    • New board from Roland - seems to be a stripped-down RD-88. Additional abilities including USB audio are purchasable via Roland Cloud.   https://www.roland.com/global/products/rd-08/    
    • Ok, so we're cool, good to hear.  🙂  Just out of curiosity, which version of Prodikeys do you have?  There's 3 according to Wikipedia: Prodikeys, Prodikeys DM, and Prodikeys PC-MIDI.   Not sure what the difference is, the Wiki page doesn't go into much detail. As far as I can tell, all versions connect to the computer via a PS-2 port.   For those that don't know, PS-2 is a mini-DIN port used on older IBM-PC's to connect keyboards and mice - it was popular for quite a few years.  It looks like a miniature MIDI port, often green or purple.  Would your iPad Pro have such a port?   Or is there some way to jury-rig a connection? EDIT:  I just did some googling, and answered my own question:  there are PS/2-to-USB adapters available.  But that still leaves the driver problem, which is what you're facing.   Correct?
    • No worries, Floyd. I'm still holding out hope that someone will come up with a driver, or that one day I abandon Windows and find that Ubuntu has a working driver. Actually, I've never plugged it into my iPad Pro, so maybe it works with that. I'll check and report. I hate to see it being unused, at least the keyboard function, since it's practically brand new.
    • But that's not available for iPad, AFAIK.
    • Hi, welcome aboard.   I don't think anyone else has addressed this part of your post.   The ES120 has good piano sounds, but (imho), the Nord does much better in the rhodes department.   And I don't the the ES120 has any Hammond sounds at all, whereas that is an area the Nord excels in.    Is it mostly the feel of the Nord you're not happy with?   Or is it the piano sound?

    • My trusty Typhon can:   "Audio over USB -Typhon gets recognised as Audio/USB device. This feature enables Typhon to act as an audio input and be recorded from a computer directly without the use of a sound card. This feature got implemented to support the previous described feature so as the user doesn’t have to connect the physical audio out to his sound card, and so on create a ground loop, which cause a constant buzzing at Typhon’s audio."   https://www.dreadbox-fx.com/typhon/  
    • Ipad, yes, but from my experience with the Modx that is due to being able to set the Modx as the audio interface in the audio app(s) I used.  In other words, unlike sending analog audio to a mixer or speaker where the sending unit doesn't care or know what is connected, I had to set the Modx as the destination or it wouldn't have sent anything. I'm not sure if a synth that can send audio over usb would be able to do so with another keyboard, unless it had a way to do the same...never thought about it though (which synths can send audio over usb?)
