iRig Pro I/O - MIDI Keyboard connection on iPad/iPhone (GarageBand)

Great vid how fast does ipad battery drains?

Bought this today and the midi cables are completely diffrent than the ones in this video

Hi. I just purchased this interface (the duo one) but my midi keyboard has the usb 2.0 on the back, not a din 5 pin. Do you know if there’s any way to use adapters and make this work? The goal is to be able to plug my XLR mic and my midi keyboard into an interface that can then be plugged into a phone and/or MacBook Pro so I can record both at the same time/ or with the phone, record the audio directly in while videoing. Thanks so much!

I did everything exactly like the video. The light blinks blue, monitor is turned on and it won’t make any sound from my keyboard. I can’t find anything online on what else to try. Help please!

Will this work with a regular keyboard not just a midi controller ?

Hey @pete ..I have a 10 dollar Irish..but I don’t have a midi cable.(also it can’t be joined )in the 10 dollar iris....Just the way we connect an electric guitar I joined my Yamaha keyboard to the original through that guitar lead...and because of that I am getting sounds..which are already in my keyboard ...example drum kits and all...[I ALWAYS HAVE TO CHOSE A AMPLIFIER SELECTIONS...AND KEEP PLAYING THE BEATS WHICH IS REALLY TIRING....HOW TO LOOP THEM........ #### IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THAT THROUGH THIS CONNECTION TYPE I CAN MAKE MY KEYBOARD AS A MIDI ONE..SO I CAN RECORD PURE SOUNDS..THE WAY YOU DID IN THIS VIDEO ???

Is there a way to connect an E Drum kit to iRig that only has USB MIDI rather than the 5 pin?

Does irig 1 works?to piano effects?

Hi Pete! Is it possible to output this into an amplifier or a mixer ? I would like to connect the keys through my Looper pedal , do you think it is possible? Or if you have Another idea for my setup !? Thanks Friend😁

Can I charge my iPad/iPhone while using iRig ?

If I connect an 88 key midi keyboard can I play it like a piano or am I limited to a shorter scale?

I've been a big fan of the iRig line since the iRig 2, (which I still use), and have since gotten the Duo version of the iRig I/O as my backpack audio interface. The one and only complaint I have about IK Multimedia's design choices is their decision to use 2.5mm jacks for their MIDI breakout connectors. I hope that they'll adopt the much more usable 3.5mm TRS (Type A, IIRC) plugs in the future so we can use TRS midi with a pair aux-in plugs (which are dirt cheap compared to the 5-pin DINs).

I do not know why but in the box I got other short midi cables I tried to insert the cable into my synthesizer several times and it did not fit
What to do?

What is midi in and midi out?

I really enjoyed using headset with microphone from Ez Voice because I love singing and write the lyrics from my tablet.

Hi Pete Johns, can u record direct sound and video using irig and iPhone 7 on piano digital Yamaha ?

I bought irig/pro but in the box there are two female midi cable. is this normal ?

Hi thanks for the video. I have a Roland HPi-5 never use midi before. I have plugged it the same way and can't get sound from the ipad

ALWAYS great Pete. You never talk over people's heads as so many of you tech guys do. MUCH APPRECIATED.

Thanks for this information - Two questions: 1-Considering all this would I then be able to still add the XLR for recording in that free slot on the IRig? 2-What if my midi controller keyboard had no midi output slot? I’m asking because so have a particular midi controller in mind and I want to be able to use it with a mic as well

Can I connect yamaha keyboard to ipad?

Hi Pete! Is iRig compatible with Akai MPK 249? Thanks!

Hi Pete,following your tips ,I have connected my ipad to my keyboard and it works great in a "live" situation.but is there any way I can control the volume with outside source and not have to use volume on ipad? cheers Terry

I plugged it in exactly how you described, but can't get any sound. I got both blue lights coming on too.

Would the ipad get simultaneously charged too? . . .

Hey, I’m kinda new to audio connections and I’m wondering how I would connect an apple device to an apple device to record samples into the other

Blimey! Still rocking the Evolution eKeys 49. Don’t see many of those around now. Was my first ever MIDI keyboard when I started on computer music, later joined by one of those 16 knob MIDI controller. I think it was the US-16? Fantastic little device.

Believe it or not Petye but I am 80 years old and just started taking an interest in synths, apps etc. I have just bought a irig keys 49 and have an ipad with some apps on it but I cannot get any sound at all from my set up . I have followed your tips on which lead goes where with no joy. I would very much appreciate it if you could suggest where I am going wrong, for instance do I need an amplifier or speakers.

can I connect to Android phone

How is IRIG PRO quality when it comes to recording vocals? I had the IRIG PRE for 2 years and it was really good. I ordered IRIG PRE HD couple of weeks back and was disappointed with the vocal quality..I felt that IK had used too much preamp. I am really interested to know if IRIG PRO sound quality when recording vocals is better than IRIG PRe HD

USB vs Midi keyboards/input?

Awesome stuff Pete, great tutorial and your new recording setup is great, very clear video and and audio coming through....Studio Live Today is my daily "fix", giving me great tips and ideas and putting it to use. Thanks Mate :-) By the way, is your day job also to do with music?

Does this need batteries Pete....... and why choose this over focusrite or similar?

Does it come with a usb-c connection to the irig?

Great stuff!
