Yes, it is sample-based. They sound so good because there will be a highly-detailed version of these in SampleTank 3 too :) We did things like moving the transformer away from the rest of the circuitry to reduce noise on one of the electric pianos, for example, since we're quite capable of circuit-level and mechanical repair/changes/etc.
Hey Mariela Vargas I haven't tried the transpose actually I usually just change octaves, as for working with a galaxy tab, I don't have one to try it with so you would have to check with IK Multimedia on that question to be sure.
Hmm. My only concern is that if I were to use this with my laptop and sequencer, I'd have to press all those buttons to switch midi channels, whereas my old keyboard automatically plays whichever track is selected in my sequencer. Is this something that I don't have to worry about unless I'm using an iPhone/iPad? Also, of the three products that you mentioned, do any of them feel plastic-y?
Great midi controller but I have a couple of questions, how does work the transpose button? You explained the octave button but no the transpose. And do you think this midi controller will work with a Samsung Galaxy tab with the usb cable? I'll wait for your answer! Thanks!
well you won't have to do that with this in your daw, it will play whatever track is armed, I was just showing that for the specific apps that require different midi channels to be triggered :) I think the line 6 or irig keys has the best feel overall, I like the line 6 mobile keys but it's a bit too big to be mobile for me, it doesn't fit in my bag, similar to this irig keys. The line 6 is my favorite because it has full sized keys.
Hy please let me know about the use of keys on a live gig....i have a main keyboard And want a second one smaller than my first for live gigs at pubs around my neighbour...but i dont know how the connections are disposed for it And how i can plug it on amplifier for huge quality sound(midi, USB, etc)...so many thanks
You would probably have to export it from amplitube, then hook your ipad up to your computer, open iTunes, and save it from the app sharing folder for Amplitube. Or you may be able to just email it to yourself from Amplitube.
I've never had any issues getting the app to work with the keyboard. Sound is subjective, that's why I like to do videos so people can judge for themselves. Thanks for the comment.
Well, I wouldn't completely agree. GarageBand's organ implementation has pretty impressive sound, and Galieo has awesome functionality. Plus, the iPad is more portable, lighter, and has battery life greater than any laptop in existence. It does come in handy, and can do the job when you want it to do.
I liked iLectric when it came out. But go check out Neo Soul Keys for iPad - there's no competition, it's just so much better sounding. It's even cheaper.
IK?? customer support is the worst on the planet.. I have lost a ton of time and money trying to get my products authorized... No Help no matter what I do.. Emailed over and over only wanted a solution or my money back!! NOTHING!!

And it (plus iLectric Piano too) are on sale now :)
I like the sound of the line 6, and the fact that it has full-sized keys gives it an advantage. Thanks again for the recommendations. :)
@Uprightest I'm not sure I assumed it was sample based given their sampketank background. whatever it is I like it and it loads fast :)
Hey my friend....You got to review my new Neo-Soul Keys® for iOS coming March 14th....
@AAMediaMusic Yeah I actually wish the keyboard was shorter but the actual feel of the keys and how much they travel when pressed is something I like
@Phew SD compares very well. They did a great job with the sound quality.
@AAMediaMusic I like that it doesn't need an adapter, just plug and play. and I like the feel of the keys better than the axiom keys personally.
they also make a grand piano app called iGrand Piano
yep, I have it, I'm a huge fan of Neo Soul keys vst as well as the app, sounds great.
Nice!! ...now who do I talk to so I can get in on beta testing of ST3 ;)
Hmm. My only concern is that if I were to use this with my laptop and sequencer, I'd have to press all those buttons to switch midi channels, whereas my old keyboard automatically plays whichever track is selected in my sequencer. Is this something that I don't have to worry about unless I'm using an iPhone/iPad? Also, of the three products that you mentioned, do any of them feel plastic-y?
how small are the keys? are they normal mini keys? i am considering grabbing one I love IK products I just don't know if I want mini keys.
@AAMediaMusic Yeah its cool to I just like the feel of these keys a bit better and the direct connection
Great midi controller but I have a couple of questions, how does work the transpose button? You explained the octave button but no the transpose. And do you think this midi controller will work with a Samsung Galaxy tab with the usb cable? I'll wait for your answer! Thanks!
