So, I hope you guys can help out, because I'm a little lost...
My son has an iPad 9th gen. He really wants to make music, so my dad gave him a MPD 218. Men, really great looking controller. Love the pads, even tho I'm used to the 2000XL/2500. Anyway, he uses Beatmaker 2 and I've installed iMPC Pro 2 (looking great!).
Now comes the problem. I've bought a camera connection kit, to connect the MPD to the iPad. It lights up, but nothing works. Did a lot of troubleshooting:
- MPD works fine on my computer
- MPD with camera connection kit works fine on my iPhone, even without holding the note repeat button when connecting, as recommended for iOS usage
- MPD with camera connection kit doesn't work on the iPads of my other children (all 9th gen)
- Camera connection kit works on my iPhone to load battery when power cable plugged in, but doesn't load the iPad
- Updated the iPad to iOS 17
So, the bank leds light up, but the pads don't work neither they light up. When I connect to my iPhone, everything works instant. I've got an iPhone SE2. Tested it with my wives iPhone 12 pro max, same problem as with the iPads. On my own iPhone, I can even plug in and then open the MPC app, although they recommend to first open the app. So everything is really plug-and-play and easy to connect, as I'm used to.
Anyone a suggestion what to do so my son can use the MPD with his own iPad? This is the camera connection kit I've used: https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B09YQF43Q9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Thanks in advance!
