    Will my iPhone be able to give my midi keyboard power? That’s the only thing I don’t understand. I have Akai Mini and want to use off iPhone/iPad but don’t know if it’ll support its power needs. Thanks for all the help! Great video.

    • @imluvbyrd
      @imluvbyrd  4 года назад +3

      hi! I’m not familiar working with windows. but it should be a similar process. find the right adaptor to connect the keyboard to your windows device. (If it’s a phone, you’ll likely need to “allow usb access.”) then whichever mobile app or DAW you use should recognize your keyboard. for some DAWs you may need to go in the “setup” menu to enable a MIDI device.

    @bestrickie2 3 года назад +2

    Hello, thank you very much for your most useful videos. I’m looking for a midi controller portable keyboard that has dials and drum pads like the ones you have shown. However I’m looking for a keyboard which is easy to map set up whereupon I can use the dials to control parameters on GarageBand iOS and eventually logic Mac.When I say control parameters this includes, volumes panning et cetera. As GarageBand has on-board synthesiser plug-ins which to have dials, I’d like the advantage of being able to control the dials on the plug-in synthesisers using the on-board dials on the midi keyboard.

      Hey! I’m not sure which charging port the xr has. Is it the lightning? If so then you should get a Lighting to USB adaptor. If your device has a USB-C connection then get a USB-C to USB adaptor. Perhaps consider getting a 3 in 1 adaptor if you plan to use a USB mic simultaneously.

      you use the lightning port for an adapter to 3.5 mm and that you can conect to speakers, you probably need another adapter to connect it to 3.5 mm. But that means you can not charge your iphone unless you connect it to a usb hub that is powered i guess....
