Hey @troxx , i’ll try to answer your questions:
Status: it’s complicated, see:
- Anyone using external controller to play the Tracker mini
- Sending USB MIDI to Tracker Mini via iPhone
- USB MIDI with Android
- USB MIDI unavailable (possible host/client issue or Android 13)
There is even someone attempting to use the exact keyboard you mention to no avail.
Current consensus seems to be:
- USB MIDI works directly for newer iPads/iPhones and some Android devices
- USB MIDI can generally be achieved by using a USB Host in between (for example: Kenton Midi USB Host).
- Use TRS MIDI if you don’t want any headache
There is an open wish that is ready to accept votes for synths to make its way to the Mini:
Considering that Polyend has approved this wish, i’d say chance are pretty good?
