Review of iRig MIDI by IK Multimedia | Home Brew Audio

homebrewaudio.com

The iRig MIDI 2 by IK Multimedia is a versatile MIDI interface compatible with iOS devices and computers, making it a handy tool for musicians on the go. It shines when paired with apps like SampleTank, offering a cost-effective way to access a variety of virtual instruments. However, its compact design presents connectivity challenges in tight spaces, and the short power cable can be cumbersome without pre-charging. Users might also experience a learning curve with MIDI keyboard configurations, but once set up, it delivers a satisfying recording experience. Overall, it's a solid, albeit slightly inconvenient, choice for mobile music creation.

"(Korg Taktile) It's just a keyboard controller. The sound is from an iPad app called ThumbJam, which reacts to MIDI messages."

"I've got an IK Multimedia iRig MIDI connecting it, so that Robert can call up Mellotron strings, brass, choir and flute on the Taktile pads and play them live on the keyboard."
