Good call 5pinDIN.
I sent iConnectMIDI an email asking for suggestions with the setup we have been discussing along with any compatibility issues they may be aware of.
“If the devices have 5-pin DIN connection, they will work with the iConnectMIDI4+ and pass MIDI to any device connected to the iCM4.
If your USB MIDI devices are class-compliant, the iCM4 will connect all your suggested devices. That being said, we do support some Yamaha MIDI device that do not appear to be class-compliant.
I do not believe you would need to use your Yamaha i-MX1 interface as the iCM4 will connect to the iPad and pass MIDI to any device connected to the iCM4 and charge the iPad.
With best regards,
BTW: I have noticed on one of my iPad’s; the 30 pin charging port is getting looser as time goes on from ‘heavier plastic’ adapters being plugged in accommodating interface aps associated with iPad aps other than the Motif-Rack XS routing we are discussing.

mmmmmmmm ???????
It would be nice to just be able to use our charging 30pin to USB cord.
Not to forget the fact that many adapters will not allow us to have a case on the iPad.

Could you try the iConnectMIDI you have without the Yamaha i-MX1 interface?
Then add your keyboards via 5pin DIN MIDI cables, then to the Motif-Rack XS

I hope that I will clarify your thoughts.
Now I have iPad Air 2 (the latest version and the latest iOS 9.2.1). Since it has lightning connector I have both 30pin to lightning adapter in order to use my older devices like iCM and Yamaha i-MX1. Everything still works and I have even successfully used application on iPad for configuring iCM. It is connected to mini USB port devoted to iOS devices and via 30pin to lightning adapter to iPad Air 2. As a keyboard controller I have used MOXF connected to one 5pin MIDI port, while on the other I have connected Rack XS. After configuring iCM in such a manner that only 5pin MIDI port 2 exchanges data with iOS devices on first USB port, than I could use Yamaha Voice editor application to select voices on Rack XS by touching iPad screen.
I hope now it’s much clearer. If you have any other idea of connection setup, let me know. I would be glad to try it. Alex |
