sending tracks and click with band helper

[cheny]

I run Band Helper on an ipad.
It has a set list and changes sounds on my new modx m7.
I want to run backing track through the ipad and click.
THE PROBLEM:
modx has only main L+R outputs.
how can i run a click and keep a stere signal?

(been thinking of a simple drum machine but most of the m don't have midi in with program change or don't have a song/setlist memory)

Please share your thoughts with me.

This may or may not be an answer, depending on the need for true stereo or if you just need to send L/R to a IEM or similar.

In a duo w/tracks gig I do, we also needed a click to time intros and some song break sections. Obviously, you don't want the click in the mains. The problem was that an iPad only puts out a left/right signal, and it does it all the time.

My solution was to mix the sources going to be played in the iPad with the click left and all the music sources right. Each runs to their own input channel in the mixer. The left (click) signal is routed to the monitor sends, and muted in the mains. The right (audio) signal is routed to both the monitors and mains to be mixed with other audio inputs.

So, in IEMS, we are really getting a "Dual Mono" mix and not true stereo but it works fine. As mentioned, this is only a solution if mono is ok. If you need a true stereo output end-to-end, it will take a few more devices to accommodate that need.

You said "I want to run backing track through the ipad and click." Do you mean you want to play the backing track and click track from the iPad?

You also said "modx has only main L+R outputs." The keyboard's audio outputs wouldn't matter if you're playing the backing track from the iPad, so it's unclear what you're trying to do.
