Using USB-MIDI directly to the keyboard
Keyboards with a USB to Host port can be connected using a USB printer cable. As the iPad
doesn’t have a USB connect
ion, you need an adapter (commonly called a camera connector)
to connect the iPad with the USB cable.

Using a USB MIDI adapter
Many USB to MIDI cables can be also used with the iPad. The cable is connected to the 5-pin
MIDI port (either midi A or midi B).
Since the iPad doesn’t have a USB connect
ion, you need
a camera connector to connect the USB end of the cable to the iPad.
To avoid
the adapter draining the iPad’s
battery, you can use an active USB Hub (with power
supply) between the iPad and USB MIDI adapter.
