Does anyone have expertise with midi controllers and audio output? My understanding is that this is a midi controller, and we need something like an iPad+Mainstage to output sounds.
It looks like I need to also buy something called a USB Audio Interface to link it together into a signal for the amp? Something like the MOTU M2 or similar? Do I actually need this or can the iPad handle everything?
