Hi

I now have an iPad Air 128 gig, and wanted to know what kits you are using for the "air" version of the ipad? I have a "non apple official" 3 in in one camera connection kit (sd card, USB and mini sd card) but when I connected it to Kronos, and loaded up ipolysix and ims-20, it crashed my ipad (it is USB A on Kronos isn't it and not the D connector?) and kept rebooting. It DID work for a time, but now it doesn't work at all, not even the sd card on the ipad (blew it?).

Is there a standard connection kit that you can use on the iPad Air, as some I read work for ipad 4, but not air, and iPhone 5s.

This is one of those things that unfortunately keeps cropping up as manufacturers keep releasing new CCKs leading the rest of us to believe that they finally nailed it and aren't making crap anymore. The honest answer is that the official Apple Camera Connection Kits are the only ones your can trust at all and using an off-brand one is like playing the lottery. I wish it wasn't so but it is.

The other thing is to get one from a major retailer if you don't have an Apple store near you because, oddly enough, there are rare cases of counterfeit accessories on the market. Never could figure out why a device makes people do crazy crap, like people do crazy crap for crack.

Cheers steinberger.

I'll have a look at the official apple one then. It was good whilst working though.

I've got a CCK now and works fine. However I was wondering if the korg ipolysix (and ms20) responds to sustain pedal
From Kronos. It doesn't seem to but other apps do.
