Macropad on iPad Pro?

Post by Hethacker »

Hello, I was wondering if the macropad could be used on the iPad Pro, I have hooked it up and energy wise, it is able to turn on the macropad. Any thoughts?

@Hethacker,

There is a mention of using the Macropad with iOS devices in it's guide page.
To test it out, load up a software synthesizer on your computer or iOS/Android device, and press the Macropad keys to play notes. You can find a good list of software to try here, but this will work with any MIDI capable software synth.
This is the iOS app that we link to for MIDI support:

I can confirm the Macropad works on an iPad Pro 9.7" via a "camera kit" dongle. It powers up the Macropad and I've used it to send MIDI to various iOS apps. Should work just fine for USB HID keyboard stuff as well. Have fun!
