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?
iPhone 4, iOS 5

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
Nice! Thank you for providing a solution! I'm going to buy it next week and I'm looking forward to test it out.
Q.: Is it possible to use the drum, synth 1..2..3 program and octave keys in GB when using MidiBridge?
Hi Nic
I have more questions..
Is it possible to reset midibrigde to it's original settings?
Why does midibridge appear twice (midibridge2) ? I realy didn't do anything it just suddenly appeared. I had to reinstall Midibridge again because I did't know how to connect SS25 to GB the previous method didn't work.
thanks in advance
regards

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!
😝

First- awesome app! Thanks. However- I am having trouble connect
Ting my SS25 to an iPad. I have the I extender chord connected. The SS25 does not appear on the left side when plugged in/ turned on in Midi bridge... Just the basic two. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help.
I do see 2 ports on each side. The cable seems correct too. I can get it to a point where I get audio out through the SS25 when played directly on the iPad , but I cannot get connectivity so when I hit keys on the ss25 it controls the iPad. Maybe I'm missing something in the settings? Sorry to bother and thank you for the help.
Yes, I'd love to see this as well. It would be excellent to play the Garageband instruments from a real physical keyboard.
Yes please! This would be a great combination, GarageBand for iOS and Akai SynthStation 25!
I would like this option of Synthstaion25 n GarageBand too!
I would love to see this too. The Akai Synthstation25 has become a valuable piece of equipment for me.

Uh...we're the end users wanting this - not app developers ya know.
Great info... for Apple developers. Now they have approximately zero excuses for not having support, since joeyfromlier kindly did the research for them. Let's see it!
Hi
Great..
I just downloaded te app but I don't know how to connect the SS to GB.
How did you do it?
grtz
Hi Nic
I don't know how to connect the SS25 to GB with midibridge. Can you tell me what I should do?
kind regards
Joey
> Maybe Andy could chime in
Ding Dong 😉
I've just repeated what Nic recommended and it works. I didn't need to fiddle with GB set-up at all.
