[Solved] BLE MIDI connects to original iPad Air but not original iPad Mini 2

edited January 6 in Hardware

The original iPad Air and iPad Mini 2 are essentially the same internally (and both have Bluetooth 4.0 which supports BLE MIDI), but my BLE MIDI controller will only connect to the Air. I'm trying both the device's dedicated connection app and the Korg BLE MIDI utility.

It's my first BLE MIDI controller so I want to figure out if I'm doing something wrong or the Mini is just acting up. The controller connects to iPhone, newer iPad, Chromebook, and Mac so I doubt it's that. Just that balky Mini 2.

Thanks

    You may need to Disconnect it from the other device, in Settings. Or close the other app to which it is connected.

    Yes - I often run into the same problem.

    Do as @Uncledave suggest and remember that that there is no logic in the behaviour. My MacBook and iPhone understand the switch, but not my iPad mini.

    So disconnect and “forget” every item except the one you are working on. A restart afterwards will help if the problem resists.

    I restarted the iPad and it works as expected. That iPad is mostly now used to adjust the volume of my mother's hearing aids that connect with Bluetooth so I knew the Bluetooth was working, and both devices are able to be connected at the same time since, funny story, after I got it connected I fired up FL Mobile but didn't hear anything when I played the controller, but my mother suddenly said, "What's that sound?!?" It was playing into her hearing aids. Whoops.

    Restarting fixed it.

    Thanks, everyone (I've only been futzing with computerz for ~45 years and I didn't try a reboot? Sheesh...).
