Debated buying this for an entire year but watching this sold me. There’s no better guide out there for this unit. Awesome job!
Thanks Joshua! I’m glad I could help!
Super well presented, thanks for taking the time.
EXCELLENT video...thank you so much for your well informed and detailed information.
You touched base on every question I had.
I'll be using this with a PC and Cubase, as a second tier controller for my software to use with my Yamaha Montage.
Thanks again!
Just got mine. I love the key feeling!!!! much better than on my M-Audio Key49 that I had before
I have an M-Audio Keyrig 49 that I bought back around 2010-2012. It's now in it's original packaging, collecting dust.
Continue please more videos about how to learn play it✌🏼🌹❤️
Thank you for the great review! Based on your experience, would you recommend it for orchestration purposes?
your are great... thank you soy mucho... ✌️👽✌️
de nada!
Thanks, Laura. Well done. I'm just wondering why every version of the iRig Keys 2 is on IK Multimedia's CZcams channel EXCEPT the iRig Keys 2 Pro?! I have found several videos on it, including yours, but not a single one is on the IK Multimedia channel. Weird, huh?
Having to hit the same button for the only 4 settings is a downer. We may want to quickly switch from 1 over to 3, but that's a delay if you were going tpo use this in a live performance instead of just editing to create a tune.
These sorts of things keep costs low and keep the interface clean. But certainly, it takes an extra step in a live situation.
Is the built in audio device like an ordinary I/O audio sound card but with no audio input (I) for example for recording guitar? I'm intested in the controller if you can play and record with the keyboard while have low latency "ok" quality sound output in the headphones. Thanks!
I took the chance and purchased it anyway and I can confirm that it does exactly what I wanted and the latency is low.
@@Hanschr1313 Great! Glad that you like it! And to answer your previous question, it does not have (analog) audio in.
@@LauraReynoldsMusic Better late than never :-D. Well it does not have audio inputs but it has the audio I/O from usb so you can use it as a midi keyboard, a soundcard and a headphone amplifier at once. And that is nice.
Can this go through a mixer then to the laptop or ipad?
Thanks very much for your great videos.
I like to connect the urig to my iPad Air and there I like to run the piano sound of „Pure Piano“ in the background while using it for another app witch is called „Staffpad“. A notation app.
Do you think this will work out!
Thanks very much!
Hmmmmm I don't know! The two programs would have to "talk" to each other. There is probably a way to get it to work.
@@LauraReynoldsMusic thanks very much for your reply. All the best for you!
how do i lower volume? i try volume knob doesn't do anything
Hi Laura. I know this video has been posted quite some time ago, so not sure if you will respond, but I will ask and hope for the best! I am 74 years of age never played and instrument of any kind, but wanted to purchase a small 37 keyboard and the Irig keys 2 pro seems perfect. However, I have struggled getting it set up and it certainly has been a challenge for someone who has little knowledge of technical jargon. I am pleased to say that I have now got it set up using the app igrand piano. But one question I have, can you play the keyboard through the iPad only without the need of headphones or external speaker, which would make it easier to set up and play? If you can, could you advise, but can you keep it very simple please? I have enjoyed your video, it’s been very helpful, I just wish I had your knowledge, but at 74 I would be happy to just get the basics right… Many thanks!
Hi....yes, you should be able to use the Irig Keys as a MIDI controller only and not as the audio interface. You might need to just change the audio output device on your iPad.
Open Control Center on your iPhone or iPad.
Touch and hold the audio card in the upper-right corner of Control Center to control audio.
Tap , then choose the device that you want from the list.
@@LauraReynoldsMusic .. Many thanks Laura I will give that a try. Keep safe.. Mel
@@melmoranda07 No problem Mel! Let me know if that works or if you still need help.
@@LauraReynoldsMusic thank you, you are so kind..
How do you assign the knobs??? It’s great saying what they do, but I’m struggling to link them to my MC-101…This MIDI keyboard is a nightmare to learn
Assignment is done in the virtual instrument you are using. Consult your MC-101 manual.
hello! i have a problem and not sure why. I bought the irig keys 2 pro today and i tried to use it and some of the keys doesnt produce sound when i press it. Do you have any idea whats goinf on?
Hi Limbu....it is not a standalone synthesizer. It is a MIDI controller only. See the video for further instructions.
I have the irigkeys 37 but thinking bout the pro with midi but but can I use a power bank to power it so I can just use the midi for my module? kind regards
Yes you can
@@LauraReynoldsMusic thank you
@@Jack-fs2im make sure your power supply delivers enough current (amperage)
@@LauraReynoldsMusic thanx,I,m going,next week, on the train to a place in central london where they have these for demo and sale.Will let you know,thanx again
Cool!@@Jack-fs2im
Mine just isnt even connecting im trying to find a basic tutorial
Can this be used as a synthesizer?
Not by itself.
How do you compare this to Akai LPK 25?
I have not tried the LPK 25.
@@LauraReynoldsMusic Never mind. I am a beginner looking for a MIDI-keyboard. Sorry for my silly question!
@@havefun2952 Not a silly question! I would definitely swing for one with at least 37 keys if you can afford it.
Im having trouble with mine
Get in touch with IK Multimedia support. I'm sure they can help you.
Why so many usb accessories if you can’t even plug them into the controller?
there is a USB port on the back.
@@LauraReynoldsMusic underneath I can’t seem to see anything maybe I need to lightning to USB adapter as well
@@Beloved-ji5jx Lightning to USB cable is included
I cant hearit
it’s just a MIDI controller, not synth. doesn’t make sound on its own.
IK multimedia is absolute trash for support. They can’t run a basic website and no one returns support emails. Hope they go down in flames
