The Circuit does not repeat the MIDI information it receives. You will need something like this to send MIDI DIN to your computer.

If you can get them from Novation that is your best bet. But these appear to be the same thing (B version, much harder to find than the A version)

Get this cable: Headset Buddy attenuator cable link

Use it to get the sound from your main out or headphone out to your phone. It attenuates the signal and gives it to your phone like it was an external mic. It allows you to record directly to Instagram or to your phone, just make sure you're not clipping and have in mind the signal will be mono.

Great audio quality and super versatile. You can even use a splitter cable to monitor yourself. Totally recommended.

That was very clear and insightful, thank you very much! I guess I could experiment with the circuit, or just cave in and get an actual midi interface. Speaking of which, are those usb midi cable thingies any good? Like this one, for example

https://www.amazon.co.uk/HEADPHONE-ADAPTER-PREMIUM-Earphones-Connections/dp/B007ZR1ZBE/ref=asc_df_B007ZR1ZBE/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309953091299&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3286679552267185424&hvpone=&hvptwo=...

a 3.5mm cable to go from the volca, then something like this on one end before going into the tracks.

You can also do this with Audiobus, which is cheaper than Aum (but less powerful.

It will still let you run multiple ipad synth apps, run them through fx apps and mix them together into the audio out.

Sorry, had the name wrong!

There are others with the same design, different name. Some cheaper than these. I got these for $15 each months back, but the price went up. These are awesome, cheap, and get the job done. Don't buy those boutique-y stands for like $65 when this can easily do the job just as well. :)

See my other comment about midi through and there are also cheap midi split cables for connecting multiple devices to one

So for the circuit, you're using both the midi thru and midi out (set as those) and inputting them both into the merger?

Looks like you've got this one - https://www.amazon.com/MIDI-Solutions-2-input-Merger/dp/B0002GH8LQ .. about to purchase this so I can try it too.

Does this let you listen to both the volca and typhoon, AND control them both through the sequencer?

Re: first Circuit & Youtube vids - Me too!!

I found this mixer case on Amazon. According to the reviews it should fit Circuit perfectly.

Happy to share my impressions. Upvote if you're curious.

That one will likely be just fine. Mixers like these don't normally handle microphone inputs, but would manage instruments well enough.

warning for any finger-drummers reading: These Bluetooth adapters have latency. Even the best 'low latency' ones only get it as low as 30-40ms, which isn't horrible but it's enough to feel. If you're mostly working in the step sequencer it won't be a big problem, but if you're trying to play anything in live, you might find the timing tricky.

There are other wireless audio transmitter/receivers which can achieve sub-millisecond or close to it, they're the 900MHz and 2.4GHz short range analog systems that have been on the market for 20 years or so. The audio fidelity will be a little poorer, but the timing will be lockstep.

eta: There are also these kinds of transmitters, which can send a signal to any regular broadcast FM receiver. They work great, especially for jamming in the car on a road trip.

I got this one which is a tiny puck thing:

https://www.amazon.com/Giveet-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Streaming-Headphones/dp/B07198BBZN/ref=sr_1_14?crid=3QR51LY8COIXY&dchild=1&keywords=bluetooth+transmitter&qid=1595725316&sprefix=bluett%2Caps%2C577&sr=8-14

I think the taotronics ones are also good, but they where sold out.

Paired it with a wonder boom 2

Looking at some of the audio interfaces on the low end they seem to have one input for the 1/4 audio cable. Which of the below is preferred? Again, thanks for the help everyone.

Cable 1 type where it goes from L & R channels and merge to one

Or Cable 2 where L & R stay split as two cables
