Hi again John and others
Two weeks on and still no success despite drinking in and acting on all the advice given.
I'm beginning to think that the KN7000 - now 10 years old - may not be able to speak to a modern apple ipad and its Apps...there may be a 'language' differential...

Rog
That is strange as I have Galileo working on my controller set to ch 1, and using iRig Midi as an interface.

Hello Roger,

I've been thinking of using an Ipad for my sheet music as it would save a great deal of hassle when playing out. However, on making various enquiries, most people I spoke with advised me not to go for an Apple Ipad as you are restricted to using their Apps/software which can only be bought from them. Whereas if I buy a Pad that uses the Android system, not only do they have hundreds of free Apps but they can be used with almost every other Pad in the market today.

As you have an Ipad, I'm wondering whether this could be your problem. As you say, the KN7 is now 10 years old and maybe a conversion of some sort is needed before it'll work with anything modern such as the Ipad. (similar to the Technic styles that have been converted for use on other keyboards).

Just a thought!

It's got to be something like that Audrey - hope to find out more today from my keyboard dealer...Rog

Bernie - you say that you've got Galileo working on your controller - what is that instrument and have you tried using it with your KN7000?

Roger Just been spending a few nights with my nose in Alec's fantastic book "Getting the most from your KN7000" if you read this in light of what you are trying to do,it appears that if you have the correct drivers you should be able to use just the USB. cable as it is possible to send MIDI and AUDIO both ways down the usb cable which would allow midi control from the KN down the usb and let the audio from your pad to return to the KN7000 as a line in and playing through the KN speakers. It looks as if you will need to load your pad with the drivers from the original CD rom for the KN or if this is not possible try getting generic drivers that will allow to set up midi and audio.

Best regards John.
P.S. perhaps technicsplayer may have an opinion?

Hi John - many thanks for all that 'nose diving' - yes I've got to get an appropriate driver into my ipad. I've got a CD copy of Alec's great book and will have a read for myself too...many thanks.

Roger
Sorry for the delay in answering, but I just now tried the KN7000 with the Galileo using iRigMidi. It fired right up with the midi cable to the midi out.

Bernie

Ok Bernie thanks - I'll keep trying...Rog

Icidentally Bernie - next time you hook up would you mind having a look at what the midi settings are on your kn7000 - there's about 8 different sets of settings - sorry to be a nuisance...thanks.
