Could I use this device to connect 1 iPad (running a midi controller app) to 2 amps that each have midi "in" ports for receiving settings? I would want to be able to switch from one amp to another in order to send different settings to each.

This does have 2 independently routable sets of MIDI Din Outs. So if I understand your question correctly the answer would be yes.

Hi Doug, Let me start by saying I am a keyboard player and own several IK Multimedia products. The Total Workstation XL Bundle for PC, Sampletank, iGrand and iLectric Pianos for IOS, and iRig Pre for IOS. I have an extensive collection of virtual instruments and I'm very impressed with all of these products. I did try iRig MIDI and here are two issues I found. First; I need to use 2 keyboards in my live setup. I took a standard 5 pin MIDI cable out of one keyboard and into the MIDI input of the second keyboard. I then used the supplied iRig MIDI to MINI plug and connected the iRig MIDI to my iPad. I should have been able to set each keyboard for a different MIDI channel and trigger the sound set up on that MIDI channel in Sampletank for IOS. However, it would only allow me to use one keyboard, or input source, on only one MIDI channel at a time. Using a standard USB 'printer style' cable out of the second keyboard to the iPad Camera Connection kit(plugged into the iPad) solved this problem. I am mentioning this in case you might have two different trigger sources which you need to set to two different MIDI channels. This could be an issue. Which brings me to the second issue; there were supposed to be 2 of the special iRig MIDI to MINI cables which interface with iRig MIDI and 1 USB cable to connect to a USB power supply(which is not included). Problem was that they included 2 USB cables and only 1 special MIDI cable in the box. If I recall correctly there were @ 7 out of 11 reviewers that received the wrong cables, as I did. My best advice is to pick one up and give it a try to see if it will satisfy your needs. But I just wanted you to be aware of a couple of issues which might possibly affect it's overall performance.

It does have that option. There is a quick switch button on the front of the device that swaps between the two. I did attempt to use this feature once with another amp for stereo but it didn't seem to get a signal (my amp is extremely unreliable and fairly old)

Hi, good question. I believe it depends on the type of bluetooth your device has. Exsample, I have an iPad Air and has a bluetooth 4.0 type built within. So far I found it can transmit a minimum of two devices at full capacity i.e. my bluetooth keyboard and my bluetooth ear phones at the same time. My previous iPad 2 could only transmit a signal for only 1 device at a time. So...the only way you can find out is by turning on one speaker at a time and see if it gets discovered by what ever you're joining too. Good luck and let me know how it works out. Peace!

This cannot connect right into an ipad since it is built to connect into a computer. You would need something to handle the USB, or a midi output from another MPC to connect to the iPad. You could try the Maschine app or something else to get a drum pad into your iPad. http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/maschine-for-ios/imaschine/

I've used it with the garage band app on an iPad 2 (with both iOS6 & iOS7) via the standard apple USB adapter - it works fine!

If you mean use for example, an iPad to play music on both speaker sets at the same time, no. They will be on different frequencies and the source can only connect to one thing at a time.

It's a MIDI controller compatible through USB. I doubt it will work with an iPad. I would be suprised if somehow otherwise.

This device is actually designed to used with an iPad and the akai app. If you were to use it with a laptop or other computer, it would only be as a controller for a software program. The device has no sounds in it.

Yes, the device works as a normal 2 channel interface as with the USB cable that is used to power it. The iPad connection is a separate plug on the unit and a special cable used for that purpose. I have given it to my keyboard player to use when his interface was down and it worked well with Logic.

Your MIDI connection would be possible with the hardware and MIDI DIN ports. Although, guitar equipment will typically be registering MIDI notes, CC values, program/bank changes, SysEx dumps, and MIDI sync messages. Im not sure your going to be able to get your signal to switch back and forth from your amps similar to an A/B guitar signal switch. You can always send a support inquiry for details on your particular setup at www.iconnectivity.com/support

Well as far as I have investigated, there's a problem. Im trying to smooth out a connection issue with my galaxy SIII, and two of these controllers. I can get them to connect, assign them a control 1 and control 2, but they act as the same controller. I kinda lost interest in messing with it. Far as a ipad, im not sure what your outcome will be. However I think its possible, though difficult to get them to cooperate.

It is a midi controller so it will work fine with any DAW, but I do not own an Ipad so I wouldn't know the answer to that. Try googling it. As far as the playability goes, it is alright. Good for its price. it is not good for playing piano at all because the way it registers the velocity readings are very low so the result is it sounds like you are barely pressing the keys, but it works great for synth playing. The springs under the keys respond and feel very good, and as I'm sure you probably know, there are plenty of knobs and buttons for plenty of midi learn functions. The only downside is the way it reads velocity.

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.

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.

I was wondering if it is possible to link up two of these for a stereo effect while playing my iPod through one of them. Is that possible?

You can always wire 2 devices to the same connection. They are rated for 10 amps. That is probably plenty.
