Holy Moly! It was the octave problem! 🤯 you just saved me so much strife. Thank you!

I’ve watched all of your videos twice! But every time they entertain me!

Thanks Pete. I have an Akai MPK Mini MKII and an Akai MPD 18. Both return the message that these devices require too much power for my iOS devices (iPhone 6S, iPad mini 2, iPad Air 2 an regular 2017 iPad). When I use only the Apple USB to Lightening 3 with the charging port connected, both controllers work perfectly with all devices. Some here have said the USB to Lightening 3 only charges the iOS device but does not power the MIDI device. All I know is these controllers work perfectly with all my devices. Hope this is helpful.

Wow So much information in just a few minutes,thanks for share.

been using the cheapest 2 bucka aha cheers bruvva definitely one of the more informative series subbed an liked

Sir, music studio app on my iPhone is working very well as explained by you. Thanks. But the same cable and the same app doesn’t connect with my iPad.air 2. Please help

Hey Pete nice to see you on again one love bro

Thanks for this video. I've got a weird situation whether my lightning port to usb is able to charge my iPad using the charge port on the connector, it can power USB devices such as my USB hub, but it will suddenly not accept any USB device to function on my iPad. This is a 2018 iPad with the latest iOS version 17.2 (The problem arose ahead of the update). It turns my alesis qx49 on without issue, but doesn't accept input, and it completely ignores my mic. These are items it has accepted for ages now, and randomly it has just stopped. Any ideas?

im trying to connect my digital piano to my ipad 4 , i have the lighting usb adaptor and everything is connected properly , but the notes i play on digital piano wont play in garage band at all (sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't) appreciate you help.

Hi Pete I did all this the first time round for my AKI LPK 25 and it has worked for years using powered USB through lightning connector. Couple of days ago it has stopped speaking to GB on IOS. I've tested it on my PC to Ableton and it connects fine. Has there been an update on IOS that would cause this drop out? Any other suggestions as its really annoying.

Hi Pete: after upgrading my Ipad to ipadOS14, it stop working with my AC powered midi keyboard. It used to work fine on ipadOS 13, but now the message " this ipad does not support the device", I ' ve read the upgrade 14 raises the power needed to use external devices. Even the launchpad stopped working, so It maybe true.. have you found this issue?

How come none of these KZfaqrs mention most of the probs is when you plug your device into your computer it only recognizes it as a storage device. BS that it should recognize it as a controller.A fix on Novation LK mini mk3 …while holding shift key, plug the usb cable into your midi controller,while still holding shift key ,the top last pad will light up yellow ,hit that and then the play button, the small button with arrow.

I use MIDI on Garageband to a Studiologic Numa Compact 2 and have the following problem. I bought a ($6) lightning cable to usb port like the one you have in the video. I use a good cable that goes to the piano into the little cable to my iphone. It works well but after about 1 minute it stops working and it says “this accessory is not compatible with this device” Is there any way to fix this?

I have a new iPad Pro with usb c connection with lead and adapter there is no note recognition?

M audio oxygen pro how to fix pitch wheel in iPad m1?

Hi Pete. Thank you for the video it’s super helpful however I’m still running into an issue. I have my midi keyboard plugged into a usb hub, which is pugged into the 3 port apple adapter for my iPad 11 pro. The issue is that I’m only able to play 3 notes on my midi keyboard!? I’m almost 100% sure that all the keys work, but for some reason it’s only letting me play those three notes on the midi keyboard. I’m using an Alesis QX61 midi controller which is class compliant according to the akai website.

I can not connect iPhone 11 and KORG 61 air. But iPhone 6 easy to connect. How can I solve this problem?

Nice. What do you think of the MIDI to Bluetooth connections? I’m thinking of getting the Yamaha MD BT01.

I have iPad Air 2 and the Yamaha Moxf 88. I got the same Camera kit you are showing and a printer usb cable. Connected it and id does just nothing. What may be wrong?

Hey Pete wassup I recently got a korg plug key price was about 120 and I got a good quality Roland midi cable I got I pad air 2 I’m using Bismarck and korg m1 i had been using it for about 1 month it was working fine it stopped working like 2 weeks ago what do I think is the proboem

Even it’s an MIDI EDrum kit that needs power to plug-in to an iPhone/iPad ?

So glad I found your channel!

I’ve connected as you said. But one problem is ,I have a single note volume louder than other notes on my midi keyboard. How to reduce that particular note? I use digital piano as a midi connected to a iPad Pro. I use Collosus piano app.

Hey Pete! I’m here for ask about this problem, is it solved nowadays? Because I want to buy the Korg Air 61 for my iPad

Yes to all of this - and for the uninitiated, Apple’s seemingly innocuous cables have a microchip in the lightning (small) end of that adaptor, the cable is in effect a dongle. My issue, is the arpeggiator function does not work from my midi controller keyboard, only the on-screen one? I think the fix may be an Apple one. Thanks Pete, stay safe - oh hang on, you already are, by staying in one of the best COVID-proofed locations in the world.

Hi. Excellent video! I have a Korg Micro Key 37 keys midi controller similar to the one you use in the video, but it doesn't work for me with my 2019 ipad. Do you know if it really is compatible? I currently use a USB Type B to Lightnin cable and it works for me with other controllers like the M-Audio keystation 88, but not the Micro Key. I would like to know before buying if you know that my Micro key will work with the genuine Lightning to USB 3 adapter? Regards.

Thanks for making your videos. I am having an issue with a secondary signal when playing notes on my midi controller. The secondary sound is in tune with the notes being played but is like a drone sound that is the same no matter what instrument voice is selected. I have two midi controllers; one connected via usb and the other via Bluetooth and both have the same issue. Is this something you have experienced and know how to resolve? I am having difficulty finding a solution. Thanks!

