Help Using DS61, iPod Pro, Camelot Pro as a live-gig rig
2 Feb 2019, 03:34Hello,
I play in a small rock band and I am using the DS61 for our performances. I read about other people using their keyboard as a controller to run sounds off iPads and wanted to try it out. I am a total rookie when it comes to midi, and have been struggling with my setup for a week now (lots of time with the manual, YouTube, and google searches...but still having fun).
I am using the Roland UM-ONE USB Midi interface to connect my DS to a 2018 iPad Pro via the apple adaptor (with usb C, usb A, and VGA). I've connected the power cord to the USB-C connection because I read that I needed to power the iPad if using it for midi in and out. I've been able to get the iPad to recognize the DS as a controller with midi coming in (I can play on the Korg Module LE, and GarageBand...haven't tried anything else).
But, there are 2 problems.
1. I am trying to get Camelot Pro to control the DS via midi and it says that it has connected to the DS, but it isn't actually controlling the DS. 2. I can't get the audio to come out from the iPad Pro to the DS (which I have attached to speakers). I thought it would be able to do this, but now I am completely unsure after reading about this online.
So, any advice would be super helpful. Thanks for reading.
