Members RoadRanger Posted January 22, 2013 Members Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hey, now that the forum is running well I was wondering if any of yous guys are gigging a MIDI controller and iPad? I recently bought a "customer return" Samson Carbon 49 for $67 to mess about with - I already had the iPad. I bought the Pocket Organ C3B3 app which seems pretty good and have the free (limited) versions of iGrand (sounds good) and SampleTank (haven't used it much yet). I also bought the "Pro Keys" app - I haven't used that much yet either but it has all the different sounds you'd need for halfarse bar gigs and it was only 99 cents .

Members MikeyParent Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Not yet but I am planning to go this route.I have bought/downloaded a ton of stuff and now I have to spend some quality time to see what is going to work for me.You may want to check out www.iosmusician.com and specifically offerings from this list:List of iOS apps that can "learn" and map MIDI CC messages from controllers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted January 23, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 ^ Thanks!I'm having a bit of an issue in that I occasonally get a "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPad" message on the iPad and the MIDI connection goes down a short while later - weird, I'd expect it to go down immediately on the error? I have to power down the iPad to get it running again. I don't know if it my cheap Chinese "camera connection" adapters or the keyboard itself or ? It might only happen when I'm running "Pro Keys' but at this point I haven't messed about enough to tell. This is the latest cable I'm using:http://www.ebay.com/itm/110960318870I also have one of these coming, I was thinking of trying to run two keyboards, dunno if the iPad supports that or not?http://www.ebay.com/itm/150629809638 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My controller doesn't have much in the way of controls so mapping doesn't do me much good . My original plan was to eventually get a second "bottom board" like the Samson Graphite 61 which does have lots of controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
