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.

QLab is the most powerful Live show software to control your performances.

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.
