See my newest video where I plugged 20 up to my 2021 M1 iPad Pro! ua-cam.com/video/YcQfcfx__1U/v-deo.html
Visually, the setup made me think “if Neil Peart was a pianist”😂
Lol
Neil was genius. Received 2 Doctor Degrees from The Julliard School. 1 percussion 1 musical percussion while touring, writing all the songs and percussion for RUSH. That's why his nickname is, 'The Doctor.' RIP~
We need an extended version of your jam JM-I was just getting into it when you cut it! Separate video would work bro:)) 🎶
Lol thanks! I felt like the video was already too long...I try to keep them under 15 minutes
I agree. You play well and with Rythm. Let's hear more. You could end your videos with some keyboard playing.
John Mike I have been watching for yearS..... You are a LEGEND
Once again bruh . U are a blessing to many!!!!
This is awesome! With this setup, you don't have to search for and select programs during a performance. Thank you, for sharing!
I watched this when it came out, and have come back to it to review. Most of my hardware is currently in storage, or at the church. But I have 4 controllers & 3 iPads where I’m staying ( although one will be sufficient…). Thanks, again for your videos!
✌🏻😎🎹🌴🌞 (or currently ✌🏻😎🎹🌴🌀)
Excellent Video! I was thinking if Buying a Macbook Pro or an iPad Pro, your video helped me so much! I think I´ll go on the iPad Pro
This is CRAZY and I LOVE IT!
That was crazy John Mike! I'm such a dinosaur with my keys bro'. I currently do all of my work from a single workstation, but am interested in expanding my sonic universe. Vids like this will help make the journey a bit easier. Thanks Bruh'! 😎
I would love to see you demo Camelot by Audio Modeling in this way with iPad and outboard gear.
Excellent as always. Very good demonstration of what we can do and more importantly, how to do it. Keep it Up!
My head is dizzy 🤪😜 but at 15 minutes in I'm going to ride it out until the end. The capabilities of these apps and tablets are crazy high. My capabilities to operate all of this is crazy low. Great video and good luck to me in the future 😂👍🏼💪🏼✊🏽
You are such a rockstar!!!! Best Wishes for you and family and Happy Easter!!!!
AndrewTGreen thanks! Same to you and yours!
Thank you for this video Brother. Blessings to you and yours! Stay safe, healthy, and resolute.
Same to you and yours
This is great for people that use an ipad for multiple events such as church, studio, the car, or where ever. Just doc your ipad and connect the usb hub and you're ready. My only question, the powered usb hub doesn't need ac power to run? I heard you mention that everything was getting power from the ipad.
Legendary Mike yup regular usb hubs from amazon...nothing crazy...iPad was putting out all the juice
@@Johnmike The larger USB hub has to be plugged in no? It's providing some of the power (it's a powered hub)- or did you not plug in the adapter?
李智上 I didn’t plug it in
Nice bro!
John Mike: we are about to go on a journey
Me: Well let me get my popcorn then 🍿 😂
Matthew Pate 😂
Whaaaat! Wow this is tight. Nice one Bro. Big fan
Wow my mind was like in a candy store looking at this video man! What a great demonstration of what you can do with just the IPad Pro. I know what my next piece of gear will be for sure! Thoroughly enjoyed it man! Keep these vids coming doc👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
In matter of fact I am playin’ on 30 Keboards connected to 1 iPad. It’s really dope!
Thank you , Mike! Question, when using the Apple Camera kit, how do you keep the iPad or iPhone charged! My iPhone 6 battery life really sucks for time!
Get the camera connection kit that has the charger built in
This is a game changer... John Mike thank you my brother for sharing...
It is! You’re welcome!
Nothing but respect for you and your skillz JM!
Thanks!
You got me like HAAAAAAAAAANG ON! Good stuff...
Bass Keytar! 🤣🤣🤣🤣thanks!
Of course it can handle it and more. The question is whether it can handle simultaneous midi streams and generate the proper sounds in realtime.
I have the same iPad Pro. I have two keyboard controllers attached to it. But, the number of keyboards has nothing to do with your question, if I’m reading it right. I believe what you’re asking is how many different Apps can be open on the iPad, simultaneously, that can be instantly accessed. I play out regularly and have used this setup for a few years. And, I have 9 different Apps all open and running in the background so that I can instantly access sounds from from any or several Apps at all times. For example: for one keyboard setup I have a Rhodes EP from (Neo Soul Keys Studio) set up to be controlled by my Nektar lx88+ set to MIDI channel 15. And, my M-Audio Axiom, set to MIDI channel 4 is controlling 2 different string sample sets from SampleTank, 5 different soundfont files from bs-16i, and 4 different string sample sets from iSymphonic. So that’s 11 string sample sets from 3 different Apps all layered together and set to MIDI channel 4. And a Rhodes piano set to MIDI channel 15 for a total of 12 different sounds from 4 different Apps all running at the same time, flawlessly(no hiccups). And I have many other multiple sound setups that are more complex than that, consisting of 4 split zones with multiple layers of different sample sets in each zone all running smoothly and with no latency issues.
