Brad Saucier Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 The following link is a page of connection information and charts describing what is needed to connect various types of devices to Casio instruments. To summarize the chart; to connect Apple devices with a lightning port to a Casio CT-S1, use the Apple camera adapter plus a USB A to USB Micro-B cable capable of data transfer. https://web.casio.com/app/en/music_space/support/connect.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterFK Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Do you have a link to the actual cable I need to get, I don't like all those pdf files, very confusing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherscott Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 a regular USB A-to-B cable (typical printer cable) plus Apple's "Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter" (USB-to-lightning adapter). Apple also makes a cheaper version ("Lightning to USB Camera Adapter") but that one doesn't let you leave the charging cable in at the same time.

farfisa benny Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) Greetings! Is there any way when using the CT-S1 as a MIDI controlling the GSI DeLuxe app on the iPad to get the audio to go out of the headphone jack on the CT-S1? I use the micro USB cable to the iPad camera adapter route. Edited August 14, 2023 by farfisa benny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connect the headphone output of the iPad to the audio in jack on the Casiotone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farfisa benny Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 yes - that is what I am looking to do, thanks. It occurred to me there may be a way to do it with MIDI. Is there a way to use the CT-S1 to control the parameters on of the iPad app? Such as using either the preset buttons and/or using the function button with various keys?

farfisa benny Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 the One keyboard I used previously sent MIDI to the iPad and received the audio back with a single cable and I ran the instrument cable from the keyboard straight into the amp. That's where I got the thought that it could work with the Casio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 That would be a keyboard with an internal USB audio interface in addition to MIDI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
