Hi

Is it possible to record audio using the sound engine pre-sets from my Yamaha P125 digital piano, in to Garageband, using an Ipad?

 

Yes, you can connect the P125 to an iPad, but you'll need an Apple Lightning to USB 3 camera connection kit in order to do so.

Yamaha has a helpful PDF page up that goes into everything you can do over the USB port. Here's a link:

I recently reviewed the P121, which is a 73-key version of your P125. If you'd like to check out my review, here's a link:

Hi,

I checked out the link's you provided, and it seems the Lighning to USB3 cable connection is for MIDI not audio.. the P125 has a USB TO Host port, that refers to a MIDI recording.. it also has 2x 1/4 inch Jack ports which provides for a audio recording, therefore needing a audio interface to connect to the Ipad.. which is not possible as the Ipad has no 1/4 inch jack ports..

A basic Audio interface will take care of audio if that's what you need. Unfortunately, you can't really use an audio + MIDI interface with your Yamaha for simultaneous audio and MIDI recording since the Yamaha piano lacks standard 5-pin DIN MIDI jacks. 

For audio recording to your iOS device, you want an interface that is plug-and-play, and doesn't require drivers. Several audio interfaces fit the bill and are compatible with your iPad. You'll still need the Apple adapter in order to plug it into your iPad though. 

 

Any of the three units listed below (among others) will be compatible with your iPad for audio recording to it.
