Outboard effects with IPAD and Audio Interface
Hi,
I just purchased my son a Midi Controller with a built in Audio Interface from IK Multimedia. Also known as the IrIg Keys I/O 25. We are just getting started to introduce him to the world of sound creation and to have fun with AudioBus 3 of course:)
I would like to purchase an outboard guitar effect such as a reverb, and use the IPAD with Cubasis as a mini DAW.
Question: How do I connect the reverb guitar box with the midi controller/audio interface (all built in one in the irig) so that I could hear the outboard effect and have ability to effect on or off via guitar box? We don't have a an outboard mixer at the moment.
When you look at the new Irig I/O device on website it has a few images you can look at. It has two outputs for L & R on the back and it has a line/Hi Z input etc where you can connect a microphone.
Forgot to mention - the Irig I/O has headphone output, that's what we will use vs monitors for now.
Any help will be appreciated.

you most likely do not want outboard gear... ios has amazing and cheap fx apps which are easy to use. start with virsyn audioeffx.
I wrote a whole thing, singing the praises of using pedals with the ipad, but I read what the OP wrote better, and have to agree- you should try using the ios reverb effects first, before embarking on a complex hardware setup. I highly recommend Altispace. One of the reasons is simple- you only have headphones, so there is no way to use the headphone jack on your combo controller/interface, and hear your effects.
Altispace is a convolution reverb, the most realistic type of reverb processing, and sounds better than my hardware (algorthmic) reverbs- pedals, rack units, onboard reverb in mixers. Even the spring sounds 95% as splashy and exciting as real spring reverb.
Recording your ios stuff through outboard effects, back on the ipad, is a headscratcher- you most likely need a 4 input, 4 output audio interface to run your app out to your effects, with a secondary output, and back in, and be able to hear what you're doing out of the primary output. That would be a case for using ios effects, in the box, much easier to deal with.
True but they don‘t sound really good compared to a BigSky or some plug-ins.
For the price they are O.K. indeed.
I don't have that iRig Keys so I'm not sure if this will work but...
