steve842 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The Apogee JAM and Ampkit LiNK HD both support USB modes (and USB cables) for use with a computer as well as the 30 pin connectors. What about the Sonic Port? I use a USB hub/CCK on my iPad to allow both audio and midi USB devices to be connected. Hoping that a USB cable for the sonic port would be available and if so, I would purchase one. Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nu2moro Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Do you want to record the audio from the mobile pod amp? If yes, do some research with regard to the limitations of recording the mobile pod app within other ios apps. As far as I am aware only garage band has some limited functionality, unless someone at line6 knows anything different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve842 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Nah, don't care about the mobile pod app. Just looking for an interface that has the ins and outs that the sonic port provides to use with other apps. I like the specs on the sonic port better than Ampkit LiNK HD (24 bit vs 16 bit). Although, just realized that I overlooked the fact that the sonic port doesn't have hardware level controls for the input/output. That may be a deal breaker after all. Edit: Meant sonic port, not mobile in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nu2moro Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Never had any problems not having gain control on mobile in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchibnik Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Seems like SonicPort is only for iOS as no USB cables are included - only 30 pin and lightning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve842 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks for the replies, but I won't just be plugging high impedance guitars into this thing so I need at least a hardware line in level control so I will keep looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerven Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 USB support on OSX should work since the unit is class compliant. no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkeebler Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I would also like to see USB interface, I mainly use this as an input interface and would love to use it on my MacMini (OSx) as a line-in as well as iOS devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerven Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 maybe this would work? http://www.is-pc-parts.com/female-30pin-to-male-usb-cable-for-iphone-ipad-p-1613.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gburks Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 BUMP! I have the SonicPort, and need to add a midi interface. Any chance it would work through a USB hub at the same time as a midi interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashcraaft Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Someone with the skills should build this adapter and sell it. I would buy one for sure if it comes within the 20 USD price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamtracks Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hey guys ;-) I just bough the Sonic Port again (for the 3rd time, haha )), and I wanted to use it with my MacBook. Anybody tried the Apple Pencil adapter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamtracks Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 UPD: the “el cheapo” cable for Apple pencil doesn’t work, so I just cut the 30-pin and soldered the standard USB. It works! )) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henui Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hello, I bought sonic port (without VX), but in my complectation i found only lightning cable. My ipad air 2 works perfect. But i have also iphone 4s and ipad2. Here https://line6.com/sonicport-audio-interface/specs/ you promise Ipad2 and Iphone 4s support, but these devices need 30 pin cable. Why this cable does not included in complectation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_solovey Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hi there. I'm tried a hack with Sonic Port (non-VX). I'm cut 30 pin connector and soldered USB, but got terrible latency in ASIO4All v2 driver in Cubase on Windows 7. I'm tried to install VX drivers but they don't work. Which divers do you use? I would be grateful about any info about compartible drivers. Thanks . Max. My English maybe is terrible, sorry, I'm russian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
