This bug has been fixed in version 7.1.2 which has been released on November 6th 2019.

It turns out if you first connect HDMI to the iPad and then launch the iMiX16 app and lastly connect the headphones jack, the iPad routes the the sound via the headphones jack and not the HDMI cable. This was tested on iPadOS 13.2.2.

Thanks to user Henk G. who send us this solution.

If your show requires more channels than 16, 32 or 64 (depends which version of the iMiX16 app you have) there is one thing you can do:

• create several projects (setups) for your show, for example: My Show 1, My Show 2, etc.,
• in My Show 1 load any audio file into desired audio channel and then set audio channel name to "$OS=My Show 2" (without " of course),
• when you play this audio channel, it will not play loaded audio file, but it will load project (setup) with given name - in this case My Show 2.

Note that

Here are download links of MIDI / OSC mapping files created by MiX16 PRO users. Mapping files are free to use and can be modified and improved. If you wish to share your mapping files with the world, please send them to info@mix16apps.com.
