Multitracker is a live player that allows you to play multiple audio files and midi files comfortably and flexibly with the help of playlists. If a USB audio interface is connected to the iPad, the audio tracks (stems) of a song can be routed to any of the outputs of the interface. At the same time, the headphone output can also be used as an additional routing destination, so that you have two additional channels available. To play midi songs, Multitracker provides a midi player that allows each MIDI track to be assigned to any existing Midi device (whether via USB or iPad instrument such as Sound Canvas). Of course a midi song can be played in sync with audio tracks. If necessary, a metronome with 9 different click sounds and freely selectable time signature can be added to your song or be played alone. It has never been easier to play multitrack and midi songs on stage!

We spent a lot of time looking at how musician’s use their PA system, and again and again it comes to just one Universal Truth…Musicians just want to PLAY music. The key word there is PLAY, They want to get back to that as quickly as possible. They did not sign up to be sound engineers. Also, because of their lack of experience, they can actually make the system, and hence themselves, not sound as great as they really do. This can lead to all kinds of frustration – all taking away the experience of having fun making music. We wanted to change all of that. So we began by writing amazing presets • To find your signature sound • Designed to get you at least 90% of the way there • Powered by dbx, DigiTech, and Lexicon processing • Set gain, define EQ, optimized FX (reverbs, delays) • Configures up to 70+ unique parameters for you HARMAN Connected PA streamlines setup • Each component is automatically recognized and paired with its unique preset. • Soundcraft Ui Mixers • AKG P5i Mic and MDAi Mic Adapter • dbx DI1 • JBL PRX800w Speakers All Controlled by One App • Streamline set up and control of your mixer and speakers—without switching apps • All the essential controls—none of the bloat • Get amazing vocal and instrument sounds with genre-specific presets • Instantly recall settings—by just plugging in Focus on what matters most - Making music
Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Multitracker at 83% against Connected PA's 0%. Multitracker also leads on ratings volume (145 vs 2). Connected PA's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Multitracker sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Connected PA asks for nothing beyond the download.
Connected PA holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multitracker has 145 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Multitracker's written reviews are positive against 0% of Connected PA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
