Cheapest way to connect my ipad2 to midi-usb?

[Hippie]

I'm not noticing any latency or dropped messages.

The only problem I have is a known Traktor one, when selecting FX it sometimes slurs the audio.

Using 2 of these

and 2 of these to join them together

You could snip the midi connectors off and join the wires instead tho if you're not going to use the cables for anything else.

I believe Nem0nic and others with midi connectors on their hardware like the Audio8 are just using 1 USB to midi lead

Thank you so much hippie
One last question
Can your ipad be charged over usb using these cables adapters and all?

[Hippie]

No - the slot is in use by the camera kit.
I don't know if there's a special camera kit that allows for charging but the standard ones don't. Some of the 5 in 1s say that the mini USB port is for data and charging but I've not got a high powered USB port to test whether they mean that it's for charging the iPad or the device connected to the mini USB and suspect it's just a bad translation in the item description anyway tbh.

roger that,
I need to remember to charge the ipad before the set then :P
