they're going to be more PC users out
there than Mac users we know that we
recognize that so right the bat after we
unbox this we're going to try to hook it
up to the PC with the basic installed
software and just see if we can get it
to work and go from there because it's
so that's really cool for the PC users

able to but let's do the unboxing first
so down here at the end got that go
ahead and get one of my trusty little
knives out here there we go
make ourselves a trusty little incision
here as well yeah didn't dip into don't
do alright there we go the box can now
open and pop this little top here and
I'll go ahead I'm just probably get pull
this back so not gonna get the whole
thing in the camera range here next it's
gonna use if I shake the box there we go
it's starting to come out Oh sounds like
someone's passing gas but it's not it's
just the box now that now this towards
Cameron look at government dock alright
so I hit the microphone it's gonna be a
big old boom right there so anyway
that's my crazy antics let's go ahead
and pop the cap here and we're off the
bat dog alright we get the Quick Start
Guide iRig Keys Universal keyboard
controller for iPhone iPad a you guys
already know that right Quick Start
Guide just going to tell you a bunch of
stuff how to use it and a bunch of
different languages ones that I don't
speak alright we're going to bang that
off to the side this is the register
your I K accessory today you want to
make sure that you do that that way you
can go ahead and download all the stuff
we talked about before like I said they
have a thing right here it says get all
your sample products and all that stuff
on the other side of this is my
registration card and registration card
which you can't see so haha alright so
they were moving that out of the way
what we got down here a revolution
mobile music revolution which is what
these guys are trying to do they're
trying to
everything to be portable rock and roll
on your phone you guys ought it is the
mobile world's taking over
so microUSB to USB see those over the
place
iPhone so you can put in your iPhone now
we'll go ahead and take the product out
and as I've actually read about this I
won't be able to give you guys a demo
like I wanted to you actually have to
use one of those programs so I'm going
to have to like install one in this
computer to do that I thought it'd be
simpler but it's not so let me bang this
out of the way now to the Cameron to get
some very very close ups here and I mean
hold this up we'll start off actually we
might as well start off in the back so
let's just start off in the back right
here you see connectivity this is for a
pedal right here is the iOS connection
plug the iOS connection in into your
phone record directly from this into
your phone easy stuff so that's the
connectivity in the back now let's flip
it around I'll show you guys the front
pitch modulation you guys all those are
good volume right here ten tenten tenten
you can do your different settings here
up and down your octaves here your
programs are here you can see that it's
very very very small but really cool for
using just simple things not very
expensive either being 99 bucks like I
said so you can sit here and use this
thing
and it actually feels pretty good
underneath my fingers it's not bad at
all
it's kind of funny because they have
some of the keys here you know you can
see right here it says all notes off
transparent reset enter yes and actually
each one of these all the way down you
know has something else to do it here
you see you know channel no mini channel
velocity knobs progression so you have
all kinds of knobs all kinds of control
with this 99 bucks so you guys the back
much to it is the bottom though it's got
a little feet to hold on to the stand
and that's pretty much it all right
there we go rockers and rollers you guys
can see this thing's made for ultra
portability it's very very lightweight
it's kind of long but you can stick it
inside of a duffel bag no problem at all
the cool thing about this is since it
goes directly to your phone it can be
powered that way you can plug this thing
directly into your phone and then just
start rockin I mean you could be at the
beach with your friends at a beach party
and just go oh hey I got a grant here
for a song and start banging it out you
know I mean or I think there's trickier
ways you could use it as well you could
probably hook it up and use one of those
USB speaker type things through your
phone so you play it through your phone
USB wireless speaker and you're playing
live at the beach through your phone on
the keyboard not I apologize I couldn't
give you guys a demo but we found out
Rock the beds are unboxing there's
nothing in the box at all the paper work
I have to go online register the product
download the software do all that stuff
and then I can get it up and going so
that'll be another video anyways let me
know what you guys think about this do
you think it's a pretty cool product do
you think it's total garbage I mean do
you think it's actually something
interesting I feel that it's something
very interesting for the fact that the
portability for those people who just
want to have something and take wherever
they go in this new age where everybody
says oh I want to go it's great but you
know from some of those programs you
know like Pro Tools logic all that kind
of stuff that's going to be more with
your laptop that's not going to be
really too much with your phone you're
going to be using that more your laptop
or your computer depending on how it
goes
