Select a MIDI device with
(a) low power requirements, or purchase a powered USB hub., and (b) that uses the universal MIDI drivers (does not require custom drivers - which cannot be installed on an iPad). 2. Purchase the Apple Camera Connection Kit. 3. Plug the MIDI device into the USB Hub and the USB hub into the Apple Camera Connection Kit (or if the MIDI device is low powered, skip the USB hub and plug directly into the Apple Camera Connection Kit. 4. Plug the Camera Connection Kit into the iPad charging port. 5. Run GarageBand and select an instrument that can be controlled by MIDI (any of them except digital audio tracks). Note: If there is no sound from GarageBand when playing the instrument, then (a) check your volume level - GarageBand often resets the volume for the latest device connected, (b) wait - sometimes it takes a while for everything to connect internallly, (c) unplug and replug the Camera Connection Kit and wait again, If no success, double check all steps above. MIDI devices can control iPad instruments in GarageBand and in many other sound apps - but try GarageBand first. One last thought: some Camera Connection Kits have USB Audio out, and so the iPad audio is sometimes directed to that output instead. Be sure to listen for the sound where it is being directed.
