And the Firewire...

Hello. I own a FireWire Edirol FA-66. I plan to plug it with a ancient FW/Dock cable to test it.

But before, I'd like to ask if something dangerous for the iPad could occured.

If someone knows, that would be great :) Many tanx ! Olivier.

May ancient (2001/2002) Edirol UA-5 audio interface works with the CCK and without the need for any hub (powered or otherwise). You have to flip the "Advanced" switch in the back to off so that it uses the basic drivers, but it still records and plays back at up to 24-bit/48kHz. It's also got coax and SPDIF in/out too which means it should interface nicely with my primary firewire audio interface for my PC.

The 8i6 does still require a power source, yes?

Yes, the 8i6 and 18i6 need their own power supply (but no hub is required).

Here's another thing that I've found very useful: a dock extender cable. You plug the dock extender cable into the iPad and then plug the CCK into the other end of the cable. The one I got off Amazon actually squeeze-latches into the dock connector port, securing it way better than the CCK was ever secured. Also, since the connector on the cable is only 1/4 as long as the CCK is, it reduces strain on the connector port (I also use a Survivor case, so the cable connector fits better with that, too).

It's kind of cool: I can leave my USB cable plugged into the CCK and leave that plugged into the extender cable so I'm not constantly plugging and unplugging that.

Rim, I know the motu 828 is listed as DNW ,could you explain why? Also is it something motu might be able to fix in the future?
One other thing I have noticed. After I installed auria on my iPad, when I open garage band, open a song, hit play, I get one note and it stops play, hit play again, same thing again and again , until I change the view from tracks to instrument, then all good!
Love this app great work and thanks for all your help!

We found that the multichannel interfaces by motu don't work with iPads, because they are not class compliant (they need special drivers). Unless motu switches to driverless, there's nothing that can be done...

Are you referring to running Auria in "Background Audio Mode" along with GarageBand?

Tried my Edirol M-16dx Mixer/multichannel recording interface NOT WORKING

Tried on a copy CCK
no hub (not got one) but the mixer has its own power anyway
iPad just says USB device not supported


shame would have been perfect form my needs

Dunno if edirol can do something with the firmware to it to make it work

Don't hold your breath waiting for Roland to update any Edirol drivers. Edirol interfaces are pretty hit and miss in my experience. My UA-5 works but my GS-10 doesn't. If the mixer has an "advanced" driver switch make sure that is turned off. Also, if you have even an unpowered USB hub, try it. My Zoom H4n didn't work even with its own power until I used it with unpowered USB hub. Good luck!
