Hello! It is me again

 

My problem: I'm fairly certain I'm probably missing something very obvious, but after hooking up the USB cable via the connector to the iPad, turning off the local control on the piano, and assuming that I don't have to assign a send channel as the default is channel 1, I still can't manipulate the "software instruments" in GarageBand. I'm assuming that I should be able to hear the instruments through the iPad when I'm playing the keyboard as the PX-150 is turned off. I tried reading casio's online midi implementation manual, but it's Greek to me, and I think (without being able to interpret much of it ) that it's far more advanced than what I need. However, the manual that comes with the keyboard seems to be missing something pertinent, or I'm just not connecting the right dots. I should also mention that the USB lightning connector is not a "certified" brand. I've considered purchasing an apple one, but thought I'd check to see if there is a simple solution that I'm missing before making that purchase. 

 

My question:  Would someone kindly list in simple language the steps I need to follow to hook up the PX-150 to my iPad in order to use it as a controller with Garageband? Are there other settings I need to adjust, either on the PX-150 or in GarageBand, and how do I do that?

 

 

Thank you again for your time in assisting a Midi neophyte!

Never mind!  I switched USB connectors and it works fine!

Hi songbird1471,

Sorry to gravedig this thread, but I've been looking all over for answers to the same question. I've got the right cables, though the camera connector kit isn't an official Apple one, and the iPad and piano still won't talk to each other.

I'm trying to connect an iPad 2 to a Casio Privia PX-150, with no joy. I'm trying to use the piano as a midi controller in Korg Module Le, but when I connect the cords I get either no response or an accessory not supported message.

Using the MIDI Wrench diagnostic app shows there is no MIDI input. What did you change to make it work for you? Anyone else have any ideas?

Many thanks

Thanks Joe. I've since shelled out £40 on a Yamaha Bluetooth midi connector, but the iPad 2 won't even see it when I try to connect to it. My phone can see it, but won't pair.

I don't know what to think about this any more. I suppose the iPad 2 is the problem...
