What ios MIDI interface needed to control 4 keyboards?

Post by martynstarkey »

Hi, I saw this software on someone's facebook post and didn't know this was available

In terms of having this setup with an ipad (with a good battery life) does it need an external 4 in AND 4 out midi interface to run the max amount of keyboards?? I've only ever seen 2 in and 2 out

This would be really useful as a piece of PC or MAC software for longer gigs, reliability and stability where you can use multiple midi in/out interfaces - any plans to do this?

Thanks for any help and advice

Hi,
iConnectivity makes interfaces with larger amounts of ports. However, you can also a combination of MIDI splitters and mergers to connect multiple keyboard to one port, and have those devices work on distinct MIDI channels. Another option would be to use USB MIDI with a hub.

Best,
Johannes
