Geoshred on an iPad working with Sonar

[Martin Schiff]

After days of beating my head on my keyboard, I finally figured out how to make Geoshred on an iPad work both to record midi, and playback from that midi to the iPad routed to the computer sound.

Requirements:

Apple camera adapter
USB Midi adapter
3.5mm stereo male to dual 1/4" male (Even though Geoshred is mono)

1. Connect the 3.5mm male to the headphone jack on the iPad
2. Connect the 1/4" plugs to your audio interface line in
3. Open Sonar (or any DAW) and add an audio track.
4 Set the input on the audio track to the output of your audio device
5. Click the monitor button on the audio strip (headphones in Sonar)
6. At this point you should be able to hear  Geoshred play through your monitors
7. Add a midi track
8. In Geoshred, click the 3 dot menu button in upper right and select MIDI
9, Click Connect Send, and Connect Receive
     Click the midi connector icon and make sure Inputs and Outputs have the USB Midi interface set to Note Input and Note Output
10. Select the midi track and set its input to your MIDI interface OMNI (on mine, it's Focusrite  USB midi OMNI)
11. Set the midi track output to USB MIDI
12. In MIDI configuration on the Geoshred, set it to Multi Channel Mode.

Enable record for the MIDI track, and you should be able to record midi from Geoshred

Click play and it should play the midi through Geoshred on the iPad. 

It may be necessary to reclick on Connect Receive, or Connect Send, depending on how you are using the Geoshred at that moment.

Have Fun!
