Customer Reviews
This is in light of reading other reviews here.One quick thing up front: I've seen conflicting info here about which MIDI plug (in/out) goes where. And yes, for dozens of years you'd plug a MIDI OUT cord into your MIDI IN socket on the instrument (and vice versa - that was the standard.Not sure if standards or changing or if this is just a single example, but their instructions are true to what worked for me: OUT goes into OUT sockets, IN to IN, not the old IN/OUT way I'm used to. For me it worked with the OUTS and INS being coupled respectively.First, I've used MIDI since the 90's and this wasn't particularly intuitive. The instructions are only a bit helpful (plus the printing is microscopic, not kidding, I had to use a magnifying glass to read them!). It took a few hours to get it going, mostly because only the sparest info is given. It was hard to tell if you needed the 2nd part (the dongle, not the tethered pair), didn't need it, or what. Eventually after seeing a good video that the company included in its order listing, I made progress. My overall goal is to use this so I can move my keyboard far from my audio interface box, yet still input into a DAW (I use the Apple two mostly), and then Airplay it across my house (or whatever space I'm at); the idea is not only to have MIDI control but actually use an onboard instrument in my DAW to sound back to my home pods - all without needing cables.Eventually I found that I do need the dongle plugged into my desktop Mac (I used a A-to-C USB adapter I had), and then plug in the two MIDI sockets to my keyboard, i.e. I needed all 3. 2) It took a little figuring out exactly how to GET Logic and Garageband to respond - and sound. Turns out yes it was simple, but too simple, and wasn't intuitive. First, I didn't need to do anything that the instructions said (i.e. go to Finder and Audio Setup blah blah, all that happened automatically, so that was a waste of time). Second, after perusing several internet explanations, I finally realized all I had to so was simply to make a new *software instrument* track (not MIDI instrument for my purposes), hit "R" or "I" in the DAW to hear real-time input, and it was automatically responding to the MIDI signal - but more importantly, playing the sound of the digital instrument I selected! All I had to do then is to go into the instrument library and select the one I wanted, and bingo, I was in business.So yeah, this little device works GREAT (very little latency when hearing your playback) and I'm happy with it. I just think it's simpler than the instructions made out. I think after a small learning curve, I'll find I use this thing a lot and with increased time and hassle saving. So far I'd recommend it... just know how your individual programs or hardware might need to be tweaked.
