In this video, I use an AKAI MPK MINI to connect it to garageband IOS.
I give a short demonstration of live looping.
TO CONNECT AN AKAI MPK TO GARAGEBAND :
You need:
an iPhone
a midi to usb cable
an AKAI MPK
a USBC computer charging cable
an external battery (powerbank or even a normal charger, plugged into an outlet)
un lightning to USB3 adaptator :

How to proceed :
1. Connect the adapter to the iPhone
2. Insert the charging cable with the USBC end into the slot provided.
3. Check that the phone indicates that it is in charging mode. (The charger actually powers the AKAI when we plug it in later).
3. Connect the midi cable to the AKAI and the USB end to the adapter in the input provided.
4. The iPhone may send a message saying that the AKAI can't be used because it requires too much power. In this case, click on "OK" and see if it works. If some of the AKAI's buttons turn green or red, it's connected and working.
If it doesn't work, try again a few times and make sure you have at least sixty percent battery power before using it. It all depends on the power of the phone itself.
IF IT STILL DOESN'T WORK OR IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION: write a comment, I'll reply quickly and help you with pleasure!
