Would I use a USB to Thunderbolt cable from the USB OUT of the controller keyboard? Do I lose some performance if that is the case? I hope I'm not embarrassing myself on on first post, but I'm trying to keep my head above water till I learn the basics!ġ5" rMBP Laptop (Thunderbolt x2 USB 3.0 x2)Īs stated previously, the Apollo does not have any MIDI I/O. Since I don't see a MIDI or USB port on the back of the Apollo, how does one connect a MIDI controller keyboard? I have researched and as best I can see the Apollo doesn't have a either option. I am very interested in the Apollo after hearing some sound clips, and seeing the focus on analog plug-ins, as analog was the essence of my beginnings in studios in Burbank and Studio City, CA as a guitarist in the '60's/'70's.

Just wanted to introduce myself and to ask a basic question.
