It’s the first ever IO Dock outside Alesis‘ labs to feature a USB hub, it’s the most successful project in this blog<\/a>, and I am selling it<\/a>. \"20140523-105055-39055060.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a simple hack on a crazy notion, and I’m really happy how it all turned out, getting noted by Discchord<\/a> and Synthopia<\/a> and others. More importantly, it’s a simple solution for a real problem, and it just works.<\/p>\n

I’m also a lot more confident that it’s a good hack: The modified IO Dock has been in use at home and in the band for over a year, and the hack has been successfully replicated by<\/a> some<\/a> very smart<\/a> hackers<\/a> – over at Churchnerd’s blog you’ll not only find a description how to do it that is way better than mine<\/a>, he also found a simple and elegant way to make the modded dock work with the iPad Air<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So why am I selling? I’ve got a good reason: Money. :) Apart from that, I am using an iPad Air now and switched over to another interface – a third-hand Novation X-Station keyboard\/synth\/fx combi with class-compliant USB Midi and Audio in\/out<\/a>. Best solution in the practice room for the time being, and if I’m getting a good price on my IO Dock, I might go out and get a Focusrite iTrack Dock<\/a> to use at home.<\/p>\n

However, I encourage you to try the hack for yourself, and I am confident that it will work with the new, lightning connector enabled, IO Dock 2<\/a>. (Update: unfortunately, it doesn’t<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

A couple of things I have learned:<\/strong><\/p>\n
