Basic Routing Guide

Introduction

Utilizing IAA, Audiobus or CoreMIDI (possibly at the same time) may lead to confusion as to what route a signal takes. The following article illustrates the types and routing of the connections available.

Inter-App Audio

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.

Audiobus

Audiobus transmits audio as well as MIDI signals.
Signals travel from input to effect to output.
Cubasis can be set as input, output or both.
If Cubasis is selected as output, either the effect app will appear as possible Audiobus input or the input directly, if no effect is present.

Note: To route MIDI via Audiobus, simply launch the Audiobus app, select the MIDI page at the bottom right and follow these instructions. As an alternative method, add a MIDI track and configure MIDI in the Inspector's Routing panel:

CoreMIDI

Either connect Cubasis directly to another MIDI app / external device or
Use Virtual MIDI where all enabled apps send and receive among each other.
