Quick Start
Connecting MIDI DIN Instruments
Connect the MIDI OUT jack of your MIDI instrument to one of the MIDI IN jacks of
iConnectMIDI using a MIDI cable (purchased separately). This will allow iConnectMIDI to
receive MIDI messages from your MIDI instrument. Another MIDI instrument can be connected
in the same way, but using the second MIDI IN jack of iConnectMIDI.
Connect one of the MIDI OUT jacks of iConnectMIDI to the MIDI IN jack of your MIDI
instrument using a MIDI cable. This will allow iConnectMIDI to transmit MIDI messages to your
MIDI instrument. Another MIDI instrument can be connected in the same way, but using the
second MIDI OUT jack of iConnectMIDI.
See USB with MIDI instruments for more advanced MIDI instrument configurations.
Connecting USB MIDI Instruments
Connect the USB instrument to the USB-A jack on the front of iConnectMIDI using a USB cable
with USB connectors (purchased separately). To connect multiple USB instruments, connect
your USB instruments to a USB hub with USB cables, then connect the USB hub to
iConnectMIDI.
Connecting iOS Devices
Connect an iOS device using the included iConnectMIDI cable, with the 30-pin lockable
connector at the iOS device and the mini-USB end at iConnectMIDI. If a second iOS device is
required, a second iConnectMIDI cable is required (purchased separately).
Connecting Computers
Connect a Mac or Windows computer to iConnectMIDI using a USB cable (purchased
separately) with a USB-A connector on one end to the computer and mini-USB connector on
the other end to iConnectMIDI. Up to two computers can be connected to iConnectMIDI in this
way.
Connecting Power
Plug in the small round barrel jack of the power adaptor to the connector labeled 5V DC on the
rear side of iConnectMIDI. Attached the appropriate blade adaptor (included for US, EU, and
UK) to the wall unit by sliding the adaptor into place. Some force is required to properly detach
and attach the blade adaptor. Plug the wall unit into the power outlet. It is recommended that
power be connected only after all MIDI instruments are connected to iConnectMIDI and
switched on.
Running Applications
If an iOS device is connected, start an installed iOS application with CoreMIDI capability on the
device to allow interfacing with your MIDI instruments through iConnectMIDI. The LED indicator
light for a USB device port will momentarily flash at the start of most applications. Begin
playing.
If a computer is connected, start the installed application that allows MIDI ports of
iConnectMIDI to be accessible from the application. The LED indicator light for a USB device
port will momentarily flash at the start of most applications. Begin playing.
