—Connect any MIDI keyboard to GarageBand® for iPad® and other music apps—

CALABASAS, Calif.—July 25, 2011—Line 6, Inc. (line6.com), the  industry leader in digital modeling technology for musicians, introduces  MIDI Mobilizer™ II, its latest portable MIDI interface <http://line6.com/midimobilizer>   that connects all classic and modern MIDI equipment to Apple® iPhone®  and iPad®.  Descended from the first-generation MIDI Mobilizer (the  world’s first MIDI interface for Apple iOS devices), MIDI Mobilizer II  is the ideal MIDI interface for GarageBand® for iPad® and other CoreMIDI  music apps.

“MIDI  Mobilizer II makes portable music production easy,” remarked Chris  Grigg, Line 6 mobile products manager. “Anyone with an iPhone or iPad  and a MIDI controller can connect MIDI Mobilizer II and be recording and  playing music in seconds. And with new apps being developed all the  time, users can access an incredibly wide variety of instruments,  software and more.”

MIDI  Mobilizer II is compatible with CoreMIDI, the new standard for iOS  music apps. This allows users to connect their MIDI gear to the latest  crop of music apps like GarageBand for iPad and many other exciting  music creation and education apps from developers all over the world.

MIDI  Mobilizer II plus MIDI Memo Recorder, an app created by Line 6 that’s  free on the App StoreSM, allow users to record, play and back up any  MIDI data.  MIDI Memo Recorder features a streamlined interface for easy  storage and recall of MIDI recordings, patches and more.  Users can  back up and transfer MIDI data into replacement keyboards, classic and  modern MIDI equipment and a variety of Line 6 guitar amplifiers <http://line6.com/products/amplifiers/>  and multi-effect processors <http://line6.com/pod/>  .  MIDI recordings can also be opened in any digital audio recording  software that supports the SMF (Standard MIDI File) format.

MIDI Mobilizer II is compatible with iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPhone (iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4), iPad and iPad 2, and is powered through the device – no batteries required. 

The  first-generation MIDI Mobilizer interface is still available and the  perfect choice for older iOS devices. It is compatible with iPod touch  (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation), iPhone (iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone  3GS), iPad and iPad 2. MIDI Mobilizer does not support CoreMIDI.
