In 2003, MOTU followed this up with a MkII version, offering better metering, support for high sample rates and additional MIDI I/O. The original 828 was the very first FireWire audio interface, and proved enormously successful, thanks to its well-judged blend of analogue and digital I/O. Likewise, MOTU have had a product named the 828 in their range for no fewer than 17 years, but the world of audio interfaces moves fast, and we are now on the fifth generation. Today’s Volkswagen Golf doesn’t have much in common mechanically with its 1974 ancestor, but it occupies the same position in the automobile market, and benefits from four decades of accumulated brand recognition. In many walks of life, manufacturers will use the same name to refer to successive generations of products.

I was looking for an audio recorder, to record my live session, I think it should work, also using the Korg Monopoly iOS app without connecting it to an audio input and using a bus should work as well ! Enven multi track recording should work… Sounds really really good ! Hope it will works as expected… It seems that Audiobus app can allow me to route the input / output to the right app, do you have any information about the way it works on iPad, can you confirm ? Anyway if this works, it should be totally possible to use the the different App to control the mixer and record at the same time as they don’t use the same way.MOTU’s 828 series has been a valuable studio workhorse for nearly two decades, and the latest is the best one yet. I’m not home right now and can’t test it, but I will and tell you asap. I already though that it was great… But your message make me realise that it’s compatible with iOS… I never payed too much attention to that, but it opens a lot of new possibilities. That’s useful, especially because mixer params are not accessible from the front panel.Īt first I used an ethernet adapter and plugged it physically, but turns out, it’s easier and more reliable by WiFi, so I plugged a small Wifi router on the back of the Motu. Hello ! Indeed I was talking about controlling the internal mixer from the Motu Touch Control App on the iPad.

(Currently thinking a separate midi interface plus a tc helicon blender might work best for this as a cheap and cheerful solution at half the ultralite avb price).Ĭan you do basic mixer stuff on this from the front panel, like setting up fx sends and stuff? I’ve been searching for audio interface options for the iPad /PC that are truly standalone, and have midi i/o, have enough ins and outs, and are reasonably compact. If yes, would you need to (or can you) combine that with the usb connection to use the Ultralite as the audio interface to the iPad into AUM or Auria?įrom what I’ve read when connected to pc/Mac you can access the mixer via the web host and use the audio interface at the same time on a single usb or Ethernet cable, but from an ipad it would be usb for audio only, and the AVB would need to be wired to a wifi router for the iPad to find it via the discovery app. Hey, can you tell me a little bit more about how this works? Btw, are you still using it? I’ve gone as far as reading the firmware change log and have learned nothingĭo you mean you can control the ultralite avb mixer from the iPad by a direct wired Ethernet connection between the iPad and AVB?
