How To Connect Keyboard To Garageband Ipad

  

Connect the Keyboard to the iPad using the iRig MIDI. Open GarageBand, tap the + symbol in the top left and tap New Song. Select Keyboard. Tap and choose a keyboard. Hint: there are lots of amazing ones - give them all a try!

  • Connect the MIDI socket on one end of the adapter cable to the other end of the MIDI cable attached to the keyboard. Insert the USB plug on the other end of the adapter into any unused USB port on the Mac. Double-click the GarageBand icon on the Mac desktop to start the audio software on the computer.
  • Play drums with a MIDI keyboard in GarageBand iOS (iPhone/iPad) by Pete Johns. Connect Multiple USB Devices to an iPad/iPhone using a Powered USB Hub (GarageBand iOS).
  • Connecting USB-based MIDI devices to your iPad is a snap! Many apps like Garage Band, iPolysix, and Tabletop support small devices. Start by getting the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. (For older iPads, the 30-pin to USB Camera Kit also works.).

This is something that is very easy to do on my macbook using either garageband or logic express. However, I am not sure how to do it on the ipad or if it is even possible. It should be similar to the method of connecting an electric guitar. Most people use iRig for a guitar, but there is not a comparable product to connect a keyboard. I'm assuming the only way to do it is by connecting the midi to a usb interface and then connecting the usb interface to the camera connection kit. However, I don't even know if the iPad recognizes an external midi controller like a macbook does.


Has anyone had any success with this maneuver? Thanks!
