Connecting a Midi Instrument to an Ipad - Part -1
Posted: 11 Sep 2017 19:44
To connect a midi device to the Ipad you will need a Camera Connection Kit ( CCK ) as shown in the picture below,
These are readily available but I would advise buying and Apple one as 3rd party ones can stop working unexpectedly after any O.S. upgrades.
If you are lucky enough to have an instrument that supports MIDI over USB ( Your instrument has a USB socket on the back ) thats all you need.
If your instrument has only Midi in and Midi Sockets via 5 pin Din sockets on the back then you will need a MIDI to USB converter as shown below
I bought one off Ebay and it cost me less than £5.00 and works very well
I will do another tutorial later showing how to setup the Midi out of a Tyros to an Ipad
