Tap! Magazine's Caity Foster has given iRig MIDI a complete check-out in the January 2012 issue and she is so impressed she has given it their maximum five out of five star score: "We were massively impressed with the iRig MIDI. Its diminutive form factor and the wide range of high-quality CoreMIDI apps it can work with, make it a powerful and portable solution for performers."
Tap! Magazine's Caity Foster has given iRig MIDI a complete check-out in the January 2012 issue and she is so impressed she has given it their maximum five out of five star score!
Here are some of her comments:
"The iRig MIDI interface is the height of simplicity and power when it comes to iOS music-making."
"There are several ways to get MIDI signals into and out of iOS but IK Multimedia's iRig MIDI has to be one of the tidiest."
"Getting it set up only takes a matter of moments: you simply plug the iRig MIDI into your device, then attach a cable at one end and your instrument at the other. Easy."
"The interface worked perfectly with all of the apps we tried, including IK's own SampleTank, Apple's GarageBand, Akai SynthStation and Korg iElectribe."
"The iRig MIDI looks remarkably similar to Line 6's Mobilizer interface, however IK's offering differs in two significant ways. First. as well as MIDI In and Out ports, this little black box offers MIDI thru functionality. This powerful addition enables you to set up advanced rigs..."
"Secondly the iRig MIDI features a micro-USB port for charging your device while it's in use - great if you're worried about running out of juice in the middle of a virtuoso performance."
"In all, we were massively impressed with the iRig MIDI. Its diminutive form factor and the wide range of high-quality CoreMIDI apps it can work with, make it a poweful and portable solution for performers."
Caity's final verdict is:
"Brilliant for performers thanks to its size, plus MIDI Thru puts it ahead of the competition."
