On an iPad Pro, will this adapter allow me to import a MP3 file from a USB thumb drive into GarageBand?
Our sound system at church allows me to record any audio from the system into a MP3 file on a USB drive or SD card. I'd like to pull these straight into GarageBand for podcast editing. Right now, I have to jump through numerous hoops to make this happen.

Does this adapter allow syncing of music and videos into their respective apps?

The description for this says if you add USB power to this, you can connect the iPad Pro to USB hubs, ethernet, etc. Docs of what these can do, please
The description implies that this provides a way to use ethernet and USB hubs and devices with the iPad Pro.
Where can we see documentation of what functionality is available this way. For example, does it mean you could put a USB hub on it, and plug an external RAID drive for storage?- Asked by Melvin M from Kamuela

Does it charge the ipad while you have peripherals connected? Will it send power to peripherals like a small class compliant midi controller? Thx.

AnswerIt does charge the iPad and power USB peripherals at the same time. As long as you use an iPad power adapter (12 watt) or Macbook USB-C with the USB-C to lightning cable you should be able to do both at the same time. As far as I can tell, the adapter prioritises powering USB peripherals over charging your iOS device, so if your USB peripherals use a lot of power, it may not charge your iPad as quickly as it normally would.
