Jan 19, 2016 Now, once you have recorded the WK-225's output with Garageband and disconnect the audio interface, you can then connect the Ipad Mini's audio out to the WK-225's Audio In and play it back through the WK-225's sound system and speakers. You just can not do this when the audio interface is connected for the reason I mention above.
Question: Q: connecting a midi keyboard to iPad garageband? This is something that is very easy to do on my macbook using either garageband or logic express. However, I am not sure how to do it on the ipad or if it is even possible. I have a Casio CTK- 496 keyboard that I am trying to connect into Garage band '11. It recognizes that I have inputed a Midi device, but when I try to play the piano in garage band it does not work. Dec 23, 2011 Garageband did not recognise my device and so I hit the best users guide known to man and searched blogs and forums. It quickly became apparent that mac compatibility is not high on casio music's to-do list. All hope was lost, I would have to purchase a new keyboard something that is not an option. How to Connect a MIDI USB Keyboard to an iPad Connecting USB-based MIDI devices to your iPad is a snap! Many apps like Garage Band, iPolysix, and Tabletop support small devices.
First up, if you would prefer to learn about how to connect your MIDI keyboard to an iPad (or computer) with cables, we now have a this great video:

OR if you prefer to read all about connecting your MIDI keyboard to your iPad using cables, we have some excellent information for you below.
Note:
1. The following information applies to iPad 4 or better up to iPad Pro (2nd Gen)
2. Older iPads may require different adapters to the ones described below and
3. The new iPad Pro (3 Gen) uses a USB C cable, so the adapter needed will also be different.
Let's start with the most fundamental question..
When it comes to connecting a MIDI keyboard to an iPad, most people ask the obvious question, what cables do I need, etc. to make the connection?

But there’s a more fundamental consideration to be addressed first…
Does Your MIDI keyboard Have Its Own Power Supply?
The main consideration to be aware of is that an iPad running on battery usually does not have enough juice to power both itself and a MIDI keyboard.
So there are two possible scenarios:
SCENARIO 1: If your MIDI keyboard has its own power supply / cable that you can plug into a wall..
then you can use any of the various cable / connection options available from Apple.
For example, you can connect a MIDI-to-USB Cable or USB 2.0 cable from the back of your MIDI keyboard either to an iPad Camera Connection Kit or to a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter and then plug that into your iPad.
If you happen to already own one of these adapters / kits, great. Just use that.
SCENARIO 2: If your MIDI keyboard does NOT have its own power supply / cable that you can plug into a wall…
then it typically draws its power directly from a usb port, e.g. when used with a computer it draws its power from a USB port on your computer.
If you want to use this kind of keyboard with an iPad — you can, however your Apple accessory options are slightly more limited. At the time of writing, the option I suggest is a Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter (pictured above).
https://www.apple.com/au/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter (Australian Apple store)
In this case you would connect a USB 2.0 cable from the back of your MIDI keyboard to the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter and then plug that into your iPad. And to provide enough power to run both the iPad and your MIDI keyboard, you would also connect your iPad power supply to the USB 3 Camera Adapter.
This particular adapter is, in my opinion, the most versatile of the Apple adapters available at the time of writing as you can use this adapter with any MIDI keyboard whether or not it has its own power supply.
So even if your MIDI keyboard has its own power supply as per Scenario One, if you do not currently own a Camera Connection Kit / Adapter, the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter is the one I suggest.
Another benefit of using the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter is that your iPad will be continuously charged, whereas if you run it on battery, you’ll need to charge it in advance.
Disclaimer: iPad connection options are evolving all the time. If in doubt, please remember that Apple are the experts on Apple connectors, so they are the best people to advise you on the appropriate connectors between your MIDI keyboard and an iPad.

but when I try to play the piano in garage band it does not work.
In what way does it not work? Don't you hear the keyboard or does it not record anything?
And how is the keyboard connected? To the USB port or are you using an interface?

If you cannot hear anything, check, the settings on your keyboard. I don't have your keyboard, but usually the problem is that the volume is set too low on the keyboard, or that the octave setting on the keyboard does not match the range of the selected software instrument track. For example, you will not here anything on a piano track, if the octave on the keyboard is '1', because the piano does not play that octave.
