    Hi everyone,
    New here first time post, trying to use the irig 2 as a link between my iPad and Grandmeister 40w.
    There's exceedingly little about how to hook this up at all. It should be possible?? Any advice or instructions appreciated.

    It should be fine Craig, there are other threads where people use the Irig2 to control GM36s and the MIDI of the GM40 is exactly the same.  One thing, I'm not an "I" devotee so I can't definitively advise directly on that side of things but...

    The basic idea should be:  Ipad -> Apple Convertor '?' -> Irig2;  Irig2 MIDI Out -> GM40D MIDI In;  Irig MIDI In -> GM40D MIDI Out.  Set Device and Channels in the settings to match the amp and app.  

    I suspect from the info I found you will need an "Apple camera kit" or a "Lightning" connector or some such piece of Apple nonsense!  It would be just like Apple to make you buy an extra piece of gear to do something normal, and the price of their convertors and cables...   affraid

    You will find a couple of videos which may help on this page:  H&K Blog MIDI Setup  The second one is the one you want where they show you the connection using, surprise surprise, an iRig.  They also use an additional Apple connector!  They are working with the GM36 but it is exactly the same on your GM40D.  You don't need the FSM432, just connect as I described above and you should be fine.

    Have a look at that and see what you think then get back to us here with your progress.

    Thanks,
    I wound up purchasing the h and k wireless as well so we'll see when that gets here. The I rig was pretty cheap so no harm done. It was becoming apparent that I'd need to get more than just the irig to operate it. Now I'm just needing to make sure the h and k works with my iPad.

    Will know in a few days. Thanks.
