Integrating the Roland JD-Xi into the iOS world?
Pros & cons? Anyone doing it? Needlessly redundant given the plethora of amazing apps? Great addition to rounding out the functionality of iOS apps because the Roland JD-Xi does things iOS apps can't, and visa versa ? If all one wants is a keyboard controller, there are much better choices for less? For the cost, you'd be better off buying a second iPad? I have no idea what I'm doing here, but I'll respond for the hell of it? Oh, I almost forgot I can buy a used Roland JD-Xi for $250 USD, and I own an iPad Air 2 128 and iPad Pro 10.5 512, as well as a bunch of other stuff, but I do not have an all-in-one mini keyboard synth.

I don’t think the JD-Xi’s took off into the popular market in the way that might have been expected. I had one- but only kept it for a short while. Roland do this patch site thing where you can get free patches for it- but it never seems to grow much. Why don’t you save up another few bucks and get a Microfreak?
Previously owned Novation X Station is a good choice. Class compliant audio/midi interface and a very nice sounding synth with full size keys. Pretty sure it can run off batteries too?
Edit: Yep batteries or USB will power it, can also use it as an effects unit!
Had one for a little while- great sounds and a really fast and intuitive sequencer, but the mini keys were just not fun to play, so that was a deal breaker for me.
P.s. this isn’t a criticism of mini keys per se (the keys on e.g. the Arturia mini lab II or the Yamaha reface series are decent); the JD-XI keys just feel cheap/easily breakable.
