In the video you’ll notice that I’m using the older style 30pin camera adapter with a convertor. What am I doing wrong? I check all midi parameters in different combination, I checked midi cable, I check midi input (HX Stomp receive CC from keyboard controllers)Īgain my setup is M-audio axiom 25 -> midi cable -> hx stomp -> usb cable -> camera connection kit -> ipad. This short video shows how easy it is to connect a midi keyboard to iPad Air using the camera adapter. However my ipad don't receive any midi signal from my keyboard. So I want to plug my midi keyboard via midi cable to midi input of HX Stomp, launch synth app on ipad and play some keys too. But now I have ipad onstage already, I have midi keyboard at my desktop (m-audio axiom 25), my HX Stomp also works as audio interface to ipad and I can send music from ipad to PA via HX Stomp. For iPads with Lightning ports, you want to use the Camera. I always thought about having small midi keyboard to press several chords on several songs, but I don't want to mess with setting up separate di channels, buy keys with own sounds or bring computer onstage. If your MIDI keyboard uses USB MIDI, then it is a simple matter of using the right dongle. I finally setup my ipad as controller for my HX Stomp (camera connection kit, usb cable, touchOSC app) and start successfully using it onstage.
