The "patchbay" is irrational, the settings only provide explained frames settings. You can have several instance as the following. If you touch a square you can select an app or IO device, you can't assign individual IOs, you only can chose the app or the IO device.

"128 frames Very fast response, very high device load: May cause stuttering 256 frames Fast response, moderate device load: Recommended 512 frames Moderate response, lower device load: Use if you experience stuttering 1024 frames Very delayed response, low device load" It's audio only, Core MIDI is handled by the apps and requires to understand what a port is, what a channel is and the way the app does use internal MIDI devices of the app and external MIDI devices IOW MIDI devices of other apps and really external iPad MIDI devices. This approach makes usage of audio applications that apart from that are usable, unpleasant to use and exclude a sane patchbay usage, as it is provided by real patchbays with cables. If some people prefer such a work-flow, then some coders perhaps want to provide such apps. It's not useful to rewrite existing apps to alienate existing users, to win a new target group.
