KORG iMS-20 USB MIDI support

The current update of the KORG iMS-20 iPad app supports external USB MIDI Keyboards connected with the official Apple Camera Connection Kit under iOS 4.2.1.

This video shows how simple it is (mostly) to connect one or more devices and control the synth with them.

Try this at your own risk though. I'm not responsible for any damage you might cause to your iPad, USB devices or whatever.

@MrPlaystationboy No, the MS-20 in the App is only monophonic as well.

so when you set up for your gig you'll plug it in, unplug it, plug it in, unplug it, plug it in, unplug it, plug it in, unplug it, and hope it works...? um, scary much?

@bcrouche Haha, no. I'd just get a powered USB hub ;-) The video just shows that it's theoretically possible to hook up those two devices simultaneously, without a powered hub.

And you're telling me some self respecting producer would create music with this?

[flx04]

@iLoveEatingPie Nope, I'm just showing you that you can connect USB-MIDI Keyboards to the iPad :)

Does this still work with iOS 5 update?  I heard that it doesn't support because the power is less after the update 4.2. My question is did they fix this with update iOS5

@mcveagh78 It still works the same for me with iOS 5.

[MrPlaystationboy]

i know the original ms-20 is monophonic... but can you play this polyphonic???

[iLoveEatingPie]

@flx04 but... why do that?

@InHouseMaterial Check out the Alesis IO-Dock then.

@DoubleEdgedSword12 My guess is that it should work, if the Interface is iPad compatible.
