IPads + MacMini + Bitwig

OK I'm quite impressed.
Traditionaly I usually just use Mac/PC but thought I'd explore the potential of adding a couple of old IPads. When I had tried in the past it seemed very awkward.
I just plugged in an ipad to my MacMini and hit Enable in the audio midi utility.
Now in Bitwig it not only sees the Ipad which I can use with midi in/out and Audio, but I can create hybrid audio device combos to combine multiple devices including my main interface.
I got Heinbachs Fluss on the Ipad to get started and I'm getting audio in my Daw with no issues and running it through Vallhalla Supermassive.
Have yet to explore multi outs using interfaces but definitely going to have some fun with developing this further.

Yes, that is the way I do it as well… The iPad hosts a lot of unique instrument plugins. That way I can integrate them into Bitwig.
But as there are more and more AUv3 plugins running on Apple Silicon Macs, I prefer to host those in Bidule as wrapper instead…
