[AES] MOTU adds iPad support to the Microbook IIc
MOTU announces that the Microbook IIc is USB audio class compliant.
MOTU is now shipping the MicroBook IIc, an updated version of its personal studio interface for Mac and Windows. As the "c" appended to its name implies, the MicroBook IIc is now USB audio class compliant, which means that users can connect it to an Apple iPad with a standard Apple camera adapter cable, giving them studio-grade audio I/O for their iPad music and audio apps.
When connected to an iPad, the MicroBook IIc is powered by a standard Micro-B-to-Type-A USB cable with attached AC power adapter (both included). This helps preserve maximum battery life for the iPad. When connected to a Mac or PC, the MicroBook IIc is bus-powered by the USB connection to the computer. No separate power connection is necessary.
The MicroBook IIc inherits all of the advanced features of the MicroBook II, including:

About a year and a half ago, Antelope released the Discrete, a new range of

Now back in June 2019, Antelope releases a new version of its Discrete 4, this time
