Can confirm these sort of work on my iPhone 7 Plus. When I plug it in, my Photos app comes up, however it’s no clear way to access the HDD of my MPC Live. Maybe I need to download an app or something...

Phone would be seen by a computer as a slave usb device.
Live would be seen by a computer as a slave usb device.

One HAS to be host.

I see now... Don’t think it’s any way around that. It looked so simple in the video.

Can confirm that DATA TRANSFER does work on iOS 13. Put the MPC Live into controller mode and the my MPC Live’s HDD popped right up on my Files app.

I am using an iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 13.

Told you, one had to be host and other slave and it would work.

Just to answer my own question: Yes. On the iPad, Apple Files App, Documents by Readdle, FE File Explorer Pro see the SD card and the 1TB HDD installed in my Force.
Windows 10 laptop sees the same as well.

And for those interested,
Force Audio + MIDI over USB on the iPad and a Windows 10 laptop:

Audio Inputs into DAW: 'Force Audio 1+2', 'Force Audio 1', 'Force Audio 2'.
Audio Outputs from DAW: 'Force Audio 1+2', 'Force Audio 3+4'.

MIDI Input Ports: 3. The one named 'AKAI Pro Force Public' is sent from the Force's 64 pads. (There are 2 other MIDI ports, but they don't do anything afaik; maybe they're for Ableton Live integration).
MIDI Input Channel: Currently the Force's 64 pads only send on Channel 10.
MIDI Output Ports: 3, again. Use 'AKAI Pro Force Public'.

Force's 64 pads: Top row: F#2 - C#3; Bottom Row: D7 - A7. Velocity-sensitivity is sent. Didn't test aftertouch.

DOCUMENTS by Readdle is the shit!
It replaced several other apps AND does the job better than they did.
