Camera Connection Kit and Garageband Help needed.

[southseaisland]

Not sure where this belongs so I'll just start here and if it needs to be moved, so be it. I have had an ipad2 for awhile now and use it mostly for basic surfing, keeping up with email etc. Recently downloaded Garageband and love it. I am a musician and have two keyboards a Yamaha Clavinova with midi interface (and subsequently bought a midi to USB cable) and a Yamaha YPG-235 with USB out. Plugged both into the camera kit and Garageband recognizes nothing. I have rebooted and waited 30 seconds. Tried powered hub/no powered hub. Tried both keyboards with their associated cables, still nothing. I see videos on youtube where people just plug in and play. What am I doing wrong or not right. I am a PC user and my midi cable was immediately recognized by my laptop so the midi cable definitely works. I even recorded into Audacity with no problem. All I would like to do is access the instruments in Garageband. I would appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks

Is the midi cable connected to the keyboard's midi ​

out

with the interface's midi ​

in?

Yes it is and I just solved the problem. The camera card is a 3rd party manufacturer and it has a minute and I do mean minute toggle switch located on the bottom. It separates the USB and camera card slots. Everything is up and running but thanks for the input.
