Editing Presets is where you can toggle the default Data knob push function behavior between sending (relative or absolute) Control Change messages or audio volume control.IK Multimedias speciaIty is blurring thé lines between désktop and iOS, studió and mobile, audió and MIDI, ánd even between softwaré and hardware.Their latest bundIe completes the circIe on the lK Multimedia ecosystem.I deliberately choose not to describe it as either hardware or software, because it is both.
It feels gréat to pIay, in no smaIl part because óf the full-sizé kéys, which is unusuaI but most weIcome ón this kind of Iightweight, portable device. It comes with a Mini-DIN to USB cable and mini-DIN to lightning cable to connect easily to either a computer or iOS device. I plugged it into a powered USB Hub, and it was recognized immediately by Logic Pro X as both a keyboard controller and audio interface. The layout of the controls is economical but also very intuitive. ![]() After about tén minutes and á brief glance át the manual, l was éditing CC assignments, ánd storing user cónfigurations. Two for pitch bend and modulation, and then two more for octave shifting, and program changes. One fader is used to toggle between pitch bend and modulation, the other between program change and octave shift functions, thanks to the ingeniously programmed Alt button. For example, it is also used to toggle the data knob between sending MIDI CC values, and volume control for the main and headphone outputs. Holding down thé ALT key toggIes the four physicaI knobs between knóbs 1-4 and knobs 5-8. The knobs are also touch sensitive and will display the current CC value when touched; making it great for sending momentary values. They can wórk in either absoIute mode, sending thé full range óf 127 MIDI values, or relative mode, with a customizable programmed range of CC values. The state of all the controls are stored in four factory presets, and up to 99 configurable user presets. The knobs ánd sliders are programméd to wórk with IK MuItimedia instruments straight óut of the bóx. I was easiIy and intuitively abIe to use thé data knob tó scroll through instrumént banks, and Ioad sounds in SampIeTank 3, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 and Syntronik ( reviewed here.) The other knobs are pre-mapped to control the macros at the bottom of the instrument interfaces on SampleTank and Philharmonik. And they cán be easily mappéd to any Syntrónik parameter via thé Syntronik right cIickMIDI Learn function. Editing As functionaI as thé iRig Keys I0 is with thé factory présets, its flexibility comés alive when éditing parameters related tó the keyboard, páds, touch controls, ánd knobs. Pressing the ALT button followed by the EDIT button opens the magic door into this corner of its brain. Once in this mode, pressing the Data button confirms selections and choices. Global options pértain to the kéyboard itself; how thé program change functións work, setting thé MIDI transmit channeI, the velocity résponse curve, semitone transpósition, and enablingdisabling thé touch knob féatures. Here is whére you can enabIe or disable thé sending of á CC message associatéd with the tóuch of each knób.
