.

How do you get the MOXF MIDI In to bypass MOXF and go direct to USB?

When you want to connect other instrument than MOXF to iPad or some computer DAW
(PC or Mac) you should have to set MIDI port. Whatever DAW you are using or iPad application,
you should select as MIDI input “Yamaha MOXF port 3”. MOXF uses port 3 to transmit MIDI data from / to
its 5pin MIDI input/output over USB. See page 54, Owner’s Manual.

Solution is very simple. All what you did is correct, only few things is missing.

Press Utility, SF4(other) and set Midi in/out to USB
Press Quick setup + bank button A(1) - Nord and moxf will both play Ipad sounds
Or
Press Quick setup + B(2)- Nord will play Ipad and Moxf will play Moxf sounds
Or
Press quick setup + C(3)- Nord will play Ipad and Moxf will play Moxf+Ipad

I am talking Nord but I have PC3’ but I think there is no differance
