Great video! I used most of this setup for the first time this past Sunday. Already had the Keystation 88 and the iPad mini. Downloaded the MKSensation app. Great piano/string/pad sounds. Now I don't have to lug my Yamaha MOX8 around every Sunday. Thanks for sharing your tips and setups. God Bless! Brent
This is the best thing I've ever tryed, and bro, I am super satisfied. I don't have to lug my big Roland juno stage around anymore and our MoX8 and Mo6 stays at church. Triton pro X at home but my Ipad Air 2 and Nektar controller and two Ev powered speakers always on the fly whenever I'm on the go. Thanks Man.
Man John Mike! You've been poppin' up regularly in my recent "gear acquisition syndrome" wormholes on the TH-cam homie. That rig setup right there ticks all the boxes for me. Cheap as chips, lightweight, independent monitoring control. That's pretty dang slick I must say. You actually turned me on to the MidiPlus AKM320 I ordered the very day I fried my M-audio Oxygen 25. Man, I've been playing multiple instrument self taught for 30+ years, but have only just recently within the past 3 years now fully discovered & embraced the endless potential of what midi keys and controllers are capable of. Piano was never my strong point at all, and I come from a completely different musical background, but I'm being real honest with you, I finally downloaded the free LABS sample packs from Spitfire Audio last night, loaded up a couple of cinematic instrument tracks set to click in Reaper?! Dude, my little John Williams wanna be self didn't go to bed till 5 am!! LMAO! It's an inspiring thing. Anyway, this comment is getting thick. Thanks for all you do, and for keeping it real Mike! I think you just now sold me on a new 61 key in a prior video. Stay safe & well my dude.
That was the thing for me, when I was young, I could carry around all that gear now that I’m older, those days are over. Portable is where it’s at, my nectar GX 61 and my iPad Air 2 and powered speaker and I’m good to go
John Mike, thanks for all of your great videos. Can you do an updated version of this video? It is very helpful; but I wonder if what iPad recommendations you would have for 2023. I notice that you recommended the Prime & imaschine software for backing tracks. Would that be your recommendation for backing tracks in a live (small) church service when there is no drummer or as a compliment to a drummer? To be able to, in real time, adjust the tempo of a shout track and so on? That would be a very helpful video.
Can’t believe I hadn’t found this before. Got a Nektar GX61 last year after I had to switch from bass to keys and been using GarageBand since, but your rig is really solid. Thanks for the video!
Hey man, I use this rig a lot at my own church it works really well for me, I use it when my Mac shuts down or someone else use the Mac, and it hasn't let me down yet:)
thank you bro I m a worship leader at my church and it just me the piano player and a drummer this will for sure change things thank you God Bless you.
This one I sat down at was a Yamaha DXG 640. I just showed up to play with my ipad, USB cable, MKSensation, and Prime, and plugged into their system. it plugged and played for me fine. volume on the keyboard was turned all the way down.
Decarius Spells if you want more tactile control then you're going to want to get either a midi board(I have a necktar impact 61) with assignable knobs and faders...or you are going to need to get a portable Midi control surface like a korg nano-control or a akai lpd 8...in which case you will also need to get a USB hub to plug up both your board and your control surface
This is great ^_^ I've been looking for a video on things like this I'm a piano player at my church as well and I wanted to do something different and this is going to work just fine thank you very much may god open doors for you ^_^
update! i went out and bought an iPad and downloaded loops. Today was awesome. Eventhough I have a bass, lead, and drummer, the stems helped enhance our sound. The click track was good with keeping our tempos locked. And guess what? Guitar player going to be out of time. it's cool. turn the guitar stem on!
That’s one thing I like about loops, before Covid, we had a full band, after Covid, it’s just myself on keys and my drummer, And sometimes on Wednesdays it’s just me. Loops makes it sounds just like it used to be when we were a full band.
Hey John Mike, great video. I notice this was from 2015 do you have any suggestion for what you can use now?. I am new to this and not to up to date on electronics so I need something real simple. as a matter of fact I am just learning to play the keyboard so am learning. Am 60 so!!!Thanks for your help.
+Betty Cabral pretty much the same thing...I use my MacBook sometimes as well...I switch between them both based on what I need...I have a more recent video where I talk about "A great controller under $300" that shows my most recent setup...but my MacBook and iPad are still at the center of my rig
Blessings awesome video.with the prime app how do u run the click and cues tracks to only your musicians ears and not to the front of the house? Say using this same rig I got set up?
