Hi guys, just ordered an iPad Air 2 (long time need upgrade from iPad 2)
I have an io dock 1, 30 pin, griffin studio connect, 30 pin.
A 25 note keyboard with USB midi.
First I though get a 30 to lightening apple cable to use the docks to record audio and midi but impossible to find in Europe less that £50.
Than I though ok just midi will do but then hit a brick wall finding what USB to lightening I need that will actually work.
Any help would be super cool.
Best
Matt

Yep good luck with this. I’m onto my 3rd 30-pin to lightning adaptor now and none of them work.

As long it's not Tory blue I don't care what color it is.
What about USB keyboard to lightning ?

Similarly to the OP I have an Alesis ioDock (Mk2 though) and id like it to double as a phone charger when why I’m looking for the extension. And having one rogue white cable would definitely upset my OCD.topaz wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 5:36 pm As long it's not Tory blue I don't care what color it is.

Just looked it up - it's called MFI Certification. Usually makes the cables about half price and sometimes less.topaz wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 4:26 pm Thanks but 0 results.

Just ordered this to see if it will at least connect my midi controller.

Would of been nice to have hacked the iodock or griffin 30 pin to work.
Something tells me this adapter won’t work and I will end up with the apple.
