Using an ipad as an analog i/p

Support
1

I have several apps on the iPad that I want to play along with I.e. Moises, Jammer, Erskn Jazz etc. can I set up an analog I/p? Is the 1/4 plug stero? As I understand from a training video after this is set up I can drag it to a global setting and it will function across all kit?

I did get it to work as a analog I/p. I tried several inputs “C” first than “A” direct mic in on the front of the interface. If I used a stero plug the audio sounded weak and distant. I switched to a mono plug and it worked perfectly. But while playing a kit there is some latency. I am working on resolving this issue.
I am going to try taking the main outs to my mixer and than routing everything to the main speakers. I don’t know if I’ll still experience the latency but we’ll see

Hi @Frank-F all the plugs on the portal are mono. So if you want to get a stereo signal in from your iPad, you’ll want to use a Y splitter or breakout cable. Something like this would work:

And if your iPad doesn’t have a headphone jack, you’ll need one of these: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HLCB03--hollyland-hl-cb03-usb-c-to-3.5mm-cable-adapter

You should be able to plug into the aux inputs on the back of the portal and then adjust the volume output on the iPad till you get a good level.

Then you’ll want to add an Audio Insert module to your set to get the audio routed in. You can put that in the global set if you want it everywhere.
