You can connect any class compliant USB audio interface or MIDI controller or keyboard to your iPad. This article shows you what devices you can connect, and also includes some tips to ensure success when using the Apple Camera iPad Connection Kit.
All class compliant USB audio interfaces, MIDI controllers and keyboards can be connected to the iPad using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit.
What does 'class compliant' mean?
A class compliant device is one that doesn't require extra drivers to connect your Windows or Macintosh computer, or to your iPad. Class compliant devices use drivers which are built into the host (i.e. the computer or the iPad) operating system.
To find out if your USB audio or MIDI device is class compliant, check the manufacturer's web page. If it connects automatically to any computer without requiring you to install drivers from a website or a disk, it is probably class compliant.
Nov 07, 2016 I need a little help with my MIDI keyboard (Akain MPK mini mkII), (DAW: Garageband). The keys work great, but I don't know how to assign the pads to the sounds I want to play (drum kits). For example, I want Pad 1 to trigger the kick (C1), but it triggers Ab1. Dec 10, 2011 is this the case even in the most recent garageband?!! The only hardware controller I know of that gives ability to control aspects of a GB Sound Generator is the now discontinued M-Audio iControl. Its not smooth as the knobs are indented so they click and create a series of little mini.
iPad Power - not as much as you might think
Many USB devices draw their power right from the USB cable that connects them to their host (a computer or an iPad). The iPad can also supply power to connected USB devices. The USB ports on computers supply 5V and 100mA-500mA of power. However, through the course of several updates and revisions, Apple has decreased the amount of electrical power the iPad is allowed to supply connected USB devices.
This means that some devices that draw only a little power can survive off of what the iPad supplies, but devices that require more power may not find the iPad USB connection sufficient. Furthermore, Apple can and has altered how much juice the iPad can offer connected devices, so what may have worked in the past, may not necessarily work in the future.
When you connect, the order matters
You have a MIDI or Audio device, a USB cable, the Apple Camera Connection Kit adapter, and your iPad..
Even if the device you are connecting requires very little power, if you connect them in the wrong order, you're likely to get the following error: Accessory Unavailable. The attached accessory uses too much power.
To maximize the likelihood of a successful connection with an audio or MIDI device, you need to..
- Connect the USB cable to your Audio or MIDI device first.
- Next, connect the other end of the USB cable to the iPad Camera Connection Kit adapter.
- Last, connect the Camera Connection Kit adapter (with the USB cable already attached) to the 30-pin port on the bottom of your iPad.
- Wait 10 seconds. The iPad will take a few moments to fully recognize a connected device.

Bpm wont show on serato after analyzing files. If you still get the error above, or if the class compliant device does not function within 10 seconds of connection, the device likely requires more power than the iPad can supply.
If at first you don't succeed..use an AC Powered USB Hub
If the device you are connecting requires more power than the iPad can supply, connect it to an AC powered USB hub. Powered USB hubs have AC power adapters that connect them to an electrical socket on the wall. This will help ensure any connected devices have enough power to operate.

List of some compatible devices
Note that Apple can and has altered how much juice the iPad can offer connected devices, so what may have worked without a powered hub in the past, may not necessarily work in the future.