Great around around demo.
This video is nice! That Jam session at the last was great!
I get it now why you got some many controllers. Just saw a photo of your family. You are ready to start the John Mike ios orchestra.
Lolololol
Leave it to John mike to hook up 11 devices to an iPad Pro lol
LOL
John Mike thanks man appreciate your videos
Christopher Moreira absolutely!
You stated that all ten keyboards/MIDI controllers are being powered by the iPad. That is incorrect. The electrical power for the keyboard/MIDI controllers is being provided by the powered USB Hub you connected them to. The keyboards are only sending MIDI information from the keyboards to the iPad to control various instrument Apps you have open on your iPad. But, the iPad cannot provide enough DC power to provide electrical power to all of those keyboard controllers. I also have a 2018 iPad Pro, a Nektar lx88+, and M-Audio Axiom 61. The iPad will only provide enough electrical power for the Nektar lx88+. The iPad, by itself, will not power both of those controllers. I require a powered USB Hub to provide the electric power to the keyboard controllers.
This is amazing big bro John Mike... God bless you bro
Man, you are a monster, in a positive way :)
I’m out buying an iPad Pro 2020 today. I’ve got the mark 2 Pro from before....
The PreSonus ATOM has different modes, like a MIDI CC mode for the pads, I could see that as a way to trigger different configurations of sounds.
You've made me subscribe to this channel finally. This video really helps
Thanks bro,
Please can you do a video for those with android phone.
Bro I love this video! Keep it up and God bless you and your family.
Same to you!
Great video. I wonder if the setup would allow all keyboards to be played at the same time. Of course you know that using a powered hub is the way to go. You can power the hub with a power pack if you need portability. I have a power pack made by Anker that powers my iPad Pro and iPhone for a few days of busy use. It has 3 USB ports to power 3 devices at the same time. FYI Gospel Musicians recommends to keep their sounds on an external SSD drive. I use a 64gb USB 3 thumb drive plugged into the Apple USB 3 Camera Connection Kit. The thumb drive has the expansions for all their apps and I can just leave it plugged in. My next iPad Pro will be the one with at least 256gb. I have 128 now and it not enough.
That would be an interesting test to see...but I don’t have enough hands lol...maybe setting up a 4 piece band using only the iPad🤔
2017: Running 2 Keyboards Using Only My iPhone!!
2020: I Plugged 10 Keyboards To My iPad & This is What Happened!
2030: Controlling world economic while playing on 230 keyboards using only my ios device!
🤣🤣🤣 sounds pretty accurate!
I was thinking more like: 2030 rigging presidential elections from my iPad.
This is crazy! Thanks for posting.
Thanks Mike love your work ...any thoughts about how to go about setting up seperate instrument audio outs to a mixer without an interface or daw just straight out to a mixer from the iPad .is that possible .?I use three controllers live with a stereo out only ... Bit hard for the Soundguy to control different sound levels....Peace .Nel
No way to do it without a multi-output interface...once you get that you can route them out separately using the AUM out
YO, THAT WAS FUN TO WATCH BRO. YOU CUT IT TOO SHORT, BRO!!! YOU A BAD MAN!!!
Ryan Candelario Lol dope! Thanks!
I am not sure if I am right but, the initial usb hub is type c to USB A connected to the iPad. The second USB hub is is a powered USB hub connected to the rest of the MIDI devices. So if the iPad is powering anything at all it would be the first three devices connected to the firs hub, that’s assuming that those devices are not DC powered themselves.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Moses Rahlogo I did not plug that hub up...I had it just in case it drew too much power...but never plugged it in...forgot to mention that
Nice tingh about about usb-c it can deliver a lot of power (steps from 5v to 25v) ... standaard usb-a is max 500mAmp so 10X usb-a is 10x500mAmp/5voltdc > thats is a 5 Amp/h max. battery drain ipad has a 9,7 amp/h battery So you will run ad max 1.5 hours
Thanx JM very interesting ! Stay well !!!!
Great video! I see the same the same m-audio midi controller that I have. Stay safe out there.
Awesome vid! The Bs16i....can you do a video about modern ways to get more gig ready sounds for this instrument?
