Can this be used to connect CME Xkey midi mobile keyboard to iPad mini 2?
Manufacturer(CME) say yes, but I'm still not convinced after all it is a camera usb adapter. Apple sell Xkey in USA but not UK so I'm not getting too far.

Best Answer:I just bought the CME x-key to be used with my iPad Air. Using it with the USB adapter (Lightning to USB Camera Adapter), it works flawlessly with Garage Band on both Mac Pro computer (v.10.6.8) and iPad Air.
I don't see why it wouldn't work with the iPad mini, but I'm not an Apple specialist.
Hope this helps,

Best Answer:No, the device that plugs in to the USB must be a powered device, example a digital camera powered on will initiate the choice of photos to import to your ipad etc.

Is there anyway to charge and use this simultaneously? (I was thinking of using this as usb audio in)
The old 30 pin kit allowed you to use it as an input for usb audio interfaces. I thinking of trying this with this new one. Only question is, would there be any way to charge the ipad while doing this?

AnswerNo. That's why the new lightning to HDMI port has a lightning connector port for power on the same adapter.

Best Answer:
I've tried it with a newly bought SanDisk Dual USB Drive 16GB on iPhone 5S and it gives me the error message "Cannot Use Device USB2.0-CRW: The connected device requires too much power." Tried with other type of USB flash drive and gives me the same error.
