Review on Adapter Compatible Portable Charging Application by Craig Rossman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally connected my MIDI keyboard to my iPad!

With all the "free time" these days, I've started making music again. Bought an M-Audio MIDI keyboard and a USB-B to Lightning cable, connected the keyboard to my 2017 iPad Pro and immediately saw the notification "Unable to Use Accessory: Accessory is using too much power". hubs, but no luck. Then I saw a recommendation to use Apple's latest CCC (the one with performance bandwidth) and decided to try this much cheaper alternative and BAZINGA! (As the kids say.) Works great with or without additional power from the lightning pass-through connector (unexpected bonus). Keyboard Pro for iPad 2017 is your solution.

Pros
  • USB to USB adapter
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
