Once you're done, simply hit the Host app's logo button in the transport tab and the Node will go into background mode, returning you to the Host. You'll even get a pop-up tab containing the Host's transport controls. Selecting a Node within a Host app will result in it being opened automatically, so you can set up and edit the instrument or effects as desired. If you have compatible apps installed on your device, the available Nodes should automatically appear in the relevant menu in any Host app (make sure your apps are fully updated if you can't see them). Nodes, meanwhile, are either instruments or sound sources that feed a signal directly into the Host, or processors, which can either be insert effects, processing a sound from the Host before feeding it back in, or are instrument apps which receive MIDI from the Host and then return an audio signal.įrom a user's perspective, IAA involves very little setup, and generally works pretty smoothly. Hosts are destination apps equipped to receive a signal, which at the moment include the likes of Cubasis, Auria and Tabletop. IAA-compatible apps fall into two categories - Hosts and Nodes.
