Hi, The interface includes two midi cables so you can connect to your keyboard.

I really don't know how to connect this to the iPad. I do have a MIDI interface for my iPad which I don't really use but That would be the first step. I bought the iRig MIDI interface to use to run sequences off of the iPad into an external sound module but couldn't find an app that would do what I needed.Sorry, this isn't much help but the MIDI interface is a start.

That should work fine. I use mine to connect a Presonus 16.4.2 mixer to the iPad so I can view a solo'd channel in Studio Six's Audiotools. No reason that shouldn't work for Garage Band as well.

Well if it has a regular midi input on keyboard it should. I ran it into my computer and went thru band in a box with no problems. I hooked it up to two different Roland sound canvas's with no problems. All of that via midi interface. I currently use a mfc10 foot switch to a Roland sc8850 sound canvas and it works great.

Richard: I just tested this Midi cable running a laptop with Windows 8 64-bit and a Casio LK-55 Keyboard. I'm pleased to tell you that it does work just fine.

You need Yamaha tone generator because this cannot generate it's own sound. The best match is Yamaha vl70m but unfortunately this is no longer produced. You might browse for newer version. Or it can Olson connected to Yamaha keyboard equipped with midi connection.

For keyboard there is a cheap multi efdects pedal calledthe digitech500. Works great through direct connect. But you should also get a sustain pedal

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 use a Mac, so I can't speak for Windows. After I set up the sensitivity and tuning in the Fishman application, the info was stored in the transmitter. Now I just put the USB receiver dongle into the Mac when needed and all my different softwares (Reason, Logic, Reaktor) see it as a MIDI keyboard without using the Fishman software.

It is a USB keyboard so a computer with midi adapter running through the computer would work fine. I suggest you look at the Novation SL MKII - I have worked with both the Impulse and the SL and the SL is a much better KB for the bucks. Its the same size and has the Midi outputs your looking for to directly control your Yamaha or any other Midi keyboard. Still has the USB for use on your Mac or PC (does anyone actually use a PC for music production. The SL MKII works very good with Apples Logic and Logic has an amazing amount of sounds. Great production software!!

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.

Yes, it works very well with all the instruments I've tried in Garage Band. It's my primary practice set-up when I'm away from a studio: USB connection to MacBook Pro running Garage Band.

You can not use this TC-Helicon without a keyboard that has a MIDI connection. It does not matter what type of keyboard as long as it has the MIDI connection.

I have not used this with OS X but I think there should be no problem with any software that handles midi input via USB.

Highly recommend you get a MIDI interface. M-Audio makes a good one, the 2 X 2. I've had it for years and I've always been very happy with it.

Used a Midi to usb cable & driver made by "M Audio" to connect my microkorg to my pc. M Audio has since then been bought out by Avid, so the newer version of that cable is probably even better now. The other way to connect it is thru a DAW such as MBOX. There are midi inputs on the hardware that will interface with protools.
