Bluetooth keyboard pairing

in General App Discussion

I just got an Akai LPK25 wireless - I can’t get it to ‘pair’ to my iPad, much less in Audiobus.
Can someone please clue-me-in wtf I’m doing wrong?
Do I need an additional app of some sort to tie it into AB?
Thx.

    Don't know about the LPK25.
    With ROLI Seaboard and Lightpad, you do not go to the iPad settings to pair the devices.
    Turn on Bluetooth on the iPad
    Turn on the MIDI Bluetooth device
    Go to the music app (GarageBand, Animoog and so forth)
    Connect your device using the apps menue point called settings or MIDI settings or the like.

    I don’t own one, but the LPK25 is class compliant, so it should just show up as an available device in your music apps if Bluetooth is enabled on your iPad and the device is turned on (as mentioned above). In Audiobus, if you tap ‘Midi’, then the input ‘+’, the keyboard should show up in the list of available devices.

    Have you successfully used a lightning or usb keyboard with your iPad before?

    First time pairing is done the way AKAI recommends, after that, if you have an app that has no internal Bluetooth menu, you can download the free KORG BLE-MIDI app and re-enable all previously connected BT Midi adaptors. I'm using two mi.1 and the only issue is that they have the same name so sometimes I have to try twice ;)
    On my springboard, BLE-MIDI sits directly next to all apps I'm using BT MIDI with, so I can quickly enable (connect) them before running the music app.

    The Akai BT connects using GarageBands BT feature. It also connects using an app i found called 'midiflow' (which appears to be a competitor to Audiobus(anyone?)). Oddly enough, once i 'connect' it using the 'midiflow', it then also appears (and works) inside of AudioBus, and is also then listed in the iOS BT settings page.
    I attc. a couple pix, one of the ioS BT page (not connected) and the other of the midiflow app 'connected'.
    and again, once connected using 'midiflow', it will later appear in the ioS page - be better to connect in ioS and AB, and not have to depend on the midiflow app.
    Doesn't AB have Bluetooth support? And more importantly, why won't the iOS find it?

    Well, according to this video - the ioS won't show the pairing, evidently it's dependent on the BT feature of the music app you're using. (see vid @ 2:30)

    I hope AB adds support for BT. I bought the wireless Akai to replace my 'wired' Akai cause I was wanting to do live (open-mic) perfs and cut down on cables but need to know it's not gonna fail. Hate depending on a 3rd party app. to get it to work to AB (more apps = more point-of-failure).
