Post by danicano »

Is there a way to use korg gadget and at the same time other app playing backing tracks, that is, running two music apps simultaniously?

No, dont think its standard possible but, try out yourself?

BUT Only some "simple" combination could work, like I can play (start first) mp3/mp4 with VLC player then with Yamaha Synth & Dr Pad can sound together.

Or Sleep Pillow together with Yamaha Synth works together BUT not Sleep Pillow with VLC.
So very random which works with which.

Thanks for answering. For the time being, I think I'll use my phone for backing tracks and the ipad for playing live.

YES with Audiobus app from appstore!
You'll need Audiobus Compatible Apps:

Just test it with 4 apps playing together simultaneously all sounds playing!
1) Korg Gadget
2) Korg iMS20
3) Yamaha Mobile Sequencer
4) Yamaha Synth & Dr Pad

There's a glitch when adding Gadget, first load Gadget alone then make New blank without any gadgets. Force close Gadget app.
Now with Audiobus add/open Gadget, now it work normally instead return to desktop.

Yes any app you currently have that runs background audio, (most of mine do) will continue playing your backing tracks while you control Gadget. No Audiobus required even.
