Hi all,
I need to purchase a Lightning to USB adapter since I want to add MIDI input from my music keyboard for GarageBand on my iPad Air 2. Don't need a USB 3 version (like this official one) so even USB 2 will do, and have a budget of 1.5k, max of 2k (obviously the lower the better). If you have any specific experiences with such a convertor (also called OTG I think) please reply.
A quick Amazon search yields a lot of results, with prices ranging from 500 to north of 2k. Most of them have sporadic reviews, but I also understand that a lot of drives and accessories are simply incompatible with iPads and iPhones so not taking reviews too seriously so far. Just need something decent to connect my keyboard to, and would prefer one with a Lightning cable input so that it stays charged as well.
Or if there is any other way to add USB MIDI input, such as through installing an app on ipad and emulating the driver from the MIDI device connected to a Windows PC, kindly let me know. Thanks a lot.
