When connect Yamaha keyboard to iPad with ipados 15.4.1 or 15.5 beta 1 or 15.5 beta 2 the music app likes korg module pro, cubasis, Camelot Pro crashes. I tried with other midi keyboard like Arturia or Native instruments and Midi works. Reading the forum seems somethink linked with Yamaha keyboard. Until ipados 15.4 all worked fine.

I have an old Yamaha YPG-635 and can confirm that MIDI apps no longer work with my iPad Pro 12.9" after installing 15.4.1. This is also affecting users of our app, Playground Sessions, which depends on system MIDI to follow user playing and provide feedback. As of beta 3 of iPadOS 15.5 (19F5062g), the bug has not been fixed.

Clearly this is due to the 15,4 update. I have not tried to work around it with IRig setup or others. I did try usb direct as well as with usb to 5 pin din in out adapter and with camera adapter. No midi going through the usb c on my IPad Pro 12.9. No luck with any of my Roland keys at all. Juno-Gi 61, Juno-DS 88, and FANTOM 7 (Newest Flagship model Updated to newest version). This is outrageous! So long to Apple being the musicians go to OS. I am hoping for a bug fix but it looks like this has been affecting the musician community since the updates inception on March 31st and there is no solution from apple. Does anybody have a better solution that doesn’t involve purchasing a superfluous midi interface that I shouldn’t need?

These are the possibilities I tried here.

Cable USB-B to USB-A with Lighting Camera Adapter or USB-B to Lightning (Agvee) Devices iPhone 13, iPhone 8 or iPad Air 2 iOS 15.3.1 work. After iOS 15.4 don’t work.

Cable USB-B to USB-A with USB-C Camera Adapter or USB-B to USB-C (Ugreen) Device iPad Air 4 iOS 15.3.1 works After iOS 15.4 doesn't work.

MIDI DIN to USB-A with USB-C Camera Adapter or lightning Camera Adapter All devices are working. Tried on iPhone 8, 12, iPad Air 2, 3 and 4. All with 15.4.1.

I'm using a DOREMiDi Brand cable. This is the only way I found to use SimplyPiano for while, at least, until Apple fix this problem.

I have the same problem. Yamaha MO8 worked fine via usb MIDI since 2010 (iPad 1st gen, iPad 3rd gen, iPad Pro 9.7 and now iPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen) but stopped working since I updated to iPadOS 15.4.1 a few days ago . Music apps like AUM, Korg Gadget… crash when connecting my Yamaha keyboard.

I think Apple needs more feedbacks. :-( [https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/)

Still no luck with iOS/iPadOS 15.6 beta or 16 beta? Btw, I contacted Yamaha and they said they were aware of the issue and had reported it to Apple: https://uk.yamaha.com/en/news_events/04_dtxm12_notice.html

Is Apple also ignoring Yamaha, or is this just not a pressing issue for Apple? Or they just moved on? Yamaha say it's a "temporary inconvenience", so I guess they have some faith.
