Hi, having no experience at all with ipads, can someone help me with the models and generations that work or don't work with the kronos remote app please?

thank you.

Seems iPad 3 or better should work, but the newer the model the better as Apple will cripple your older iPads. Given you have an expensive keyboard, try to get a recent model of iPad, last years or the previous should be fine.

More details here?

Hi thanks for the reply, is that model actually called 'ipad 3' or is it something to do with '3rd generation'? i'm very confused as to which is which and was made when.

thank you.

ps never used an ipad in my life so genuinely confused about all these different models.

Yes, you are correct in both of your assertions “3” references the generation and a 2021 iPad would be perfectly fine. If you wanted to get super fancy, you can go with a iPad Pro version for a larger view/screen.

Hope this helps. I could even walk you through the setup via Teams or Zoom, if that interests you.

Hi, thanks for that. not sure i want too big a screen as the ipad will be positioned on the kronos similar to how it was shown in the videos of the remote display tutorials in a previous thread.

sorry to be so clueless but what is the name of the pro version of 2021 ipad?

thanks very much.

oof, bit too much that. if i had a bit more cash i would, i have an m1 mac pro, and m2 mac air, and seriously, those two chips are a massive overkill. the ipad just has to show the kronos screen, dont need it for anything else.

thanks for helping me clarify things

Yea it is overkill for your needs, and who knows, the next flagship keyboard may have a much cleaner way to connect an external display.

how do you charge the ipad (with lightning port) while plugged into the kronos?

I've been using a 2017 iPad Pro for a couple years now.
It was $300 used, and is plenty powerful.
That model is the last one to include a headphone jack.

It should be plenty powerful for the remote display app.

Another bonus is it's good enough for running PianoTeq on it.

It's ideal using an iPad with a Kronos.
Just plug it into the USB port and it's automatically recognized.
Then you can use the Control Surface audio sliders to adjust iPad volume.
It recognizes the Kronos MIDI, and you can have multiple apps running.
Soft synths, youtube for learning covers, sheet music apps, etc.

Are you asking if this 512 character limit is on the iPad app or the Kronos? Regarding the other noted items, given the iPad is only simulating the Kronos' screen, you'll be very limited in what you can do compared to using the Kronos interface.
