for the ipad you don't need any audio cables for loopy hd, but you need to use the 1/2 out on your kronos to hear the audio output from the ipad (the loops you recorded). This is nessecary because the L/R output is recorded from the kronos in the Ipad. Now if you route the Output of the Ipad to the L/R you would also record the output of the ipad which you don't want obviously

so here's how to set it up:
- connect the ipad to the Kronos
- press the global knob on the kronos
- go to the audio in tab and select 1/2 for USB 1 and USB 2 (panned left and right)
- now connect the Kronos L/R to your audio device and also the the 1/2 outputs to your audio device so that you can hear the merged sounds through your audio device.

That's all you need to do and the fun starts:

- Start Loopy HD on your ipad
- select a sound on your kronos you want to use for the loop
- Press one of the 12 recording buttons to start the loop recording
- play the loop
- then select a new sound on your kronos
- press the next recording button of loopy hd
- play the next part
- etc...

During your recording you will still hear the previous loop you recorded so it's just a matter of adding loops and playing along. Of course you can set any loop to it's own length.

After recording you can export your loops to your ipad or computer DAW, Email, or use them as a source for your sampler or even as oscs in apps like Nave synth. In that case press the share button of your loop and select audio copy and in Nave in the Wave screen press audio bm paste. Then you have created a custom oscillator for your new presets. For instance i use this to copy kronos sounds to nave to create new moving spectral sounds (which you can also use again in loopy hd in your loops if you use audiobus).

It's incredible how powerful an ipad is in a studio setup. Especially the kronos audio camera kit makes it extremely usefull. I'm using it all the time and is a fantastic expansion of the Kronos possibilities.

I've had the idea for a Kronos Editor on the iPad; one which can open windows for a piano roll MIDI score editor for Karma, or basically any function you can think of which can be displayed and edited on the iPad. I have too many ideas to list now off the top of my head. I can do it later after I compile all my ideas. (How often do the Korg developers check these forums? Lol)
