    Default Ipad Compatible Midi Devices / DJ controllers

    After spending hours trawling through garbage looking for a "reasonable" exhaustive list of midi devices that are ios7 compatible so - one central repository for iPad compatible controllers, more specifically for controllers that do not mention it in their product blurb but may actually work regardless.

    If you managed to get it working - did everything function, what idevice did you use, what connector kit and was there a need for Powered Hubs etc ...

    I have successfully used the following controllers with an iPad and the DJ Player app via the Apple camera connection adapter. I was using a powered hub since I was also using a soundcard, but I think they would all work without if connected directly to the iPad.

    Good start - Could you elaborate on which iPad as well as it appears the iPad Air for example draws more power while charging that other iPads and can knock out midi devices.

    Great thread!

    Here is my question, since the new Audio 2 and Kontrol Z1 from NI are both Class Comp. Has anyone used them with DJ Player?

    Also, I have been looking for a a usb B to thunderbolt cable ( no adapter) but I have had little luck.....does anyone know if it exists?? Can these be made?

    Thanx!!!!

    You mean Lightning as opposed to thunderbolt I assume ? So far as I know these are not, and will not be made available due to the licensed chips required on the Lightning side of things and Apple being very selective on third parties they license them to.

    Is here DJ software on the ipad that supports mapping class compliant controllers then?

    In theory my vci300 is class compliant. I will have to test it but I know for sure iPad Traktor won't speak to it...
