KORG plugKEY iOS Audio/MIDI Interface

I needed a midi controller that would allow me to connect my malletKAT with my iPad or iPhone. I just received so I can't speak to durability yet but I was able to take it out of the box and start playing in about five minutes. It is perfect for what I need. I love that it has 1/4 inch outputs that go straight to a speaker and a 3.5 mm headphone jack when I want to play and hear myself without bothering anyone else in the house. I was using the iRig Pro I/O Portable Audio/MIDI for iOS, USB but the skirt is much easier to use and doesn't have as many cables or connections. Also the iRig does not have the 1/4 inch cable output to run to a speaker, so you can only run the sound through the 3.5 mm output, which was a pain. Lastly, I love the volume control on the Korg as well that allows you to control how loud or soft the sound comes out of either your speaker or headset. This is a must!

Great product!!! So many great IOS synths right now. I can sample them with my MPC live. This product is just what I needed.

All Around, Love This Product! I got 2 of these, one for my iPad for my go to main usage! And one for my iPhone as a back up. Studio, Live. You can even use it for playing music in your car! Awesome product. Again my only con would be, that Korg needs to add an Audio Line In-(Via Mono and Stereo Options), for when you want to directly record into your smart/portable device, for tracking, or sharing Social Media Live. But besides that. That's it. Good job Thus Far Korg!

I venturing out now in plugins and musical apps. And since this is way more portable via hooking it up using your iPhone or iPad, versus lugging around another board or heavy keyboard rack. You just plug it up with the necessary cords and power supply and your ready to roll! Love it!

Well first of all the thing is a 100 bux which is pricey considering the fact that it basically serves 1 function, connecting a keyboard to the new iPhone that so conveniently has no headphone jack, anyway, the Plugkey even performs this function poorly as it uses a 5 pin midi connector...not USB. As one will notice many keyboards in 2017 connect via USB so u will not only likely need to buy a keyboard w/ a 5 pin midi connection but that keyboard is also likely to be old and outdated. This is not a minor gripe considering the cost of the Plugkey and that it is wrongly advertised as state of the art. Also about 2 months in the midi connection stopped working I replaced the chord and tested the keyboard with other equipment and all is well... except the Plugkey. I reached out to Korg but haven't heard anything. The IPhone connection issue is a frustrating one but the Plugkey is not the solution for 100 there are much better options.
