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.

AUM Clock Sync Fail - CME WIDI Master - Arturia Keystep
Just checking this out. All connected ok but looking at the ARP.
In AUM I’ve selected WIDI Master Bluetooth as the MIDI Clock Source and turned on Send MIDI Clock. On the back of the Keystep I’ve changed the Master Clock Source to MIDI.
But, when changing the Tempo in AUM the ARP doesn’t change timing.
Any ideas?
Comments
Is the transport running in AUM?
Yes Transport running in AUM and Play engaged on Keystep so an ARP plays. It just doesn’t change tempo when you change tempo in AUM
Use a midi monitor to see if the clock is actually being received. Note that tempo is calculated by receivers from the time between clock events. Clock (unlike ableton link) does contain tempo information.
It can’t be as the ARP tempo doesn’t change when the AUM tempo is changed.
Does anyone have a WIDI Master, Arturia Keystep and AUM?
Some Bluetooth devices don't pass clock and sysex messages to conserve bandwidth. If you can reverse the situation by setting the Circuit to send midi to the iPad and check with a midi monitor, it might tell you something.
Or if you have another iOS device or a desktop that you can connect the WIDI to, you may be able use a midi monitor on it to check if clock is being received.
I don’t have a WIDI Master but how do you set the clock source to WIDI master in AUM? As far as I know AUM can’t receive MIDI clock. It can only send it.
If I’m understanding your issue correctly sounds like you have to set it up the other way around. AUM needs to be the clock source and then changing AUM’s BPM should change the Keystep BPM.
I think that was just mis-phrased. I assume it meant setting the MIDI Clock destination.
I wrote that off as a possibility since setting AUM as a clock destination isn't possible.
AUM can’t receive clock. AUM is set to send clock to the Keystep via the WIDI Master Bluetooth
AUM > Tap Tempo > Tap 3 Dots > Send MIDI Clock > Connect MIDI Destinations = WIDI Master Bluetooth
In the AUM MIDI Routing it shows ‘MIDI Clock Built-In’ (AUM) going to ‘WIDI Master Bluetooth’
Expected behaviour is the clock from AUM would slow down or speed up the ARP in the Keystep when the tempo in AUM is changed.
Has anyone got it to work?
To clarify after the questions, under the ‘…’ in AUM’s Tempo you reach a menu with the header ‘CLOCK OPTIONS’. Under the ‘MIDI Clock Send’ setting the header changes to ‘MIDI Clock Source’ - this is where I got ‘Source’ from. There is a sub heading on that page called ‘ CONNECT MIDI DESTINATIONS’. It is under this sub heading you connect ‘WIDI Master Bluetooth - BLUETOOTH’.
