How to connect Audio Ape Pro to your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.
Here we show you how to connect your Audio Ape Pro to an Apple iOS device like iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch.
To connect a Lighting iOS device to the Audio Ape Pro you will need an Apple Certified iOS Lightning to USB adapter. You can get one by clicking here.
If you are using the newer iOS devices that have a USB C port instead of a lightning port, you do not need this adapter. Instead just use the included USB C to USB C cable.

Using MIDI with Go Button.
Go Button is a powerful iOS app to control your live show sound cues.
It's made by the industry leaders in software show control Figure 53.
We are thrilled to offer MIDI controls to run Go Button.
Below is a button to download the pre-built remote profile for Go Button. Note that the downloading of it using the download button below is not supported on iOS (iPhone, iPad)
You must first download it to your Mac laptop or desktop by using the green button below, then airdrop it over from your Apple computer to your iOS device.
Once the profile is moved to the iOS device and shows up in Go Button you will still need to mark that new Audio Ape Pro profile as the active one, you can see this done at the end of the video above.
QLab is the most powerful Live show software to control your performances.
It's made by the industry leaders in software show control Figure 53.
We are thrilled to offer MIDI controls to control QLab.
Note volume control cannot be controlled using MIDI commands. Therefore we use keyboard commands (vol up and down) to control the overall system volume.
Something to be aware of is when sending keyboard commands to control your OS X system volume. You will have to use the control panel in OS X to specify the sound output you want to control the volume of.
For example, if you are using the Audio Ape Pro's headphone output, you will have to select that output where the blue arrow is pictured.
