out all four knobs at once. The Knob Automation Time specifies how long it takes a knob to
automate between the two values.
Audio Latency
Low latency is perfect for any performance and is fully compatible when using AudioBus. If you
have an older iPad and you are using lots of CPU intensive 3rd party apps in the background,
you may need to set audio latency to High (Slow Devices) to avoid audio clicks due to limited
shared CPU resources. The latest and greatest iPads generally have no problem managing
several audio processing apps simultaneously.
Performance Recording
If you are shy and you would rather not record the front facing camera video into your
performances, you can disable face recording and select “screen only”. You will still end up with
a compelling video as your audience will be able to see all screen activity that went into creating
your masterpiece.
Stop Audio When In the Background
When using AudioBus you generally want Voice Jam Studio to stop audio when you move to
the background since AudioBus will maintain the streaming connection on its own. The case
where you might want it to play in the background is when you are not using AudioBus but you
are MIDI syncing to a 3rd party app and you want to switch to that app without Voice Jam Studio
stopping.
MIDI Sync
Syncing to an App
One or more iPad apps can communicate together using Apple’s virtual MIDI protocol. Voice
Jam Studio can slave-sync with any app capable of generating MIDI clock output and capable of
following the industry standard MIDI standards when it comes to MIDI syncing behaviours.
Open the 3rd party app and select Voice Jam Studio as an output. In Voice Jam Studio
settings, enable MIDI sync and select “Virtual Input” as the source.
Syncing to external MIDI
Voice Jam Studio has been extensively tested with Ableton Live and can slave sync very
effectively during performance. Connect your computer via a MIDI connector to an iPad MIDI
input exposed by a 3rd party lightning device or USB soundcard or MIDI device connected to
the Apple camera connection kit. Direct Ableton Live to output MIDI sync clock to the iPad MIDI
device. In Voice Jam Studio settings, enable “Slave to External Tempo” and choose the 3rd
party MIDI device. When you start Ableton playing the downbeat will synchronize and you’ll be
able to create new loops in sync with ableton. The loops will stay in sync thanks to Voice Jam
Studio’s anti-drift MIDI sync feature.
