Connecting X6 to iPad Air 3
Connecting X6 to iPad Air 3
Anyone using their Fantom X to connect to the new iPad Air 3’s? I tried using the Edirol UM -1SX that I had used with iMacs and Windows (incl 10) but nothing with the USB to Camera 3 and this new iPad.
Re: Connecting X6 to iPad Air 3
Well got the UM-1SX working but have quite a bit of note dropouts using GarageBand’s Brass Ensemble. The issue was I needed to plug the power into the adapter without it couldn’t power the UM. More research to do to rid the dropouts. I am hoping to bring the iPad loaded with Heavy Brass, iSymphony and Galileo using either the X6 as controller.
Re: Connecting X6 to iPad Air 3
Seems only to drop notes when in Performance mode where. If select ie. Symphonica patch and GBand Brass Ensemble there are no notes dropping. I have read that this can be an issue using GBand - have had it for 15 yrs just never used it on my Macs before. I will likely get AUM and then see how Heavy Brass, Galileo & iSymphony make out along with some Performances on the X6.
Re: Connecting X6 to iPad Air 3
Must be a polyphony issue with the X6 performances that I setup and the the iPad strings/orchestra/brass ensemble patches. The ep’s, organ, basses are fine. Will just have to scale back on the Performances that I setup. Waiting for IOS 13 to arrive as I understand it will impact some of the IOS music apps so I have only added a few apps that were free (Viking & Synth One). I am liking much of what I hear with many of the IOS apps so much so that I’ll be selling 2 JD990’s (Keys & Vintage cards), JO8080 (maybe) and pick up either a Mojo 61, Legend Solo or Sk1. Using the clonewheel and iPad for jam sessions. I’ll keep the X6 and Juno 60 to go with the clonewheel.
A/B’d the Mojo 61/Sk1/VR730 last week in a music store. I ranked the Mojo 1st, Sk1 2nd and VR 730 3rd.

Bought new higher quality heavier duty cables (1/8 to 1/4’s mono) fixed all issues. The cables I had were cheap hosa ones that I’d had for quite a few years. Will still likely buy an audio midi interface once I pick up either a Roli or K Board Pro 4. The 2 JD 990’s, JP 8080 and Radias are not long for the studio. 90% of my commercial work is using East West, Omnisphere etc with the Mini D, Juno 60 and Prophet 08 making guest appearances. I’ll keep the X6 for awhile until a Mojo 61 or Legend Solo becomes available.