Hi Pete, I was extremely disappointed to find that after I bought an iTrack Dock, both my keyboards refused to work with my iPad. Both not Class compliant. But they work with the iPad without using the iTrack.

Hey Pete, nice Vid! I have a problem when recording audio and midi at the same time. The Midi signals are not in the right Place. Sometimes just a little bit behind audio, sometimes a lot. It changes while recording. Is there a fix for this?

The sound card hub is something I want to buy. Only ten dollars? Where can I buy this? Maybe you can tell me what the name and model of this usb headphone hub is. Thanks in advance, Pete!

Thanks for the video, I have a question : When I Connect my Nektar gx61 using these aftermarket connectors @1:20 it powers up but I don't hear the sound from it, does that mean i need the other connector? Thanks again

Hi Pete, thanks for video. I followed what you suggested about connecting the keyboard and the iPad. The app can receive the signal and can record normally. However, when I open it with another app, it has no sound. Do you have any app recommendation on making midi file? I tried a few but the midi file has some error.

I have an iPhone 6s and am using a used Arturia Keylab 49. Everything works fine until I press record and then I can’t hear anything, though what I’m playing is recording. Also I believe once or twice it did work but I don’t think I did anything different. Has anyone else run into this problem? I’m hoping it’s not just a problem with the midi controller considering that it is used. Figured I’d run it up the flagpole. If anyone thinks they may be able to help please give me a shout. Very much appreciated. Love your channel. Thanks

hey mate, thanks for the video. I have connected my yamaha keyboard to my iphone. It works partly, i mean i press a key on the keyboard and the note just keeps playing. I guess the MIDI is not understanding when i release the key on the keyboard. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

hi, i’ve been using a digital piano with bluetooth midi and everything works fine, except that the keyboard loses its touch sensitivity feature. do you have any idea how to fix this? i’m using garage band. do you think buying a cable would fix this issue?

Hello friend a question, I have the iPad pro 9.7, and I want to know if the cable Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, is it compatible with my iPad? Because I want to use my iPad too, to play with virtual instruments, that's why I want this cable, because at the same time I can play and charge it at the same time without running out of my iPad's battery charge, please; help friend, I really appreciate it

Hi mate. I have an m audio 49 and went to get a USB port as suggested. I momentarily heard a sound from the keys and then it distorted and now I don’t get any sound at all. The lights in the port where I’ve connected the keys doesn’t come on. However when I disconnect my iPad, the light on the port suddenly comes back on. Any suggestions?

thanks!!

How do you fix latency issues with the midi?

Tried the official apple adapter as you suggested, it doesn't work. Tried with both Ipad air & iphone 12 pro max and they don't connect. Tried the keyboard (Novation Mini mk2) on my W10 pc and works no problem. Contacted support and they recommended an expensive Apple power supply which changed nothing except cost me money. Getting stuff to work on IOS is difficult & expensive.

But you didn’t show the whole setup. I don’t understand how you connect it all.

my midi keyboard is showing up fine, but it's all being transposed into the wrong key while playing/recording. Even after I change the key to something else in the settings, it reverts back to a different key when time to record. Any ideas? thanks

how about a female to female adapter? u can connect anything

For me I do all these things but the midi falls out sometimes, cleaning it with a toothbrush can help. Ports get dirty sometimes. If someone has other tips let me know.

I just know it works for me everyday. Here’s a possible explanation: perhaps while charging the iOS device it has access to enough power to power the controller. Either way you do the math it works and that’s all I care about. Another theory could be a difference between European, Down Under 220 DC and 120 AC IN America. Not an electrical engineer.

I’m having massive issues with making this work, hope someone can help me a little bit out here! I bought Apples Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, and I’ve connected it the way it’s supposed to. My iPad (2018 version) has also installed the product, however my keyboard simply won’t turn on. It shines blue sometimes, for not even a second, as if it’s turning on but it just isn’t. What I find odd is that my keyboard works fine connected to my computer, but the even weirder thing is that it actually works perfectly with a knock off cable like the Apple adapter I got, but then the message pops up with the iPad not supporting this product. But I’ve managed to actually play for perharps 2 minutes with this knock off adapter. So why is it, it won’t even turn on with the apple adapter? I’ve tried the camera lightning kit too (the one with just one slot for the usb), then the whole too much power message pops up. The knock off one is actually like that one, just one slot. This doesn’t make sense to me. Hope someone got an idea. My keyboard is a Swissonic ControlKey 61 😄

Hi I got exactly the same midi , its korg micro key but it doesnt light up ! it has been working with no problem , I havent update or made any change but all of a sudden it doesnt light up , I thought the USB is broken I bought a new USB CABLE but that is still not working ! SOS pete I need your help please

I have a USB hub but when i connect my Lightning cable with a USB port on it and i turn on my keyboard it says not compatible with this ipad and a message pops up and it says Apple is not supporting this equipment or something like that. I can only play for 1 minute and then the message pops up and i have to pull the lightning cable out of my ipad and then in to the ipad again. Its so annoying. How can i fix this???

I have a roland juno g with midi and apple lighting 3 usb with the app simply piano. It wont connect why is this? I mve used 3 different knock off lighting usb so i thought apple would fix it but it didnt work!

😢Brother, what's the problem? He's not calling

What usb hub?

This was absolutely useless marketing.

My iPad is usb C, I connected it directly to my keyboard with usb B, but realised that my iPad will drain while using it 🙄

I was trying to learn something on midi, all I learned was something about new devices, ugh!

They give the error message. I have also been led to believe the USB 3 supplies no power to your iOS device. This has not been my experience.

i have to press my keys too hard

No demo just talking

Look at me when im talking to you petr
