Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Sync issues with the iConnectivity MIO10, a Circuit and Gadget 2.
I am trying to send MIDI sync, transport, notes and CC from a Novation Circuit to my iPad Pro running Gadget 2.
The Circuit is connected by USB to a controller hub which is connected to the USB port in the back on the right (for hubs).
The Circuit shows up in iConnectivity as a controller. I've turned on routing from the USB Circuit (2) to iPad Pro port 1.
On my iPad, 16 ports show up in AUM, so I'm assuming port 1 is the port carrying the MIDI data per my setup.
Gadget is set to Auto for Midi Sync, so it should pick up any sync commands sent to it, start and stop and match the tempo. However, when I push play on the Circuit, Gadget starts but doesn't pick up the BPM and continues to play on whatever internal BPM is set.
I've troubleshooted the issue by hooking the Circuit directly to the iPad by CCK and it worked flawlessly - so the issue is somewhere in the MIO10 data transfer.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? I can post a video if necessary.
