 +Discussion thread originating this section: [[https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/52363/aum-effecting-xequence-timing-solved|AUM effecting Xequence timing? Solved]]
  
-As from version 2.3, Xequence 2 allows import/export of the so-called instruments, retaining+=== Korg Gadget === 
 +no timing challenges, Korg Gadget makes use of the MIDI timestamps generated by Xequence 2. 
 +Clock syncing is possible 
 + 
 +=== AudioBus 3 === 
 +no timing challenges, Clock syncing is possible 
 + 
 +=== AUM === 
 +AUM (1.4) does not use the MIDI timestamps when received over CoreMIDI (AUM Destination virtual MIDI port). 
 +At small sample buffer sizes (512 bytes or lower) this may not be a problem. 
 +Should you use 1024 or higher sample buffer size, wrong timing might become noticeable 
 + 
 +Best approach is to use Audiobus 3 / IAA 
 +  * In Audiobus 3 connect each Xequence 2 MIDI out port to an AUM MIDI receiver port (8 in total) 
 +  * In Xequence 2 use the Audiobus port in the instrument (Wavy icon, not MIDI connector icon) 
 +  * In AUM connect each audio unit to one single IAA ports. No need to filter MIDI channels in the AUM MIDI Control Destination screen, because each IAA port will receive only on MIDI channel 1 
 + 
 +Sync option 1 
 +  * use Ableton Link in both AUM and Xequence 2 
 +  * adjust the Ableton Link offset and/or the Minimum latency in AUM to get perfect timings. Example on an iPad 6th gen/iOS 15 good results at 2048 bytes buffer size with  
 +      * -64ms in Ableton Link offset 
 +      * 16ms minimum latency. 
 + 
 +Sync option 2 
 +  * use MIDI clock syncing between Xequence 2 and Audiobus  
 +    * create an X2 instrument connected to the Audiobus 3 MIDI port, and activate the Send Sync option 
 +    * make sure Audiobus 3 listen to MIDI clock on its Virtual MIDI port, in teh sync settings 
 +  * adjust the Ableton Link offset  (not the Minimum latency) in AUM and the Audiobus clock input offset to get perfect timings. Example on an iPad 6th gen/iOS 15 good results  at 2048 bytes buffer size with  
 +      * Audiobus clock input offset at 16ms 
 +      * in AUM: -16ms in Ableton Link offset. 
 + 
 + 
 +Then you should be able to record MIDI in Xequence 2 and play it back, and sequencers/drum machines hosted in AUM remain sync'ed with Xequence 2 in both cases.

 +For the Moog apps we use the built-in CC mapping system. Advantages: you can use the CC map also in other apps, and when you use it in AUM, you don't need to change the MIDI channel to the one you set for the Audio Unit (not to mention it was faster to make the mapping match that of the Xequence 2 instrument).
