Alesis iO Dock |
 |
|
I want to buy this as I want to be able to hook instruments up to my iPad and record/mix with it. Does the iO Dock work with BeatMaker 2?
I read a bunch of reviews on Amazon saying that since iOS 5.0, it doesn't work anymore. Is there a fix?
Thanks. _________________ Live simply so that others can simply live. |

Hmm it doesn't seem it's compatible with the new iPad anyway.
Is there another option for me that is iPad 3rd gen compatible? _________________ Live simply so that others can simply live. |

There's the StudioConnect by Griffin. Works with the iPad 2. Don't know about the 3?

Not exactly 'pretty', but I gotta give it to Behringer when it comes to knockin these things out Chinese style!
And I also love the way Behringer always manage to wind up the gear snobs- makes me laugh every time!
thx for the heads up Johan! I'll think I'll wait to.  _________________ ACHTUNG!

I had read somewhere (kvr or muffwigglers, maybe gearslutz) that the Alesis i/o dock wouldn't pass sysex messages thru it's midi port. I can't confirm this as I don't have one, and chances are a user might not need this unless using custom messages to/from an app. Might be something to be concerned about and worth looking into though... _________________ Dave

This seems like pretty cool device. Any price yet? _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

I'm certainly not a gear snob, can't really afford to be, but I've only owned two pieces of Behringer-made equipment. The first was a rack-mounted digital multi-effect thing, it was so noisy I gave it away. The second was/is a Bugera guitar amp. The amp had a known defect from the manufacturer, a mis-speced part on one of the circuit boards. I was unfortunately the third owner, and, athough not expecting it to be fixed out of warranty, I contacted Behringer to see if they would send me the part, which I would gladly pay for. They would not help me at all, no details, nothing.
I did some research, bought the part, took the amp apart, desoldered the crappy part, installed the new part and the amp works fine now.
No more Behringer stuff for me 'though.

I'm not really too happy about the Behringer stuff myself, but how wrong can they go with this iPad interface?
Oh shit....

My little Behringer mixer has lasted me for years. Always reliable. I've also got a tube amp which is great. More power to the budget conscious I say?  _________________ ACHTUNG!

I saw a link (maybe on here?) of a full on mixer that you set your iPad into. Was it made by Behringer? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Does it have MIDI? |

I think the one you're thinking of is by Mackie. The DL1608 _________________ Dave

So, the question I will put again, does the IO Dock work still? With iOS 5.1?? _________________ ACHTUNG!
