Akai Mini MkII + iPad = Bass Rig Keyboard Setup. MPK Mini MkII keyboard controller, with an. Sep 25, 2017  This video explains how to connect the AKAI MPK Mini MkII (or any other USB Powered midi controller) to an iPad while solving the power issue by using the Apple “USB 3 camera connector”. I just bought an Akai MPK mini and i would like to play the sound library available on their web site (MPC Essentials Sound Libraries) on my GarageBand (actually it works on the MOC software) but I. Try connecting the MPK Mini to the powered hub first (hub should be plugged in and turned on, then connect the CCK to the hub, and then finally connect the CCK/Hub to the iPad. Any luck then? I see you have a question about using MIDI controller knobs in GarageBand. What you describe is a function of Logic Pro X, but it does not look. At the heart of GarageBand for iPad is a collection of what Apple refer to as. 25 is a 25‑mini‑key keyboard seemingly based on Akai's MPK Mini, which uses an.

Hi Crazy_Bill,

Thank you for posting. I see you have a question about using MIDI controller knobs in GarageBand.

What you describe is a function of Logic Pro X, but it does not look to be supported in GarageBand: Automatically assign MIDI controller knobs, sliders, and other controls with Logic Pro X 10.2.2. That resource covers devices that support this function in Logic Pro X if you wanted to look into that as a possibility.

Depending on exactly what you want to do, this might be helpful to do something similar in GarageBand: GarageBand for Mac: Use automation in the Piano Roll Editor

Take care.

Mpk Mini Play Ipad

I was wondering if anyone with the new iPad Pro has gotten the MPK Mini to work without a powered hub? I know on other iOS devices you had to give the device some kind of power but I’m wondering if the USB C port removes this issue. I’m asking because Akai released a new colorway for it and I honestly don’t think I can pass on it. I love my novation launchkey mini but the color on this has me stuck.

Using Mpk Mini With Garageband Ipad 1

• I am looking at getting one of these or the Launchkey Mini.
  Does the Launckey Mini need extra power too, or can the iPad power it?

• I'm using the Arturia MiniLab Mk2 and the iPad powers it just fine.

  It’s the only one I’ve used that didn’t felt cheap and didn’t cried for power. It’s made for iOS.

• On the „old“ iPad Pro i just need a tiny USB Hub without extra Power for my Akai MPK mini MKII to work.

  The iPad can power it. No need for anything extra.

  Yea I know that but I’m trying to avoid that. I just want to plug it in like I already do with many other keyboards. I was just wondering if the USB C port changes that

• @alecsbuga@YZJustDatGuy
  Thanks for the info.
  Good build quality is important.
  I am thinking the Launchkey is the one I am looking for.

  The Arturia Minilab MKII has better build quality hands down. It’s just heavier than the launchkey and less portable due to it’s taller encoders. I liked that you can change the color of the pads using the software on a computer. But the launchkey is definitely lighter and more portable IMO

  Just went and tested it. Works when I plugged it directly into my iPad Pro 2018 with a USB hub without power.
