I also buy things I like. I did try it first with my Kawai KSP 10 Digital Piano which has a MIDI conversion from MIDI 5-Pin in and out to USB by M-Audio MIDISPORT UNO. When it told me I did not have the right hardware, I hooked up what I just bought over Labor Day weekend. Still did not recognize it.

sorry, i aint got so much experience of apple-products and even not of Cubasis, but somebody who understand this, will help you better. but i thank you that you wrote your problem so much detailed. i hope for you somebody grit onb this thread and will crack this with you.

I use MIDI and playing the piano as a form of ear therapy as I have really severe Tinnitus and it helps me to cope with it. I like keeping my mind occupied as if not you want me to list the various related symptoms it creates also? I took an early retirement, I can only hear partially on a phone.

I had several keyboard controllers at the time. I had an iRig Keys mini, an Akai, a Behringer, even a Samson, but the only problem I had was that my iPhone was powering the controllers. This limited my recording times to only as long as my iPhone battery would last.

Yet another important feature for me was its size. It is also the smallest 49-key controller on the market, taking up much less space than other controllers, while still maintaining full-sized, touch-sensitive keys.

Derrick assured me they were one in the same. IK spared no expense. So, I also bought a Pro HD and have yet to need it, ha-ha. However, I am not eager to part with it because I can slip it in my pocket to use if I am on the road and need an interface:)

What about the piano sound? That was a general sampled Steinway piano I bought via in-app purchase in Audio Evolution Mobile. There are tons of great piano app sounds including some great ones in Sampletank, but I chose the Steinway for the test since it was a soundfont accessible within the AEM app. In the end it is personal taste and currently I am using the Ravenscroft 275 piano because it has a distinct sound; but again, sounds are personal taste.

Boss stuff have a history of not being class compliant. I am not sure, but my guess is that what you hear is the direct monitoring of your incoming guitar sound only. If you click on AUDIO Device: IN/OUT, what does it read in the IINPUT and OUTPUT CHANNELS boxes?

When you connect to the amp it is a direct sound of the guitar, to get the internal sounds you need the headphone jack in the irig2. That you could send to the amp or speakers or just headphones. Be sure to adjust the mix level from dry to wet.

The standard, computer-based SampleTank virtual instrument program costs close to $200. But with the iRig MIDI you can start using it free by downloading the SampleTankFreeapp onto your device. SampleTankFree comes with 8 sounds (2 drum kits, 1 electric piano, 2 bass guitars, 1 guitar, 1 keyboard synth, and 1 oboe). If you download the full SampleTank app for $19.99, you get 72 instruments.

The main hardware is called ultra-compact on the IK Multimedia website. It is a square plastic housing measuring 1.75 inches by 1.75 inches with a standard male iPod/iPhone connector, a power input, and 3 midi ports (IN, THRU and OUT). Make sure you have ample space to connect everything.

My home recording work space is pretty small by design, and my MIDI keyboard (Korg microKontrol) takes up most of the room. My mouse, mouse pad, monitor stand and desktop microphone take up most of the remaining space. This became a logistical problem when trying to hook up the iRig MIDI.

The main problem I had was with the power plug for the tiny unit. You can charge it up with the included micro USB cable, but I had just opened the box, so I needed to have it plugged in to use it, which was a problem because the cable is only 15 inches long.

In the end I had to bring a laptop computer into the studio and grab a TV tray to set next to my keyboard in order for the cable to reach AND to keep my iPhone in front of me. You can avoid this if you charge the little device up before hand though.

Normally when something is grayed out on a computer screen, it means it cannot be selected or used in any way, which as I mentioned, was not the case with the SampleTank app. The grayed-out instrument sounds could both be selected AND heard if only to audition. Hence my confusion. When I finally selected one of the FREE sounds, voila! I was able to play the sounds with my Korg keyboard.

This is only one of the instruments, obviously. The built-in recorder allows you to overdub and do 4-track recording, with a different instrument in each track (part), like bass, drums, guitar, and piano.

The iRig is a good option if you can secure it to the keyboard... I'd use velcro to insure you don't loose a connection and create a massive noise spike in a live situation. You might want and more rugged Audio/MIDI unit with more ports for various PA options and monitoring capability and a good Digital to Analog converter and headphone amp.

For pads, Sunrizer has a nice ethereal quality to it which layers beautifully with pianos. The preset browser is also excellent for quick switching. Also consider running AutoPad for an additional ambient layer.

iRig Nano Amp operates as a straight up guitar amp and features a British tone stack circuit with gain and volume controls for practice on the go. Simply plug in your guitar to the 1/4" guitar input, adjust your volume and gain settings, select the output type NORMAL/BRIGHT and rock out anywhere you happen to be. The British tone circuit delivers sparkling clean tones at lower gain settings and a cascading wave of overdrive when cranking the gain to the upper limits.

SampleTank uses a piano input interface to abstract over a myriad of different instruments from drum kits to organs to woodwind instruments. It also supports an autoplay feature, so you can let the app play a constant repeating rhythm whilst you jam out using the iRig. The volume and octave settings of the app are independent to the keyboard, enabling some simple compositions.

Where other developers might be trying to squeeze a wide range of options into one app, IK multimedia are doing a great job with focussed 'one app, one job' releases. Take the Slash app for example, the version of the popular iRig aimed squarely at guitar players with a certain musical preference, and now iGrand Piano, an iPad-only app that only does acoustic pianos!

You can play iGrand Piano using the app's built-in keyboard, but you really need to hook up an external MIDI controller using either IK's iRig MIDI or other MIDI interface, or via USB/Camera Connection Kit, in order to experience the sonic potential of these instruments. IK themselves are pushing the iRig Keys as an ideal accessory but this was not available to test at the time of writing - look out for a review on macProVideo soon! You will notice when you play the built-in keys on the iPad that velocity sensitivity is effected in a different way to other apps. For example, GarageBand makes use of the built-in accelerometer to give an experience that is not unlike velocity sensitivity despite the fact that the keys do not 'depress'. iGrand Piano on the other hand does not respond to velocity but to the position at which you tap the keys - the lowest point of the key gives the loudest note the highest point the quietest note, and although this is different to other apps, it reveals that there are a larger number of velocity layers in each sample.

Each instrument can be edited by six parameters. 'Ambience' and 'Lid' (accompanied by a graphic of the piano lid closing) are great for making subtle instrument-specific changes to the overall timbre.

The metronome, which has a useful visual display, lets you set a tempo either manually or by tapping. Use this for rehearsing, then when you are ready record, tap the Song button and record with or without the metronome. You can then overdub as many parts as you like. These can be quantized, but some might find the omission of some kind of piano roll style MIDI editor disappointing at this price.
