iConnectMIDI4+ Lightning Version Hyper-Connective Networkable 4×4 MIDI Interface with Audio passThru for Mac, PC and iOS
Use your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch with your Mac/PC like a plugin, controller, and so much more! iConnectMIDI4+ Lightning Version completely redefines the concept of a MIDI & audio interface, integrating today’s professional multiple-computer (iOS, Mac, PC) set-ups with iOS devices and MIDI hardware. Not only does iConnectMIDI4+ support three computer devices simultaneously – Macs, PCs, and iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch) – its Audio passThru technology routes audio between them digitally with zero signal degradation, simply appearing as an audio interface to the operating systems. This combination of audio and MIDI connections has countless applications. A synth running on your iPad could behave as if it were a touch-controlled plug-in running inside your host DAW, or you could process a software instrument in your DAW through an effects processing app like an amp simulator on your iPhone. If you are feeling adventurous you can even use your Mac or PC as a slave to your iOS device. The iConnectMIDI4+ offers seamless integration in all directions. Many MIDI devices include a USB port for input/output of MIDI. iConnectMIDI4+ accommodates for this by addition of a USB host port that allows musicians to integrate their USB MIDI devices seamlessly. iConnectMIDI4+’s MIDI host port supports up to 8 USB MIDI synths, controllers, etc. enabling all computing devices that are connected to iConnectMIDI4+ to send and receive MIDI from devices that are connected to its USB host port. iConnectMIDI4+ also has an Ethernet port. Users can connect iConnectMIDI4+ to wireless router, Ethernet hub/router, or any Ethernet enabled device via its dedicated Ethernet port and is network discoverable, allowing for musicians to control any of the devices connected to iConnectMIDI4+ via network connection, adding further control and connectivity options. With all of this connectivity comes possibility and nearly endless options.

Works with Yamaha U1SH.

Outstanding performance, incredibly well made. Crushes the competition!
Works great with iPad. No additional power needed. I was shopping for an interface to control my delay pedal from my iPad via midi, so that I can use the Set List Maker/Bandhelper apps to control my guitar effects. It wasn’t clear to me whether this device would receive power from my iPad, so I bought it and tested it out. It works great! I connect my iPad to the device with the firewire cord (included), then plug midi OUT (from iPad) to midi IN (to guitar effect) and it just works. I configure a midi preset in Bandhelper, click the preset, and…