@@marianosax I've learned how.u can do 2 ways use a small analog mixer say 2 -6 chanel and use a male dual xlr split to 1/8 inch cable from your tablet to 2 xlr channels on the mixer.then u will send a 1/4 inch patch cable from the "aux send jack on the mixer to a DI box .then conect xlr on the other end of DI box to the snake that will go to the house.one chanel on your small mixer will be click lower the aux send knob all the way so u only hear it in your ears.the second chanel will be the loop your sending to front of the house that one u will give the aux send knob volume to the front of the house.and the main for each chanel u will turn up as well.also make sure aux to main button is pressed in and main to aux button isnt..the other way is much easier .u need 2 DI boxes and a dual 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch cable. 1/8 inch goes to tablet or iPhone the dual 1/4 go one to each DI box.then 2 xlr from each DI box to 2 empty channels on the snake. The audio engineer will have to send the 1 click chanel to in ear monitors and the other chanel for front of the house
The subscription aspect of the Loop Community Prime app makes it undesirable for me, as it seems that you may only upload stems if you’re subscribing - correct? Do you know of any other similar iPad apps that don’t require a subscription to load up your own full stem tracks?
What up bro I just download mk sensation extreme should I go to the music store and they can help me rig from my Mac air to keyboard?? Im All new to this.
Hey John, Thanks . A few more questions, my church has a Kurzweil, I think its a ps 88 I believe. it an older model and I have a mm6 do you think I still need to get a controller or would one of these work. What about using this through an keyboard am and then send out to the main board? Am using a power speaker as an amp but the sound is not to good. I know am asking a lot of questions. Thanks
Hi John. Just bought an m audio controller to use with my ipad as well. But the thing is I have hard time mapping the sliders/knobs to use with the controls on my ipad. Any ideas? Thanks man.
Hello, I have a problem of dynamic on my M-AUDIO KEYSTATION88 MKII. The black keys are much more sensitive than the black keys. This boring problem is experienced by many people on the net. Have you noticed the same problem? Do you know the solution to this problem? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE ALAIN - ANGERS - FRANCE
Just track and audio...I currently have the singers in via another channel ran in from and aux channel from the church mix board...I have videos on my new setup coming soon
Hey John Mike, I'm trying to simplify my question but it may not work lol...How do you get the guide/cues tracks to your singers for direction when using stems in the PRIME app with this setup? It seems like only you and your drummer gets them. Do the singers just have the direction pre-mapped for them?
Hey man nice video! with the programs you use, are you able to transpose? Also, the organ is a big thing and Garage Band has a nice one with the switch. Do any of those programs have something similar. Thanks for your time in advance man.
+BroJona you can do that from your controller or keyboard and the software will adjust...check out Galileo Organ...sounds a lot better than the GarageBand one in my opinion...and it has the Leslie switch and a ton of tweakable parameters
Yep, Galileo is fire, I started with the GarageBand Organ too since Our old C3 Organ give up the ghost. But for keys strings and pads, MKSENSATION Is the way to go but there are other greats out there as well. Ravenscroft has beautiful pianos, it’s best to go and explore.
+Gospel Multitracks wow thanks. I have one more question. I want to use main stage but I'm running in to sound issues. Would a audio interface be the solution I need?
I ran into an issue last night. First time using the app. I don't know how to: 1. turn the WHOLE THING DOWN without fumbling with the side of the Ipad, which is nearly impossible on the fly. is there an on-board way to adjust the volume up or down in this app down globally? one slider at a time isn't working well. 2. Guy sat down to play for his group and asked me where the transpose button was.... Is there one? Thanks, I'll need to play it again tonight....
No it doesn't my keystation is powered by the iPad...battery life is excellent...I use it all the way though two 2-hour services(4-hours of continuous usage and still have about 60% battery left after church
Amazing, how much space does it take from your iPad/iPhone? Also would you recommend another app to get a good piano sound? Or is mk good enough? Thank you
I'm running iMPC & MkSen simultaneously. The MkSen is acting as a trigger to the MPC app. Certain lets starting the loop/recoding a loop. How do I disable that!?
Awesome, awesome, awesome! SIMPLE works! Thank you for sharing this WEALTH of information. And may our God return His favor unto you manifold times. Amen.
hey john, if im using ipad to run mk sensation and prime at the same time and I wanted only the mk sensation to come out my piano amp and wanted only the stems to go out to the house, how would I do that?
