Press AdminMulti-Computer Audio & MIDI Interface enables new creative workflow possibilities for Mac, PC, iOS and standalone use
4/16/2015 2015 Musikmesse, Frankfurt, Germany – iConnectivity, developer of innovative interfaces for musicians, announces the immediate worldwide availability of iConnectAUDIO4+™, their next-generation audio and MIDI interface for Mac, PC and iOS.
iConnectAUDIO4+ is a multi-host audio and MIDI interface for MAC, PC, and iOS that enables new possibilities in creative workflow by combining several of iConnectivity’s innovative technologies in a uniquely flexible device.
iConnectAUDIO4+’s Multi-Host technology supports multiple audio and MIDI peripherals, and also multiple computing devices, all at once. iConnectAUDIO4+ can do the job of multiple interfaces and numerous cables. Any combination of up to 2 Mac, PC, and iOS devices as well as up to 9 connected MIDI peripherals can share iConnectAUDIO4+’s high 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 professional environment, with many practical applications. Control a virtual instrument (or any music program) 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 unique 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.