I've been kinda wanting to do the same thing but on one to two keyboards in a lightweight one man band kind of deal. I'm not up on midi like I was when I was younger. Currently I use my Casio CTK 7200/Novation Launch Key and iPad/Android/Laptop to gig with. Most times I have the Casio and ipad. I'm not good with drums which is why I use the programmed drum beats or auto comp. I kinda of like doing this at times but want it all to be simple for someone who doesn't program much. At some point want to upgrade my keyboard for better polyphony and drum beats. I'm thinking I probably could do it with just the Casio and midi controller once I find the right iPad apps. I basically wish there was a workstation keyboard app that could meet those needs. Sampletank I love but not enough polyphony on my 6th gen iPad. If that had better polyphony I would be straight with that and midi controllers.
How do you get out from there?😂
Lol...move the s61 to the side lol
actually the one thing I was asking myself, too^^
it would be great to know what do you think / or how can you rate Artesia 88H electric piano
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE AMAZING WORK!!!
Thanks!
Roland A49 with additional drumpad for orchestral style organic music production or something else? I already have a basic 61 key arranger and I want the best combo of both to fulfill each other's gaps and tagteam them.
I have a yamaha psre353 as an arranger but I cant access it for now because of lockdown. I was planning to buy a midi keyboard with good keybed and minimum knobs and faders. Since I play piano style and am a beginner in DAW, I have no idea how important are knobs and faders and pads for things such as looping and all.
Is it better to buy a roland a49 along with a separate akaipad or buy something else? I want the best combo with my arranger since it can be used as a midi too but only for its keybed. I mostly play piano and strings but would love to start learning looping, altough I have seen mostly looping requires pads too in midi.
What will the best buy for me considering all of this? I'm really confused.
Wow! With that set up, a musician could be hired as an aux keyboardist #auxkeys #keyboardist #auxiliarykeyboardist #auxkeysplayer, in no time asap!!!! 🎹👍👍🔌
I'll take it! 🤣🤣
Can you do a Loop elements for Logic Pro !0.4.5 ?
This is dope. Can you please list all the apps and hardwares for connecting everything together?
Constant Xg it’s all in the description of the video
@@Johnmike Fantastic! That's very helpful bro. Loooove it!!!
Which has the best feeling pads and key bed in one?
That was amazing man 🔥🔥🔥
Subscribed! Thanks for the insight of using iPads in live situations!
Can you recommend an app to trigger samples live? In my band I have to do that sometimes.
I'm currently working with MainStage and use the EXS24 for that, but I would like to make the transition to iPad for my live gigs. I would like to trigger the samples with a key on my keyboard, just like I do with the EXS24.
Have you any experience with the Camelot Pro App? This seems like a worthy replacement for MainStage!
Thanks again for your awesome channel!
Thanks! And yea try beat hawk or imashine...check this vid I did using imaschine years ago: ua-cam.com/video/cNd-SpRByes/v-deo.html
@@Johnmike Alright! Thanks for your quick response!
It looks like Virsyn's Audiolayer iOS App can import EXS files. I've been trying to mess with that one lately....
That looks like so much fun!!!
nice video, im doing the same with arranger keyboards.
Would you recommend using an iPad pro for church playing every Sunday or a Mac? I’m in the process of buying one and would love to settle for the IPad if I can save some money!
Yup! I used my iPad for years to play in church!
Once again John fantastic video bro I have the IPad Pro 2017 with the lightning port I wonder will I be able to do something like this
Yes...just use the apple camera connection kit and usb hub and you will be good
bruh you wildin
We need the rest of that jam
Dope bruh!!
Nice presentation bro!
Seeing you surrounded by all those keyboards reminded me of prog rock keyboard players of the 70s. You should get a wizard robe with a fur collar and pretend you’re Rick Wakeman. :D
😂
Nerd Alert! I love it!
😂😂
Well done! This is a great proof of concept. BTW- there is no such thing as "Too Nerdy". Peace!
Lol thanks...some folks get huffy about stuff like this lol
So you really want us to think that jam session at the end was improv? (Obvious sarcasm) Man that was crazy sick. I know playing tutorials aren't your thing, but there's a lot we could learn if you did. Thanks for doing these JM!
Lol thanks!
Thx 4 that, So... Q 4u: HDY feed that 2 a drummer or the rest of the band? help with a reply pls thx
So....which keyboard goes away so you can get in to your station? Or you go under all the boards? LOL. Great stuff as always. Is that ending song you played "Hold On?" Thanks again man!
Lol I moved the s61 to the side...and yup “hang on”
@@Johnmike LOL. Put that in the next video. I'm subscribed. Look forward to learning more from you. Be safe!
88 88 key keyboards would be way too many 🤣
My iPad Air doesn’t like having much plugged in, it’s cool that the pro is down with all that, kinda earns the “pro” monicker.
Very good. Thanks.