Bashanvibe perfectly...really how many notes you have in a chord doesn't matter...I use this setup just about every Sunday...and I'm not a beginner lol...I play pretty big voicings no issues
+John Mike Hey, for the midi controller, is it regular size keys? Where I live they only have micro keys like the Korg 61 micro keys. Just for reference.
Hey John do you know if it's possible to run a keyboard controller with mksensation and a apcmini for prime app all from the iPad at the same time .. if so would u simply just use a usb hub
Hey John one more question how have you managed to balance between you playing the iPad and the drummer being able to here the click track with out you being to loud while playing keys since they both coming from the same source
+Brandon no magic tricks...just trial and error...in my case my drummer actually prefers to hear the whole mix in his ears...in an ideal situation you would have more separation (using a multioutput interface) for the drummer to have his own submix
I got an Ipad pro with the USB C , and I am really confused about what I need and what I dont as far as Live rig situation , I have an Sub Mixer with balanced outputs that I can connect to , My question is : Do I really need a DI Box AND ! An Audio interface ??? and if Yes , why ?? I'll mostly be using it for Live performance and occasional midi recording ( NO or minimal Audio ) Not looking forward to spend more money to be Honest , but If I have to , then I will ... Thank you All !
@@Johnmike What would be the minimum amount of accessories I need to get the controller operational including types of cable hookups? I just ordered this keyboard controller and don't have any experience with it. Thanks John.
@@Johnmike okay I thought you had it playing in the background. I haven't been able to get any other midi software to work in the background :(. I have tried iGrand and Korg
Whats good man? If im running mksensation and another app with a bass on it is there any way while having the bass split , can i have the bass not hold while im.holding the sustain pedal....?
@@Johnmike i have i fretless , sampletank, and 16I bass. Like this morning for church im taking my 49 m-audio key but im using my roland 61key just for the bass ....
Check out an app called AUM it’s a music app host that lets you load all of your music apps in one app...you can filter things out like sustain pedal and all that

Hi
What’s the headphone amp you mentioned at 2.08?
Is that an audio interface ? Or more similar to a behringer mx400 mixer ?
This is great ^_^ I've been looking for a video on things like this I'm a piano player at my church as well and I wanted to do something different and this is going to work just fine thank you very much may god open doors for you ^_^
Great walkthrough, thanks. Saw you at International Musician's Summit! 😀
Awesome content. Is there anything like this for solo guitar worship leading?
Is there an update to this video?
Yoooooo! This is crazy! I'm getting this ASAP! I'm about to play like 10% of the time on Sunday. :-)

I have the same headphone amp. Cool way of using it. MK sensations is a great app too. Check out the AUM app . It’s a super mixer.
Do you need to have a power cable for the amp? I was wanting to get one and wasn’t sure if I should get the one with the power adapter
Did you ever get that Melo audio midi controller to work with prime ?
What song were you playing on the multitrack? And where can I get it?
Great Video. I am running MKSensation and Prime but I can't play them both together. What setting am I missing please?

Yep, Galileo is fire, I started with the GarageBand Organ too since Our old C3 Organ give up the ghost. But for keys strings and pads, MKSENSATION Is the way to go but there are other greats out there as well. Ravenscroft has beautiful pianos, it’s best to go and explore.
How do you Power the Midi Controller ?
+Moy Solorzano its powered via USB by the iPad
Great video! I'm thinking about using a setup like yours at church. How do the keys feel on that board? Do they have any weight to them?
No they are semi weighted
Hello,
I'm using MKSensation with a midi keyboard (M Audio Axiom Air). I would like to ask how you setup presets on the app? Thank you.
Manny
Excellent video John, where can I get that headphone amp from?
Thanks the link should be in the description of this video
John Mike I have a question for you
Thanks John Mike! I'm a great fan of this method. I've been using Korg Module and Prime, but I definitely will checkout MKSensation!
MK sensation is fire, it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Now even better is the MKSensation extreme, you gotta check that out.
Do I need ableton or can I just use mk sensation xtreme?
Hey Mike,
Are you using an interface with the Ipad to get better sound or is everything running direct to speaker?
Everything is running from the headphone out to my small headphone amp to the house and to our headphones from there
Sorry commented from the wrong TH-cam account lol but it's still me!
