I take it that the iMS20 and iElectribe do not currently (and probably never will Rolling Eyes

) take advantage of the new MIDI support in iOS 4.2?

I've updated my iPad to iOS4.2 but I've not yet checked to see if MIDI support is available in the Korg apps.

I guess if it was built into the app, it will now be visible, but failing that I guess an update to the apps from Korg will open up MIDI support.

I personally feel that Korg will make sure the iMS20 is MIDI compliant, but they might choose to leave iElectribe alone.

Cheers,

Krog.

I have many iPad synth apps, including iMS20. The only one I can control with iOS 4.2 MIDI is miniSynth PRO.

Sure would be cool if I could control iMS20 with my old MS-20 USB controller (from the Legacy Collection)!!! BTW, this controller wouldn't talk to the iPad (needed too much power) until I connected it through a powered hub. Looks like we need reports on which bus powered MIDI keyboards can work with the iPad without external power.

For giggles I plugged a novation controller into the iPad, and am sure with some setup of a template could control this nicely....however I see quite some latency on the midi in..a noticeable lag between key press and audio output.. , and a slow reading oc control changes.. Is this a low rate polling of midi?
Anyone else see this.?
