#MICROKORG SOUND EDITOR CREATING A NEW PATCH BLUETOOTH#
I haven’t found Bluetooth MIDI latency to be a problem, but wired latency should be less, if that is your concern. Well, there you have it - an inexpensive, super-light, wired iPad rig. Of course, there are limitations to USB extension (USB 2.0: 5M, USB 3.0: 3M). Option 2 keeps things digital as long as possible, eliminating hum and other noise problems due to a long unbalanced cable run. (The monitor is a Behringer B205D with a balanced XLR OUT to front-of-house.) Option 2 adds a USB extension cable between the hub and the audio interface (UCA222) for most of the distance with a short unbalanced cable from the interface to the monitor. Option 1 is running a long-ish unbalanced analog cable to the monitor.
Most of the cabling sits on the floor out-of-sight.Īs to audio connection, there are two options. The Lightning connector is reliably tight and eliminates the pops and crackles when moving the iPad. (The Sabrent hub itself is not a powered hub, keeping things simple.)Ī Lightning extension cable connects the Apple adapter to the iPad. The Korg Microkey Air and the Behringer UCA222 draw power from the Apple adapter through the Sabrent hub. It needs either an external power adapter (9V 500mA center negative) or two AA batteries. S Microkey Air 49Īs to power, the EV-1-WL is not bus-powered. I expect the D9U to function correctly, too, if I get its sketch right.

Korg Module Pro and Crudebyte iSymphonic Orchestra respond to the Microkey Air and the Boss EV-1-WL expression pedal. It’s not rocket science, so plug it all in and success! Core MIDI merges the MIDI input streams together. BTW, I wish the Belkin RockStar™ had three ports: USB-A host, Lightning charge and 3.5mm audio. One could use an olde style Apple USB Camera Adapter, but why put yourself through the agony? Better to have the Lightning charge/power port than fight electrical current restrictions. The Sabrent HB-MCRM is small, light and cheap (less than $10USD).

Fortunately, I have a few Sabrent HB-MCRM 4-port portable USB 2.0 hubs on hand. The Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter has only one USB-A host port. Well, if you were counting, that’s four (4) MIDI devices. That particular test must await another rainy (snowy?) day as I need to adapt the D9U Arduino sketch for B-3X. The D9U can do MIDI over USB through its micro USB port. The D9U hasn’t seen much action lately and it would be good to get it into the mix. The Play 3 is not spec’ed as IOS compatible, but folks are having success with Play 3 and iPad.įor extra credit, I would eventually like to control IK Multimedia B-3X with a Crumar D9U DIY drawbar controller.

The Play 3 is even smaller and will do 24-bit, 96kHz given driver and control panel support. Sweetwater is selling these for about $10USD and you can’t go wrong at that price.īased on my success with UCA222, I put a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Play 3 external USB sound adapter on order ($20USD). The UCA222 is not the best interface, but it’s inexpensive. (Now replaced by a Yamaha AG-06 mixing console and audio interface).
#MICROKORG SOUND EDITOR CREATING A NEW PATCH PC#
I pulled out an old Behringer UCA222 2-in/2-out USB audio interface, which was my PC audio workhorse for many years. Thus, an external USB audio interface is a necessity. Every time I pick up or move the iPad, the jarred plug causes all manner of crackles, pops and hum - at loud volume, no less. However, the jack’s placement exposes an inserted 3.5mm plug to all sorts of physical and sonic abuse. That may sound like crazy-talk to people owning phones and iPads without a 3.5mm audio jack. I really detest the iPad 3.5mm audio jack on my 3rd generation iPad Air. Both the Korg Microkey Air 49 and the Boss EV-1-WL wireless MIDI expression pedal have full-size USB-B device ports, so it made sense to start with them and build out. My approach goes all-in with MIDI over USB. After investigating a wireless iPad-based rig for church gigs, I decided to take a 180 and try wired! The urge was inspired by a recent thread in the MusicPlayer Keyboard Forum about taming the rat’s nest of wires that engulf our keyboard set-ups.