+Gospel Multitracks wow thanks. I have one more question. I want to use main stage but I'm running in to sound issues. Would a audio interface be the solution I need?
+Jonathan Jones what are the sound issues you are having?
I ran into an issue last night. First time using the app. I don't know how to:
1. turn the WHOLE THING DOWN without fumbling with the side of the Ipad, which is nearly impossible on the fly. is there an on-board way to adjust the volume up or down in this app down globally? one slider at a time isn't working well.
2. Guy sat down to play for his group and asked me where the transpose button was.... Is there one?
Thanks, I'll need to play it again tonight....
+Decarius Spells what keyboard are you using??
Decarius Spells if you get a nano controller or something you could map the master control on the Prime app
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
what is the name of the first app? Thank you
Albert Martinez Loop Community prime
Hi, how do you manage the power supply of the IPAD, does the IPAD be charged from the M-audio keystation trough the camera kit...?
No it doesn't my keystation is powered by the iPad...battery life is excellent...I use it all the way though two 2-hour services(4-hours of continuous usage and still have about 60% battery left after church
Hey JM
My MK Sensation sometimes cuts the sound when playing, anything I may be doing wrong or settings I may need to apply?
Amazing, how much space does it take from your iPad/iPhone? Also would you recommend another app to get a good piano sound? Or is mk good enough? Thank you
Not that much and MK is a great solution also check out ravenscroft piano
There is one also which SampleTank
would the faders on the motif work to control the mixer in the app?
I'm running iMPC & MkSen simultaneously. The MkSen is acting as a trigger to the MPC app. Certain lets starting the loop/recoding a loop. How do I disable that!?
Try putting your midi controller and the MKsensation app on a different midi channel
Put them on both on the same midi channel...any channel besides channel 1
very clean and accurate
Do you need extra power source (AC/DC adapter) to power the keyboard?
I don't think you can just use the USB power from your iPad, can you?
Thank,
USB power from iPad works just fine
Hon. SIR,
Which i pad connecor are you using to plug the M audio to ipad?
Link is in the description of the video...it says apple USB adapter
Hey John Mike on your iPad what GB are on it and how much software do you have on it .
32gb and quite a bit
Which Ipad do you prefer and how much gb to run your setup?
Awesome, awesome, awesome! SIMPLE works! Thank you for sharing this WEALTH of information. And may our God return His favor unto you manifold times. Amen.
Can you change the latency?
Is the presets on the iOS 9 update. It's not on my version of mks.
No...you have to add the presets yourself
does the iPad charge while connected to the midi board? Also whats that connector called?
Thank you
There is a new connection kit that Apple have come out with that has a lighting charge port Along with the usb
Hey John Mike, do you need a M- Audio or Midid keyboard to use this app or can you use a regalia keyboard with the USB
+Chris Collier any keyboard with a USB
John Mike thank you sir I love your videos
hey john, if im using ipad to run mk sensation and prime at the same time and I wanted only the mk sensation to come out my piano amp and wanted only the stems to go out to the house, how would I do that?
+MrMusicgenius currently isn't a way to do that...at least not that I can think of
+John Mike ok maybe if I use a laptop and use 2 audio interfaces it might work
How do you do a midi unlearn in this app? I made a mistake and assigned #5 the power grand to the sustained pedal and it's driving me crazy
+Tyrone Crawford not sure...you can always try deleting the app and reinstalling it
Or you try the restore to purchase option.
My only concern is when you play large chords how does it handle it
Bashanvibe perfectly...really how many notes you have in a chord doesn't matter...I use this setup just about every Sunday...and I'm not a beginner lol...I play pretty big voicings no issues
Great video sir
How is the iPad powered while using the Camera Connection Kit?
I have the new one with the charging port built in
Is there a Bluetooth adapter for the signal of the ipad to work without delay or simply work?
Not sure what you mean....I'm not using Bluetooth in this video
+John Mike os justo that i once tried using Bluetooth and by itself doesn't work so well. Just to know if you were aware of any that might work.
+John Mike Hey, for the midi controller, is it regular size keys? Where I live they only have micro keys like the Korg 61 micro keys. Just for reference.
