It should work ok but it will drain the battery quickly. The Korg website recommends using a powered USB hub if you will be using it for an extended length of time.

I just picked up the Samson carbon 49 and it will work for hours off iPad mini.
I know they make a 25 key version you might want to consider. It is a great price also.

I've tried using powered usb hub and the camera connection kit,the micro key lights up but nothing else,is there something I have overlooked?

What app are you using? You might have to go into the settings/options for the app and select the device and midi channel.

The iMS20 is hard wired to MIDI channel 1 so there is nothing to setup for that app. There aren't any other settings I can think of. I don't have a microKEY myself so I can't try anything. Maybe you could try it on a PC to see if that works. Also try it without the USB hub.
