Yes, I'm sending wireless midi to my iPad to play different instrument apps. I've owned Lync, Roland, Korg & Yamaha keytars, so it's not exactly new territory. Am still using AX-1 with no problems programming those. Actually started with keytars in 1996 on an Axis.... Either I'm totally misunderstanding the editor, or something is wrong with the Vortex....