+Eru87 they are a tad bit thinner than full sized keys...just a tiny bit not much enough to notice tho
Hey John do you know if it's possible to run a keyboard controller with mksensation and a apcmini for prime app all from the iPad at the same time .. if so would u simply just use a usb hub
Yup you just need a hub
Awesome thanks
Hey John one more question how have you managed to balance between you playing the iPad and the drummer being able to here the click track with out you being to loud while playing keys since they both coming from the same source
+Brandon no magic tricks...just trial and error...in my case my drummer actually prefers to hear the whole mix in his ears...in an ideal situation you would have more separation (using a multioutput interface) for the drummer to have his own submix
+Gospel Multitracks Got it so a mutiouput interface will split the sound from the iPad ... any suggestions on a interface to get
Do I need a keyboard with midi for this setup cause my keyboard doesn't have midi?
+Gimberg Preval yes you do
como faço para importar 4 pistas diferentes sendo um com click para sair estereo?
I got an Ipad pro with the USB C , and I am really confused about what I need and what I dont as far as Live rig situation , I have an Sub Mixer with balanced outputs that I can connect to , My question is : Do I really need a DI Box AND ! An Audio interface ??? and if Yes , why ?? I'll mostly be using it for Live performance and occasional midi recording ( NO or minimal Audio )
Not looking forward to spend more money to be Honest , but If I have to , then I will ...
Thank you All !
Check this video I did

John, is the keyboard hooked up directly to an amp?
No the iPad is plugged into a mixer that is running into the church sound system
@@Johnmike What would be the minimum amount of accessories I need to get the controller operational including types of cable hookups? I just ordered this keyboard controller and don't have any experience with it. Thanks John.
How do you get mkSensation to play in the background? When I switch to prime, MkSensation no longer works.
There’s been a problem with mksensation and prime playing together since like iOS 11...we haven’t been able to figure it out
@@Johnmike okay I thought you had it playing in the background. I haven't been able to get any other midi software to work in the background :(. I have tried iGrand and Korg
dhoyablu22 in this video I had it working...it was before the updates happened
@@Johnmike oh so it isn't possible currently?! Nooo :(
Just what I was looking for! and using free apps .. bonus! Thanks brother.
Do I need a direct box ? If so are they expensive ?
+dhartgrove05 depends on your setup...and they aren't
Hey bro does that app bring ambience for the piano sound??
Hi Erik. It looks like it does. At 4:55 I see a 'Reverb' control in the lower left section of the app's dashboard.
How do you separate the click and cues?
Pan left/right click and cues on the left...track on the right
But that means the track is then in mono only, right ?
Thank you!
Whats good man? If im running mksensation and another app with a bass on it is there any way while having the bass split , can i have the bass not hold while im.holding the sustain pedal....?
What are you using to split the bass?
@@Johnmike i have i fretless , sampletank, and 16I bass. Like this morning for church im taking my 49 m-audio key but im using my roland 61key just for the bass ....
Check out an app called AUM it’s a music app host that lets you load all of your music apps in one app...you can filter things out like sustain pedal and all that
@@Johnmike appreciate it man have a blessed day.
How do I get a clean quality sound from my ipad (mine sounds kind of hollow sometimes)...what audio hardware is best (on a budget)?
I bought a behringer stage mixer(little small 5-channel mixer) it has EQ on it so I can adjust the lows, Mids and highs on it to get a better sound
ABOUT and Android? Have to be apple always?
No good music apps on android
? is there any organ sound?
Check out gallileo organ 2
Bro, how if I have an android tablet? What app I should use?
There aren’t any great ones that I know of
Amazing and very useful
Does this work with iPhones?
Yes
You the man!!!!!!
excellent brother god bless
Dose your Ipad ever freeze?
No
Commented from the wrong account but it's me john Mike..
Do you have a link to the direct box that everything is plugged into? I wanted to pick one up
if i need more then 4 headphone being that one goes to the house can i put a audio splitter on it and then plug in to different heaphones?
+dhartgrove05 yup!
can you use android?
+Steeven Mauricio Espinosa Otavalo no these apps I'm using only work on IOS
Why are the sounds so expensive 😭
you said this is a app?
+Tre Terry both of them are apps that are running on my iPad
Awesome
I got an ipad pro 12.9 and lawd I cant wait Lol
The prime app is taking over and not letting mksensations work
It’s not an issue with us it’s with the mksensation...it hasn’t been updated
@@Johnmike ok
@@Johnmike can you suggest a module similar to MK? wasted $40 on 2 trash onez so far. thanks
johnpaul derrick korg module
