## Questions & Answers

**Q: What free software does this work with on Windows?**
A: This keyboard works fine with windows 10 ( no drivers needed) and You can download software from the LPK25 website.

**Q: Does this work on FL Studio?**
A: Yes, I bought mines and plugged it in and it worked. Had to select the midi instrument but that's easy to find. If you don't know how to do it, YouTube does good tutorials

**Q: Do I need to order a Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit for this to work with an IPAD?**
A: USB camera adapter for just over £12 lets me connect the UNO Synth and I had a go at using it as a controller for Syntronic and it worked a treat. So being able to do that it told me I did not have to buy the expensive IRig 2. I also tried it with a soft synth on the iPad and it worked.

A: Miss L. Spencer, yes it does! The keys are a bit small, but it works just fine. Have fun with it!
