Using Launchpad with a powered hub on the ipad?
I have a lightening to usb connector this does not have a port for charging. If I use something an atolla Powered USB 3.0 Hub 20W, 7 Multi USB Data Ports can I use this with my existing camera connection kit with the Launchpad Pro? Or will I still need another connection kit with the external power port?
Many thanks in advance.

To power/charge an iPad/iPhone, you need the Apple USB 3 Camera Adapter, with the Lightning power port alongside the USB port. The iPad/iPhone does not receive power from the USB connector. Your powered hub will power any connected bus-powered devices.
Thanks for your prompt reply. So theorically the Launchpad will draw its power from the usb hub?
Practically , yes , the Launchpad will get the juice needed from the powered hub
Certainly. That's what "powered hub" means, that it can power attached USB devices. Mine is powering everything, including 2 iPads.
Brilliant! May I ask what you use?
Cheers just what I need to know. Think I will go with the Atolla powered hub. Cheers again. I love this forum so many helpful musicians.
If you need a hub simply for the Launchpad ,maybe consider buying a cheaper powered hub and invest on an Apple CCK3 to charge your iPad ...
Wait a minute , does the Launchpad Pro have a power supply ?

It says that there is no need for a powered usb hub, but I assume it's for the Original not MK3
Launchpad X and Pro don’t have power inputs and they require more power than lightning iPads will allow unless you supply power through a cck or hub.
There are 2 versions of Launchpad Pro , the new one called MK3 and the old called Original...
The old one (original) has 12V input .
Hope it makes it clear
Actually, it's the one you mentioned, Atolla 20W 7 port. It retired a handful of other adapters.
Yep like me just an old one. lol
You sir are 'Original' !
But which launchpad do you have ?!
Yes! Just tried your wait a minute and it works. Obviously ipad is charging but Launchpad works in this mode. Works fine with the Launchpad app on ipad. It will work Orange program mode but I am now strugling to get a feedback iluminated light from the Launchpad when using Atom. Thanks for your help
Does Atom support feedback to the controller? Every controller is different, so the app has to specifically support it. LK has been progressively implementing these interfaces.
Are you using the CCK with or without power? My Launchpad x works with my Apple CCK but only ic power is supplied to the CCK VIA lightning
How is the ipad charging ? You mentioned you have the lightening to usb connector that does not have a port for charging ...
As for the Launchpad , you must wait for the developer or someone else ,to write a script for Atom and Launchpad Pro Original (not mk3)
Ah, it needs a script, everytime I seem to get close, I move little further away. Rats. Thanks for your help
Not sure what you mean by "a real plug". Mine works fine powered with the Apple power adapter that came with my iPad
I stand corrected. I just tried tried with a bunch of Apple power adapters and they didn’t work. I guess I mostly have been powering it from my MacBook Air’s USB powered or had it connected to a powered hub.
Yes.
Watch this:
This is brilliant. However, this only seems to work for the Launchpad Pro MK3.
Should the script inside Atom2 work for all Launchpads. If so I must be doing something wrong in my setup. There are 3 exposed Midi Ports in AUM once Launchpad Pro is plugged into the ipad. Which if any of these ports need to be dirrected to Atom? Thanks in advance
The currently supported controllers are Launchpad X, Mini Mk3, Pro Mk3, with more underway. For the more adventurous, you can add a custom script to integrate with your controller, but that’s pretty advanced stuff. Happy to help if you have coding skills.
Rats, I figured that was the problem. Will new scripts be added in the future to support us “oldies”?
Or a dedicated patchstorage or simular?
Cheers again for your help
