Is the app struggling to hear you play? Get ready for perfect note recognition 🎉

⚠️ Make sure you've already checked our Step 1 guide on understanding which MIDI input your keyboard has.

All you need is to connect a cable and adapter to your keyboard and iPad, and you're all set 🌟

Equipment

Before getting started, make sure to get a USB Cable and a USB to USB C Adapter. Here's where you can find them:

  1. Standard USB Cable (Type B Male to Type A Male) (This is just an example, other brands work too)

  2. USB to USB C Adapter

Steps

  1. Connect your keyboard to the USB cable (type B MALE SIDE).

  2. Connect the USB Cable (TYPE A MALE USB side) to the USB to USB C Adapter.

  3. Last, connect the USB  to USB C Adapter to your iOS Device. Make sure to do this before starting a level or a song.

That's it! 🎉 Simply Piano will immediately recognize a MIDI connection and you will see a notification showing that the MIDI connection is good to go. Time to break out the tunes! 🪩