Man I am literally thinking is he going to start using his toes next?! ;D
John, thanks for all your awesome content. The other day I asked you a question in comments of video comparing NI pianos. You mentioned you use a buffer setting of 256. I tried it, and it works great for latency. The only thing is I notice on the low octaves, I get almost like a slapback when I release the note. I tried all sorts of settings and doesn’t seem to correct it. Have you ever experienced this or have any thoughts on that?
Jhon, good evening! Do you know how to tell me the minimum hardware needed to do this, only with 2 or 3 controllers only? It is because here in Brazil the price of the iPad Pro is very high. Thank you!
I was already on the fence about getting an iPad Pro... and you come out with this!!!! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Btw you deserve an Apple endorsement!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Lololol
Amazing, thank you
That's dope
Amazing man!🙏😊
Hey John Mike, question: how can one get audio out of an iPhone with out a ear phone put? If I’m using the charging lightning connection to keep phone charged? I only have USB ports. Is there a USB to 1/8” adapter?
Check this video ua-cam.com/video/wVhSsYBTIsM/v-deo.html
Dope stuff!
Great video, I have been looking for something like the AUM. So now I am just trying to find AUM in the apple store. Also where in the triton app do you find the synth stab?
It was a upgrade I believe
What’s good Jmike! Nice vid although I am still watching it. Lol Quick question, is there a device out there that will allow your iPad to charge while still connected to your keyboard? That way you wouldn’t have to worry about charging you iPad the day before. Thanks in advance!
SoMusic yess , a camera connection usb 3-1 or 4-1 . Either will be great . I use em
Yup...this one: amzn.to/2JY9jxK
Thank you guys! I’ll check them out. This is why I love being in this kind of community! I was struggling by myself. Thanks again
John Mike Is this connector better than the lightning to usb3 adapter or is it bc of the different functions?
A PRIME Prospect I feel like it is because it gives you more ins and outs....
Unreal
Drop the track 😳
@12:57 what piano patch is that?!?
hello mike. m\can you help me? how to connect your ipad to speakers if you’re using your ipad usb port for all your midi controller?
Check this video I did ua-cam.com/video/d3GEJmtr8Bo/v-deo.html
I've been watching some of your midi keyboard videos, maybe you can help me with my decision. I'm a pianist and I have a Kawai Grand Piano and a Motif XS8. I need a keyboard controller for synths and the occasional piano. I love the action on my motif xs, but I don't want to pay that level of cash for another motif. Is there a controller that you can recommend that has a keybed that's light enough for synths, trumpets, etc, but that is also not all springy (ie 25 keys, 49 keys, etc) so that I can also play some piano parts? THanks.
Check the m-audio hammer 88
For piano the M-Audio Hammer 88 is a good choice. It has the weighted hammer action. But, it has no other control features that would be good for controlling synthesizers. There is a new version of the Hammer 88 called the ‘88 Pro’. Gives you the weighed action with 9 sliders, 8 rotary encoders, drum pads and several switches. Price is $800. And it weighs 40 pounds. If weight and/or price is a factor, go with a Nektar lx88+. Same amount of built in controls, but has a semi weighted keyboard. Sells for $320. And it only weighs 18 pounds.
Hello, nice video. I am thinking about getting the SL88 studio or M audio hammer 88. I am leaning towards the Sl88 studio. Does this controller work with Garageband on the iPad? Any answer would be greatly appreciated!!
Yes it does
Question: when I use AUM and swipe the screen to the side I sometimes hear a static popping sound...are you familiar with this sort of problem?
Good stuff!!
Dope AF!
What just happened lol nice. you got crazy skill
Lol thanks!
the usb hub s powered 🔌♩
i was wondering if the i pad can handle it with nn powered usb hub and some midi controllers ♩♜
Yes it can...actually the hub was not plugged up
Hi John i just bought the AUM app and i have not been able to open multiple instances of Bs-16i app as you show on this video. Is there a setting I need to change on either app? Thanks
Make sure you are using the AU version and not the inter-app audio version
@@Johnmike Thanks for replying
Could I do the same with my iPad Pro 2017 model with 5pin midi keyboards (Roland fantom, Casio ht3000, microkorg, Roland gr55,) but then use softsynths on my iPad or do I need another iPad with these softsynths on it??
Does that make any sense?
Yes the older iPad Pro sound doesn’t just fine
i LOVE THIS! Lemme ask please, which Synth sound did you use on that midi as you started? sounds like a synth padish. the name please
It’s called synth stab inside the korg module app
@@Johnmike thank you. Will look for it!
Very cool!
Awesome!
So would I be better off buying an iPad Pro than buying a Mac for recording?
Adam Greenwell depends on the level of recording you are looking to do...beatmaking, recording yourself playing...an iPad is perfect for it...but if you are trying to do serious production...I’m talking recording bands, mixing, mastering...recording songs with 100+ track counts...etc then you’ll need a MAC for that
