If you're not seeing the lights flash, you've probably not got the cables plugged in the right way or any power to your MIDI device. It worked the first time, which was great!Īs mentioned earlier, the iRig MIDI has two small, triangular, red LED lights to indicate when MIDI signal is being received and sent. I had no problems getting things up and running. This is a simple MIDI recording app which also contains the firmware to make everything work, so make sure you download it. Once plugged in, you'll be prompted to download the free iRig MIDI recorder app from the iOS App Store.
To get things up and running, simply plug the iRig MIDI into your iDevice (I used my iPad) and connect your MIDI cables to your MIDI device (I used an Axiom 49 MIDI keyboard). This is a welcome feature, however the provided cable is particularly short, making it rather difficult to reach a standard USB power supply! The micro USB cable is for keeping your iDevice powered while using the iRig MIDI (connecting to any standard USB power supply) and it plugs directly into the side of the iRig MIDI. The MIDI cables are a good meter and a half in length, which means you should find ample length to position your setup the way you want it. Two MIDI cables and a micro USB cable are bundled with the iRig MIDI. Coincidentally, it looks remarkably similar to the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer I and II, though I haven't physically handled one myself (white on black print, triangular, red LEDs, dock connector to the right of the unit). However, it is neat and tidy, and it gets the job done. In fact, it feels like if you were to accidentally stand on it, it would crack. Unlike the ruggedness of the iRig for guitar or even the iRig Mic, the iRig MIDI doesn't feel particularly sturdy. It is essentially a small, black, plastic box with a 30-pin dock connector attached to it.
It has 3 ports (IN/OUT/THRU), two LEDs and a micro USB port for keeping your iDevice charged. The iRig MIDI is a standard Core MIDI interface. By subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy.
