![]() ![]() Or, you can forget all of the cables and go with a completely wireless Bluetooth option that can be really convenient with iPad and iPhone-based Logic Pro and GarageBand setups: Lightning-equipped DAW hosts (the latest iPhones and some iPad models) can leverage the old trusty Apple connection kit. Or go wireless – best Bluetooth MIDI keyboards for Mac and iPadĪs we touched on above, folks using a USB-C iPad like the latest Airs and Pro models (the new Logic Pro for iPad requires an A12 Bionic chip or higher) will be ready to go out of the box or with a basic USB-A to USB-C adapter you can pick up cheap on Amazon or elsewhere. The mini, obviously the more portable of the bunch, delivers a particularly small set of 25 springy keys with very little throw (in my experience), the mid-tier option takes it up to 37 keys, and the pro variant trades out the miniature keys for 25 “full-size” synth action pushers. They don’t have the drum pads you’ll find from AKAI above (that’s what its iRig Pads MIDI groove controller is for), but they do provide the most important elements of a MIDI keyboard controller otherwise and are also available in three different models. The iRig Keys 2 lineup on display here delivers “improved compatibility for the latest mobile devices, full MIDI input and output, and multiple power options” as well as a suite of added assignable control knobs and your usual octave switchers, pitch bend wheel, and modulation wheel. Lightning to micro-USB connection cable.Whereas some of the bigger music production brands will require an adapter or hub to go straight into the USB-C jack on your iPad, IK ships everything in the box: Not only are they on the more affordable side when it comes to relatively recent releases, but they also include all of the connection cables just about any Apple gear user could need. If you’re looking to score a new MIDI keyboard controller for iPad (they also work with Mac and iPhone), the IK Multimedia iRig Keys 2 lineup is worth a look. ![]() Good bang for your buck, various size options, and loads of cable connectors included in the box (USB-C, USB-A, Lightning)
