I've been reading the user manual, some of the posts in this forum, and have watched some videos on lemur, so I know enough to be interested, but not enough to know if it will work in my setup.
I plan on using the iConnectMIDI2 with an iPhone 5 (connected to device port 1) running Lemur to control a DSI Mopho synth (connected using MIDI 1 In and Out) and a midi keyboard (connected using MIDI 2 In). MIDI 2 Out will be connected to all MIDI devices following it in the MIDI chain.
I looked at the Mopho template in the user library, but since that was made for an iPad I assume that it will be much too small to use on iPhone. I anticipate having to create my own template with as many as 12 pages/tabs so that I can access all of the Mopho's parameters.
1. Will the iConnectMIDI2 allow 2-way MIDI communication between the iphone and the Mopho: if I change a parameter on the iPhone running lemur, it will change the corresponding parameter on the Mopho, and if I change a parameter on the Mopho, it will change the corresponding parameter on lemur?
2. Will the iConnectMIDI2 pass all MIDI data received on MIDI 1 and/or 2 In to all connected devices(iPhone 5, DSI Mopho), and to MIDI 2 Out for all other devices connected to the MIDI chain?
3. Has anyone successfully used lemur on an iPhone 5 running the latest operating system to control a MIDI device? (A forum search for the term iPhone returns a search error)

Hi
If you check out the stats of the iConnect (and Mopho output) you should find the answers you seek . .
Basically . .
1. Yes - if the Mopho is sending out data for the control you are using then iC2 can send it so Lemur can use it . . .
2. iConnect multiport devices can be set up to route MIDI just about anywhere within it - and newer versions also have selectable snapshots of those settings . . .
3. Pretty sure they have - Have not seen any massive complaints regarding this - should be the same as other devices basically . . .
Hope that helps

So in my anticipated setup there will not be a computer. Will it work to make the lemur target connection on the iPhone 5 to the DSI Mopho through the iconnectMIDI2?
Yes . . .
Though you will probably need the Lightning to 30pin convertor to connect it up . ..
