You need an apple lightning to USB adapter like this

You can then just USB directly into the Kronos using USB A to USB B (like you'd use to connect a printer to your computer).

What if I connect lighning cable to adapter usb A to usb B? That would be cheaper for me...

I've just tried it - doesn't work! I suspect it has to connect to the Kronos via the B connector, although if anyone has succeeded in trying this I'd be keen to find out.

You need the adapter. It won't work the other way. It's an ipad limitation, not the Kronos.

New problem!!
I bought usb adapter and connected with kronos. And everything was working good.
But, I usually connect my kronos with nord via midi out and in, so I wanted when i change song in Setlist maker that it change the program on kronos and kronos send via midi cable program change to nord. Point is, that kronos send change to nord when i change the program on kronos, but when they are both connected to midi, kronos doesnt receive anything from setlist maker. What should I do? Thanx

It's unclear from you description exactly how you've hooked things up.

It doesn't work - I've tried it! You cannot get program changes to go via USB to the Kronos, and then out to another keyboard via MIDI.

I got it to work in 2 ways:

1) Connect a MIDI interface to the iPad via the USB Lightning Adapter and run separate MIDI feeds to each keyboard from that MIDI interface. I got the MIDI interface to power off the iPad too! The only disadvantage is you can't select patches numbered above 127.

2) Connect a powered USB hub to the USB Lightning Adapter and run a separate USB cable to each board. This is what I'm doing, and I tested it live last night for the first time ever - works a treat!

Thanx, but I dont have a mini interface... Only a usb lightning adapter.
What if set kronos to send a program change to nord and a setlist maker? If i click on kronos setlist some song program, kronos send program change to nord and to setlist make?

Where are you from? There might be somebody here who speaks your language and can make it easier for you.

Good luck! I hope you get what you are trying to do to work for you.

Can I connect kronos with Nord and with Ipad via usb cable to send program change to nord and to setlist maker from kronos? Thank you

Not sure. Either way you're going to need a MIDI interface, or a powered USB hub connected to the USB adapter in order to have 2 keyboards running with Set List Maker.
