Reviews around synths (5.00 of 5)

  • I use it with Korg's IApps, Animoog, and Wolfgang Palm's excellent WaveGenerator soft synths.
  • Ultimately, though, I realize have to step up to a more pro product (a bulkier product, no doubt) that will allow the pad to be powered while still driving my soft synths via MIDI.
  • I have a Moog Voyager Sig, John Bowen Solaris, and Nord wave in a stack (with the wave controlling the soft synths

Reviews around synth (5.00 of 5)

  • For under $60, this was a GREAT investment, turning my iPad into a credible soft synth, eliminating the need for at least one synthesizer on stage

Reviews around idea (3.61 of 5)

  • I'm stuck with what would have been a very good idea and out good money
  • Such a good idea
  • Any keyboard player knows that this was a good idea gone bad at the last minute
  • If the unit cost $15, I would have kept it, but I can't justify this kind of expense on something that frustrates me as much as it did.

Reviews around product (3.02 of 5)

  • I love this product as it works extremely well with Garage Band on my Ipad
  • I hope they revise the product to correct the issue with plugging and possibly add some quality control testing prior to leaving the factory to remove the defective units prior to shipment.
  • Ultimately, though, I realize have to step up to a more pro product (a bulkier product, no doubt) that will allow the pad to be powered while still driving my soft synths via MIDI.
  • I love this product as it works extremely well with Garage Band on my Ipad

Reviews around app (2.94 of 5)

  • If the unit cost $15, I would have kept it, but I can't justify this kind of expense on something that frustrates me as much as it did.
  • Worked perfectly for controlling the awesome Wolfgang Palm PPG WaveGenerator app which it does flawlessly
  • The apps to work with it are not very professional, it's hard to set it up for a nice stage results, but nice to have at home
  • I eagerly opened the box because I wanted to try out the midi capable apps on my iPad with a Roland midi keyboard.
  • Don't blame the iRig for bad apps.

  • Doesn't stay connected because it doesn't seat all the way into ipad ,very hard to work with and don't know why it has to be that way
  • There must be a better way!
  • we don't have a piano, and one of the most cost effective way to get her a decent piano was buy a midi controller and the iRig MIDI device.
  • If the unit cost $15, I would have kept it, but I can't justify this kind of expense on something that frustrates me as much as it did.
  • This is a great way to get midi on your Iphone/Ipad.
