It is exactly what I had hoped for: a way to turn my iPad into a portable recording device. Just having this thing has unlocked a new level of creativity in me that I didn't even know existed.

I can't wait to see what happens when I start plugging in a real guitar and vocal mic!March 29, 2012 Music Background: Semi-pro folk singer, church band performer, 40+ years of trying to get good on guitar. ;-) The iO Dock is really easy and straightforward to use. I do recommend doing the firmware upgrade. You can find info about that in Sweetwater's support page, or at the Alesis website. The upgrade cleared up a couple of little ghostly type things that were going wrong with GB. Also, do you really need to go buy a new MIDI controller? I bought a couple of MIDI cables and plugged in an old Yamaha PSR-series portable keyboard that we had sitting around for our kids to bang on and it works great. Alesis has a winner on their hands with this device. And you definitely want to buy yours from Sweetwater, because their service and support are better than any other online dealer I've ever used. close [-] Sweet

Plugging my MOTIF XS-Rack into the iODocks MIDI out, I was able to play sequences from both FL Studio & Music Studio (GarageBand like the Mac version can only record MIDI, they will not send MIDI to external devices....FAIL on Apple).June 27, 2011 Music Background: Hobbyist, Podcaster I also was able to plug in my XLR mic with phantom power & record audio using GarageBand. Everything works great, I think my PreSonus Firepod is going on EBay, I just don't need it anymore. Thank you Andrew!! close [-] ioDock
