Can you hook up a midi keyboard via the USB. From the Detailed pictures it looks like you can, but one review says you can't.

I found it to be a less than suitable device and returned it. noisy, unstable just a toy.

I have not tried that. However, from what I understand, the USB port simply replicates the standard MIDI ports. MIDI channels are assigned via whatever app you are using. The CoreMIDI drivers within iOS should pick up the keyboard and treat it like any other MIDI input. Sorry the answer is not definitive. Whenever I get in front of my iS202 this evening, I will try it and check to see if your question has been answered.

I have to concur on the previous comments here, after having tried to get an ICM4+ midi interface to be recognized on the ipad via the USB-B jack on the is202. Nothing worked until I connected it via the standard DIN jacks--voila!--interface present. The thing that's SO insane about that is the is202 manual shows a laptop connected to it! While not conclusive, that more than suggests the USB-B jacks would be more than simple equivalents for DIN jacks! Imagine how much less confusion about the purpose of that USB jack if Behringer had shown a keyboard instead of a laptop. Alas, its suggests someone in marketing was as confused as the rest of us.

You can't, even if you get an adapter it won't connect to the iPad. The USB port is only for transferring midi to and from a computer.

Yes, you can connenct is as a Master keyboard. It's not a DAW controller. The keyboard is amazing. Enjoy it.

Only midi connections. There is a micro USB input on the side, but that is for keeping your device charged. I don't believe it will function as an actual input.

Hi, no, this keytar not have any sound, it's just a midi controller: you can connect a sound module or a computer with sound USB or MIDI

It's not a keyboard, it's a midi controller. You need a PC/Mac with speakers + software to use this.

I've had mi Tascam long enough I don't readily remember, but my guess would be that it doesn't come with a MIDI cable. Besides, if you're going to run MIDI with it, you'll need TWO cables - one for MIDI in and another for MIDI out.

Hi Molivia, I have used this USB to MIDI adapter off and on for some time and it works fine for me. I use Windows 7 32 but that should not matter; the signals at the peripheral level should be the same for 64 bit or 32 bit computers. When making your connections be sure to connect the adapter MIDI IN connector to the Keyboard out connector and the MIDI adapter OUT connector to the Keyboard MIDI IN connector. At first blush that may sound weird until you think about, the output from any source usually goes to the input of whatever receiver you plan to send it too. Lights on the adapter body: Red is MIDI power, Yellow is MIDI in and Blue is MIDI out. The lights merely show that the signal is passing thru the MIDI lines. I hope this is helpful, Jim C

The keyboard has no USB inputs. It only has a USB output cord that can plug into your computer.

No you cannot. It is a MIDI controller so it sends MIDI continuous control messages to your computer via USB. You can use these messages to mix using audio software, but the hardware itself cannot carry audio.

If it isn't a midi keybored then no. But I recommend the machine mk2 it is awsome. If you get a midi keybored it is very easy to setup.if you need help u can ask me

Hi, basically this model only works as a midi controller, you either connect your sound module, laptop, iPad ... What I do is connect it to a keyboard synth, with a midi air by Maudio, which is completely wireless, then straight to an amp, any further question, just let me know

No only *usb* to computer! There are no midi or other audio inputs and outputs bro.

I'm using a ASUS laptop and have no problems. It must be Windows 7 and have at least 2 GHZ (Gigahertz). I don't use a midi so I can't answer that. The guy below is giving another similar response to that question.

I Also use the Camera Kit Conector for USB keyboards. But I keep the IRIG MIDI for my old keyboards that there is only MIDI conections avalible.

you can play midi files from a usb flash, but they have to be midi format 0, you can load midi format 1 files and write them to one of the internal songs and then play them

Are you using the USB cable it came with? I had to get a separate midi cable, which I plugged into my sound card and it works just fine.

If you mean 'Will this work as a midi controller?' Then the answer is yes. But you will need a USB A to B device cable
