Additional Overview:

• With the plugKEY, a rich selection of iPhone/iPad musical instrument apps such as KORG Module and Apple GarageBand can be played seriously and easily from your keyboard. Just plug the Lightning connector of the plugKEY into your iPhone/iPad, and use a MIDI cable to connect the plugKEY to your keyboard. Because the plugKEY is certified by Apple as "Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad," there are no settings that you need to make. The power is supplied via the Lightning connector, and because it's a wired connection there are no latency issues. The plugKEY is ideal for players who have exacting requirements for tight timing.
• * A MIDI cable is not included; you'll need to purchase it separately.
• For example, if you use the plugKEY to connect an iPad that has KORG iM1 or iPolysix installed, you have your own sound module. You can use it to expand the possibilities of a synthesizer, or take it with you and play your own familiar sounds from any keyboard provided at a rehearsal studio or live venue.
• Take advantage of your iPhone for piano practice. Do you have an old, unused digital piano at home? Use plugKEY to connect your digital piano to an iPhone that has KORG Module installed, and your old digital piano will be reborn with the latest high-quality piano sounds.
• Studio-quality 1/4" jack audio outputs
• The plugKEY provides not only MIDI but also high-quality audio interface functionality for your iPhone/iPad. It features 1/4" jack audio outputs, so you can have confidence that the plugKEY will withstand the rigors of the stage or studio. This means that your iPhone/iPad can evolve into a real musical instrument. There's also a volume knob for smoothly adjusting the volume, as well as a headphone jack (stereo mini-phone).
• * The internal speaker of the iOS device turns off when the plugKEY is connected to an iOS device.
• Use while charging your iOS device
• Since the plugKEY is equipped with a DC5V microUSB port, you can charge your iOS device via the plugKEY. This allows you to use your musical instrument app without worrying about remaining battery life, an important consideration for extended music production sessions, studio rehearsals, or live performances.
• * A microUSB cable is not included; you'll need to purchase it separately.
• * The DC5V port is only for charging, and should not be connected to a computer.
• Compact design can be taken anywhere
• With carefully selected minimum functionality such as MIDI input, audio output, and charging, the plugKEY features a compact design that's similar in size to the iPhone. When connected to your iPhone/iPad and MIDI keyboard, the plugKEY itself will unobtrusively fit anywhere, and can be conveniently carried to the studio or anywhere. You can choose from black and white models to match your iPhone/iPad.
• Free apps that let you start immediately playing and producing music
• So that you can start playing as soon as you purchase the plugKEY, we've provided some great free iOS apps that you can download from the App Store at no charge: "KORG Module Le" is a high-quality sound module app equipped with a pro-level sound library that includes a high-capacity piano sound module, and "KORG Gadget Le" is a music production app that contains numerous synthesizers and drum machines with serious sound design potential. On both of these iOS apps, connecting the plugKEY will unlock a wide variety of sounds and functions, letting you enjoy high-level performance and music production.
