Set List Maker 3.4 adds the ability to send separate audio signals (either an attached recording, tempo click sound or starting pitch) to separate output ports, so you can send a stereo backing track to your PA and send tempo or pitch sounds to your headphones or in-ear monitors. (Playing two recordings simultaneously is not yet supported.)

This functionality requires a USB audio interface connected to your iOS device via the iPad Camera Connection Kit. I'm using a Roland Duo-Capture mk2:

While researching what device to buy, I found more compatible interfaces listed here, but these were more than I needed for a simple dual-stereo-ouput setup:

If you've tested a product that works or doesn't work with your iPad, please post your results here.

Like you, I was hoping to find a simple and affordable, USB-powered audio dongle with a short lightning cable and a 3.5mm socket, for a few tens of $/£.  It seems to be a tall order.  An adaptor simply uses the headphone signal.

I guess this one does it...

Have I missed one, anybody?

Thanks Kiff.  Not sure if that gives ADC audio or just a repeat of the headphone but mine is a lightning connector anyway.
