Can anyone play Beatmaker2 and other apps in sync?

With iPhone (not iPad), can you get 2 apps or more in sync?

I just want to play BeatMaker2 and Korg Gadget at once so I can hear how the music I work on is.

I want to use BeatMaker2 as a sampler and audio recorder for vocal while Gadget as any other instruments.

Gadget's synths have really good sounds but it doesn't have audio recorder and just has samplers not so easy to use. (It can hardly play samples in tune as you wish)

Now I have no choice but render the sound through Gadget and paste it on BeatMaker2.

But this way doesn't allow me to make any changes easily, especially what I programmed on Gadget.

I have AudioBus and AUM and I tried with them myself but it just didn't work.

Does anyone know something about this matter?
Thank you!

    Works great! Be sure to go into Global MIDI Setup in BM2 and activate "Clock Send" & "MIDI Out" then go into Gadget Settings and select MIDI Sync "Auto". BM2 is the Master so start and stop the clock from BM2. To record Gadget directly into BM2 open it as an IAA Instrument by clicking on the +INSTR. Button, select the AUDIO APPS button in the next window then scroll till you see Gadget, click on the icon and BM2 will create the audio input.

    Thank you, Philowerx!
    I tried as your instruction and it almost worked out.
    Yeah, it's about MIDI settings.

    But then another problem came up.
    Though thanks to your advice, I can hear both sounds of BeatMaker2 and Gadget in sync, the pitch of all the sounds of BeatMaker2 got higher somehow.
    When I think of it, that sometimes happens these days.
    Of course I rebooted and tried again.
    Since then, I can't open Gadget through BeatMaker2 any longer.
    I tried opening Gadget in advance but it failed.
    By the way, I use iPhone 6s Plus.
    Well, I don't know but It might just work with iPad.

    Thank you again, Philowerx:)
    Also thanks for the list you showed us at the other thread.

    That's odd. Sounds like something got corrupted. Backup all files used by BM2 and Gadget, delete the apps reload and see if that helps. I'm using a iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.4, BM2 Version 2.5.6.

    Sorry for the so late reply!

    I'm using iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.3.2, BM2 Version 2.6.0.

    I thought it was because of iOS 9 but now thanks to intua I can use beatmaker2 and korg gadget at the same time. There seems no pitch problem anymore:)

    By the way, on top of the thread list, I found intua's tips.

    <<Controlling the BeatMaker 2 sample recorder from another app>>

    I never knew the way to record a sample into keyboard sampler straightly from an other app.
    This is so nice!
    I tried it and I did make it the other day.
    Now I can use even Korg Gadget sounds with Keyboard sampler of BeatMaker2 so easily.

    Thank you for the useful tips, intua!!

    Hey @lee ! Glad the last update fixed your sampling rate issue.

    The FAQ/Tips section need a bit more exposure.
    We'll take time to write more articles in the future :-)

    Cheers.
    Mathieu.
