Scope

[edit | edit source]

Inter-App Audio is a host-plugin technology. An IAA host application connects to a node application to send and receive audio, MIDI, timeline information, and other signals.

Node applications

[edit | edit source]

Node applications can be of the following types:

  • Instruments (can receive MIDI signals and produce audio signals)
  • Generators (can produce audio signals)
  • Effects (can receive, transform and send back audio signals)

Limitations

[edit | edit source]

At the moment, audio signal routing is only possible with a sampling rate of 44.1KHz.

Deprecation

[edit | edit source]

Inter-App Audio was deprecated in 2019 with the release of iOS 13 in favor of the third version of Audio Units.[2]
