iPad and iPhone in the background
On iPad and iPhone the routing keeps running when you switch to another app, for example a synth or a lyrics app: the keyboard connected to AR Midi Patchbox keeps playing the synth in the foreground.
- To stay active, the app keeps a silent audio session open that mixes with other apps: it does not stop your music and does not show up as Now Playing.
- After a phone call, Siri or a headphone change, the session starts again by itself.
- If you close the app from the app switcher (swiping it up), its virtual ports disappear and routing stops. When you open it again, your setup is back as it was.
The silent session uses very little battery. If you do not need the routing, close the app from the app switcher.
