Greetings,

The Yamaha Sound Controller iPad app apprears to be great!  It has pitch-bend, modulation, and 20 arpeggios.  It appears to work only with "compatible" Yamaha keyboards.  However, in the "Manual" there is no mention of "compatible" Yamaha keyboards.

My question:  Will it work with Casio keyboards, such as the WK-7600?
Has anyone tried it to see if it will work with other brands?

Thanks for your help.

I've never tried to use it with any other brands of keyboards, but you can certainly try it; either it will work, or it won't. :)

Note that, even if it does work, only those functions (MIDI messages) which are supported by the keyboard will work. For instance, I think most Casio models will respond to Pitch Bend and Modulation, but some models will not respond to things like Attack Time, Release Time, Harmonic Content (Resonance), and Brightness (Cutoff Frequency). The MIDI Implementation Chart for the model should indicate which types of messages it will and won't respond to.
