It solves some serious live performance problems for me!! Here they are:<\/p>\n<p>1. Playing my iPad live is awesome, but keeping it powered up is a decision between power and midi data.  Previously, I would plug in the camera connection kit for midi or a power plug. No more.  The IODock has power to keep my iPad charging while in use, and a square style USB port.  <\/p>\n<p>2. Speaking of midi&#8230; Previously I&#8217;d have to connect a midi out usb device from my computer to a midisport UNO connected by the camera connection kit to the ipad.  Giant hassles! Now with the IODock, I just go directly from the computer to the dock. No midi devices whatsoever between the computer and the iPad. Sweet!!<\/p>\n<p>3. Flexible outputs&#8230; Since there are quarter inch output jacks and a headphone jack, I can use whichever I need to. Sometimes playing live, I can experience the iPad being too quiet&#8230; The headphone jack on the IODock gets *crazy* loud. So I have options for different mixing environments. <\/p>\n<p>4. Looks professional.  Always helps. Ima cover up this giant Alesis logo post haste, guys. (Sorry Alesis.)  But the case looks good, the tilt is nice.  A definite plus.<\/p>\n<p>And I guess there are a bunch of other things that are in this box, but the items above cover the price of admission for me! Well done Alesis. This seems like it&#8217;s going to be a great product.<\/p>\n<p>-steve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just got my Alesis IODock for iPad.
