Digitakt with apogee duet

Hello,
I’m trying to use my digitakt with the apogee duet for iPad/iphone. I attached the digitakt midi usb to the midi port of the duet and they don’t seem to be communicating. Apogee said the digitakt needs to have core audio which it says it does.
Thanks for any info

The dt does not have core audio, a special driver is needed to get usb audio. That driver isn’t currently available to the public.

if you are trying to record video and audio from the DT at the same time you dont use the USB.

Get a pair of 1/4 cables and plug them to DT output and then to the Apogee input. Then plug in the Apogee to a power outlet and the Micro USB to your phone (You need to buy a separate cable).

Then you can record video from iphone while it records the audio from DT at the same time.

I also dont think that the Apogee USB can receive Audio, I have not used it on mine but I remember reading it just acts as a midi hub.

I have recorded audio with the duet and used a midi keyboard into the midi input of the duet to control synths on an iOS device. I just thought it would be great to use the digitakt as a midi controller/ sequencer to trigger synths with my iPhone through the duet because there’s no headphone jack on the iPhone.
Thanks

You dont need a headphone jack, if you plug in the duet to the iphone it can send and receive audio. Just plug in your headphones to the headphone jack of the Duet, you just cant send audio into the duet through the USB input (the one that sais MIDI on top), you need 1/4 inch cables for that.

You can use the dt to do midi through usb as you described you do with other controllers, just not audio.
