That's a great find! Wish i'd seen this before I got mine. Working with a case would be a big help.
What a maze. I’ve done a lot of research here and elsewhere and can’t come up with what should be simple. So, I turn to the forum, as always, for reliable advice. Here’s the setup:
iPad Pro 2018
Novation LCXL
Arturia KeyLab MkII
Beringer self-powered audio interface
All connected, with USB-c power, with a adapter. It took awhile to assemble but it works beautifully.
So now I go and complicate thing by getting an Artiphon (on order), requiring one more USB port. And I just can’t find something with 4 usb 3.0 ports and power input for the iPad.
I could swap out the Arturia, but I need those 16 knobs!
Any guidance would be appreciated.
You can add an unpowered USB 3.0 hub. Just connect it to one of the USB ports on your existing dock. You may already have one if you've been doing this for a while.
Added a 2.0 hub that provided a brilliant light show on the Novation but little else. Kinda hoped to keep things tidy but it looks like the extra 3.0 is the way to go. But its just odd that you can get all manner of usb/hdmi/sd configurations—not to mention plenty of 3-port usb and usb-c power in hubs—but no 4 usb and power. Thanks @uncledave .
I expect the larger market is for laptop docks. I mean, USB is so last century. Maybe MIID 2.0 will finally blow our niche away.
It is likely that a 4 port usb hub wouldn’t have managed to power all 4 things anyway. So it’s not the question that you’re using a passive hub off the other hub but that you’ve crossed the threshold of available power.
I’ve used a passive hub connected to a powered usb c hub to connect several controllers but none of them was a power sucker as a launchpad would be. I recently measured power consumed by several controllers I own and launchpad x came ahead of all by a fair margin. BopPad, Akai midimix, nanokontrol no 1 and Actition foot pedal drawing the least power.
If you’re getting an Artiphon instrument one, it works well over Bluetooth midi if you want to forego the cable?
I use mine with either a Yamaha ud-bt01 dongle and usb battery, or via an old phone (5s) with a CCK and midimittr. I believe a Zivix Puc+ would also do the job, though I don’t think that the Puc or the Yamaha are still being made, so they might take some finding.
