For support on any of my apps, please
send me an email by clicking:
Q: I just updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1 and none of your apps make any sound!
A: Apple messed up the Mute state in the update. Please visit this site for a simple fix.
Q: I have an iPad with iOS5 and the sound stops when I put four fingers on the screen.
A: Go into the iPad Settings app, and disable the "Multitasking Gestures" feature.
If it is on, when you put 4 fingers on the screen, Apple completely takes over the system, stops the sound and starts switching between apps.
Q: I'm not hearing any sound from the app, please help! Other programs are making sound!
A: Please check that the mute switch on your iPad is turned off.
Even if other apps are making sound, my apps, which allow you to play along with music in your iTunes collection have to respect the position of the mute switch.
In the iPad Settings app you can select between orientation lock or mute for the physical switch on the side of the device.
If you've selected orientation lock for the switch, then the mute is on the far left side of the task bar. Double click the home button and then slide the task bar all the way to the left.
This video explains about the assignment of the mute switch.
Q: I'm running a CoreMIDI virtual synth on my device, but I don't hear any sound when using your CoreMIDI control surfaces.
A: Please check that "Background Audio" is enabled on the virtual synth app you are running.
Also check that the virtual synth app has an active patch on the same MIDI channel(s) you are sending from the control surface app.
Q: Which other CoreMIDI synthesizer apps can be controlled by your control surface apps?
A: The iOS Musician website is maintaining a comprehensive list of apps that support virtual MIDI ports.
The majority of my testing has been with IK Multimedia SampleTank®.