This is very good man.. But I'm searching for a decent piano sound, would you know any app that sounds like an awesome piano grand for iPad?
well you won't have to do that with this in your daw, it will play whatever track is armed, I was just showing that for the specific apps that require different midi channels to be triggered :) I think the line 6 or irig keys has the best feel overall, I like the line 6 mobile keys but it's a bit too big to be mobile for me, it doesn't fit in my bag, similar to this irig keys.

Hey St. Joe, which iPad are you using w/i this review video? iPad2? iPad3? new iPad w/ Retina Display & Lightning connector?
Hy please let me know about the use of keys on a live gig....i have a main keyboard And want a second one smaller than my first for live gigs at pubs around my neighbour...but i dont know how the connections are disposed for it And how i can plug it on amplifier for huge quality sound(midi, USB, etc)...so many thanks
yeah the app will work on the ipad3
Hello thanks for the demo. Do U know how to change the pitch bend range on this keyboard? Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Pitch bend settings depend on the app/software you're using.
@@SoundsAndGear I use GarageBand, Sunrizer Synth as well as others. Is there not a way of setting pitch range on iRig Keys?
@@bestrickie2 Not sure, probably would have to download the software and do it on a computer.
@@SoundsAndGear ah I didn’t know there’s software for it. I use the iRig Keys in conjunction with iPad, GarageBand and other.
@@bestrickie2 yeah, only for the computer though
Great vid bro....Is the EP sample based or synth?
where do you get the little ipad stand?
this keyboard connects via usb to whatever host/computer or iOS device you are using
Thanks for this info. Can you please explain how I can transfer my completed track on Amplitube to a CD please.
You would probably have to export it from amplitube, then hook your ipad up to your computer, open iTunes, and save it from the app sharing folder for Amplitube. Or you may be able to just email it to yourself from Amplitube.
@DJKevWest they ate kind of in between mini and full. God for mobile but I wouldn't use it as my main.
how much does the irig keys go for?
I've never had any issues getting the app to work with the keyboard. Sound is subjective, that's why I like to do videos so people can judge for themselves. Thanks for the comment.
Does the sound come out from the iRig keyboard or your ipad?
iRig keyboard
Will it work with the mpc live?
Yeah it does, I've tried it, just hook it up via USB.
@@SoundsAndGear thanx
No problem.
Are there any sounds that emulate a Hammond Organ, i.e.-B3?
Not in this one it's dedicated to EP sounds, check out the Galileo app
SoundsAndGear
Thanks. Does the Galileo app work with the iRig?
It does, but if you're serious organ player, it's not really suitable for it.
Darko Ristic I would imagine one wouldn't look to an iPad for serious organ work, but it can get the job done in certain situations :)
Well, I wouldn't completely agree. GarageBand's organ implementation has pretty impressive sound, and Galieo has awesome functionality. Plus, the iPad is more portable, lighter, and has battery life greater than any laptop in existence. It does come in handy, and can do the job when you want it to do.
wich aps for this?
It's core midi compliant so it works with pretty much any app that receives midi input.
@John Finter indeed! :)
Does it respond to pressure sensitivity?
They are velocity sensitive but no aftertouch.
Now, how do I change the sensitivity. feel like I must press hard to get sound
Where does the sound come from.
It's coming off of the iPad
How does this hold up after about 5 years? And would you prefer this over the pro?
Still works, I dig the size of it, just depends on what you're looking for.
Thanks for the reply!
I liked iLectric when it came out. But go check out Neo Soul Keys for iPad - there's no competition, it's just so much better sounding. It's even cheaper.
ik makes that as well
I'm using the iPad 2 fam
iLectric App does not work through the iRig i have both these! The sounds are not good on any of the Instruments on the App its Expensive too
cool man, no problem!
nice!!
yes i think NSK is the closet emulation of a real ep
it's 99 bucks
my irig keys 37 died out of warranty.
IK does not repair their products so I can now throw it away.
never more IK multimedia in my setup.
Man that's unfortunate for sure
IK?? customer support is the worst on the planet.. I have lost a ton of time and money trying to get my products authorized... No Help no matter what I do.. Emailed over and over only wanted a solution or my money back!! NOTHING!!
I've never ran into any of those issues with authorization, can't say i've used support so I can't comment on that.
