MarkO Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I have purchased a new iPad 2 and it now has ios 9.0.2. After looking at the Apple accessory store and Amazon, I am unable to determine if there is a "camera connection kit" that will actually function with my XW-P1 and the MIDI Designer for XW. There are several options for sale on both sites but after reading the customer reviews it looks like a 50/50 shot if a the kit will actually work. So my question is, has anyone had sucess with connecting a iPad Air 2 to a XW-P1? Quote
Korakios Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I have the G1 and iPad air1 8.4 . After searching the net I hade trouble finding a cheap lighting cck on eBay. Most of these kits work up to iOS 7 . So I decided to buy an original Apple cck instead of risking. Quote
Display Name Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Do not mess with the knock-offs. They rarely work with MIDI correctly - get the genuine Apple product. Quote
MarkO Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 I have purchased the "Apple" Lightning to USB camera adapter from Best Buy. It had the highest amount of reviews claiming success with connecting to a music keyboard. I will inform after it arrives on Wed. Quote
MarkO Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 *UPDATE* Success!! I connected my Lightning to USB camera adapter to the IPad, a USB printer type cable to the lightning connector and the XW-P1, and finally a 3.5mm/ 1/8 inch audio cable from the headphone jack of the IPad to the audio in of the XW-P1. Turned on the XW and the amp and VOILA, electronic collaboration between the XW-P1 and the MIDI Designer for XW. Wonderous sounds abound. 1 Quote
Korakios Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I have some trouble with the editor. It seems setting the synth dsp does not actually updates G1 settingsNow I am thinking I did not try straight to iPad ,but I did the following routingiPad -> usb -> PC -> MusicIO (app) -> usb -> XG G1I'll try later with the iPad connected straight to G1 ,could anyone confirm if the editor's dsp works? *EDIT* Ok, it works, but I found a bug :Touch sense on amp section does not work. The editor transmits wrong NPRN B0 63 33B0 62 2A <--It should be 2B instead according to midi implementation chartB0 06 xx Quote
Korakios Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I post that on the Midi Designer forums. If anyone else wants to join it would help to fix it sooner http://mididesigner.com/qa/4456/casioxw-and-midi-designer-bug Quote
