Known problems:
- In iOS 7 there is a function called "Multitasking ...". Please set the switch to OFF (in iPad, Settings, General). If you don't do that, playing with multiple fingers does not work correctly!
- Holding down e.g. two buttons on the bass side a long time while playing multiple notes together on the melody side, makes the iPad playing himself unwanted notes. Try to rotate the iPad (180°) to minimize the problem. When the iPad is connected to the Mac (lightning cable) this effect did not happen. This is an iPad touch screen problem.
- Important note if the "MIDI In" does not work (iOS < 8):
After changes in the iOS 6 update, it appears that when you launch a new App that uses MIDI, the MIDI device will fall offline, and the only way to reset the connection is to unplug the MIDI device and reconnect while the new App is open.
- With iOS 8: When the MIDI device (like iRig MIDI) is not detected, please unplug the MIDI device, switch the iPhone/iPad/iPod completely OFF, then switch it ON and plug in the MIDI device.
