The set up I'm trying to get to work is the following...
an ipad pro docked on a Focusrite itrack Dock with:
A microkey air 61
A nanokey studio
A nanokontrol studio
I don't think the microkey air 61 is compatible with the Focusrite in the sense that I will have to power that separately with a USB port (with the other two devices also connected) which is powered by a 5v plug. What concerns me is that I had a microkey 61 (non-air version) and I could NOT power it unless via a PC and I'm worried the air is the same (and just want to check before I buy one). If I CAN power the air and hook it up to the ipad via USB midi Bluetooth then it's problem solved so I really could do with knowing if a microkey air 61 can be powered by anything other than a PC?
Many thanks

Cheers, I now have the microkey air can get it powered with batteries and via a PC connected USB but not a USB hub or phone charger...which is weird as I'm using my nanokey studio with a phone charger (but not my nanokontrol studio as the appallingly flimsy micro USB slot broke after about 2 days!)slug wrote:Maybe just use the MicroKEY Air USB input for power from a phone charger etc and use bluetooth connection to the iPad?
From memory iOS support was added with MicroKEY2 range (which includes Air).
