Getting Magellan Synth (ipad) To Show Up In Garageband (imac)?, Sorry, Newbie Question Options

[PrettyLittleLiar]

Hi
I would like to play magellan as a virtual instrument in garageband. The instructions in Magellan are pretty sparse and I have spent days trying to figure out how to do it.

Here is a link to the user manual pdf - the midi bits are on page 23: http://www.yonac.com/support/index.html#magellanum

According to the instructions, you can midi out from magellan via wifi.

I have created a temporary network on my imac running osx 10.8.4

connected the ipad to the temporary wifi network

gone to audio / midi settings under utilities on the imac and created a new session under "network"

clicked the ipad under "directories" and then "connect" and it then appears next to "participants", so am pretty sur eit is connected.

However, when I launch Garageband and create an instrument track,when I go to the edit panel and search for all instruments listed, it does not appear.

Am I missing something?

Basically, I am building the song in garageband and want to use magellan to add additional effects, sounds etc. I do not want to have to build a separate track in magellan and then 'record' it and export it via wifi and then put the two together in GB.

I apologise if I am unclear in my description of my problem. I am very new to all of this and not very technically minded. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sorry, should add that, in Magellan, I have gone to the prefs tab and clicked the midi out button. When I click on outputs, my wifi session is listed there and when I click it it gets the checkmark next to it.

what you're trying to do just won't work.
if i read your post correctly, you've got an idea of using Magellan, on your ipad, as an AU plug in in Garageband on your imac, remotely via wifi.
not possible.
Magellan isn't an au plug in.
it may be possible to stream midi out from GB (or another sequencer) to a wifi session, and play Magellan on your ipad.
the resulting audio stream could be saved to a file and imported into an audio track in GB.
Magellan's 'midi out' is not relevant in this instance.
it's easy to confuse MIDI with Audio when you start working in this field, and i think you've hung up on that snag. i hope this helps. there are tons of great (even free) AU instruments that will work in GB, locally on your imac.
good luck!

Thank you so much for your response. Yes you were totally correct in that I did not understand the difference between audio outputs and midi outputs. I did get GB to pick up the midi signals (and got some very interesting effects) via wifi though. But will look at exporting the soundfile and importing it into GB later.

Thanks again - am learning loads.

PS Magellan is amaaaaazing.
