I am new to audio interfaces (and MIDI) and I am sure that I am committing some basic mistake here, but I would certainly welcome some suggestions.
The A-88 can be connected to the iPad via Apple’s iPad Camera Connection Kit. Connect the A-88 to your iPad and play your favorite music apps that support Core MIDI. Audio Units are the standard for instrument and effect plugins in the OSX. Likewise, Test Setup in Audio MIDI Setup does nothing. As iPad music apps continue to evolve and improve, you’ll want a pro-quality keyboard to play them. AU Lab allows you to connect MIDI channels to sound modules called Audio Units.
I have tried changing the channel on the CODE49 with no improvement. However, nothing seems to be coming through? I would expect that pressing a key on the CODE49 would make (at least) the MIDI data LED on the Scarlett flash, but the only time I see any light there is when I power the CODE49 on. The CODE49 (which has been updated to the latest firmware) is powered externally and connected from MIDI out to MIDI in on the Scarlett. I have connected my devices as shown here: MIDI Setup with a Kenton MIDI Thru-5 between the Scarlett and the synths. I would like to control the synths (and a DAW) using a M-Audio CODE49 with the Scarlett acting as a hub. The Scarlett gets audio from a Korg Volca Mix, and is connected to a M1 Mac mini. I have just started out with my Scarlett 8i6 and a couple of small Korg synths.
