The iRig Keys I/O was designed so that it can be immediately put to use, simply by connecting one cable to whatever device you're using. Maybe it's something we take for granted, but we thought this was VERY useful! Also, since it comes bundled with a stand just for iOS devices, it's almost like having a custom music stand that mates the instrument with the display. But if you connect the iRig Keys I/O to an iOS device, you don't have to worry about that problem anymore. Without an adapter cable, you can't use ear/headphones with a standard mini-jack. Having this means you can just plug in your everyday earphones right here and you're good. Newer iOS devices are no longer equipped with these jacks, having been switched to lightning connectors only. The iRig Keys I/O is compatible with both personal computers and iOS devices, and it fulfills all the requirements for music production as far as spec and functionality go, making it a true all-in-one product.Ī surprisingly useful feature we found, and one that is sort of taken for granted on any audio interface, is having a mini-jack for the headphone output. With this many connections, no matter what kind of user, we doubt anyone will be left wanting. Thanks to having an internal pre-amp you can also use condenser microphones.Īs you can see, the iRig Keys I/O has all the inputs and outputs you need to put it to use as a proper audio interface.

Phantom power for when connecting a mic to the INPUT. Multi-jack for anything from an XLR microphone to a keyboard or guitar. Let's take a look at the rear panel.įor connection to iOS devices via bundled lightning cableġ/8' stereo headphone jack.

The bottom line is that the iRig Keys I/O is, as the name implies, an audio interface in addition to being a full-featured controller keyboard. On our Demo & Review video, we use the Touch Setting knob to control the cutoff, resonance and filter EG parameters. What's more, both 25- and 49-key models are designed amazingly well, come with the same number of controls, are very lightweight, and thanks to being compact don't take up space.
