My iPad currently works fine with my iRig BlueTurn but I can't seem to connect it within BandHelper. The App control screen shows other bluetooth devices that perform the same function.Attachment is awaiting approval..I looked at the information on the forum for some of the other iRig products but it is somewhat dated. I need this to work, is the recommendation to purchase one of the units that are currently supported?

You're posting in the MIDI forum but the iRig BlueTurn is not a MIDI device, so you would not connect it within the app. You would connect it in the device's Settings app on the Bluetooth page.

Arlo, thank you for your response. I want to utilize the blue turn to step through midi presets within a song. I can transmit the midi presets to my keyboard when the song loads, or if I have multiple patches I can set them to change at a specified interval. My desire is to be in a song that has multiple midi presets stored within, and have the ability to begin with soft piano, then use my footswitch to move up to the 'screaming keyboard solo', then end on a bell pad patch. Is this even possible? Or is there another way to trigger different patches but not be tied to a click track or a midi file?

Yes, you can map your foot switch buttons to the Next MIDI Preset and Previous MIDI Preset app control actions:
