AKAI Synthstation 25?

I would love to be able to use my AKAI Synthstation 25 with Garage Band... any idea if there will be external device support in the near future?

I'll post this on KVR also, but here is my step-by-step sure fire recipe for getting the SS25 to work with GarageBand via MidiBridge (order is important):


1. Reboot the device to ensure starting from clean slate


2. Start MidiBridge first


3. In MidiBridge, connect 'Akai SS25 Kb' on left to 'MidiBridge' on right. Remove any other connections.


4. On MidiBridge Preferences page change 'Run in Background' to 'On' if not already set.


5. Press Home button and start GarageBand


GarageBand should now respond to SynthStation25

Nic from Audeonic Apps:


I downloaded your software and IT WORKS!!! YAY! Not only for me but my 13 year old daughter who plays multiple instruments that I've been helping learn to record using her Akai SS25 I got her for xmas this year. NOw she can use Garageband, then export to her iMac and further work on files, record her bass through the new fender bass amp (Bronco 40) with USB and then she can export to me using Logic Pro 9 and we can do vocals and more!


This has really opened up quite the world to us! THANK YOU for doing what Apple did not put natively into their own software!
