Is anyone using this adapter? https://satechi.net/products/usb-c-pd-audio-adapter?variant=3344251558
Is it possible to connect a midi controller via this adapter?

Unfortunately, no. That doesn't provide a USB host port, just the USB-C Power Delivery port for charging.
I can really recommend this USB-C hub: Sitecom C-386. You can combine it with the Apple USB-C headphone dongle. A lot of the USB-C hubs with a headphone jack have got a terrible audio quality but the Apple dongle is quite decent. Moreover you can use the dongle also without the hub.
If you are like me and you don’t need HDMI, VGA, card reader etc. and prefer to go with USB-C this hub is a good choice. It has got 100W PD, three USB-C ports with USB 3.1 speeds and a very low power consumption. Many of these hubs with HDMI, card reader etc. consume a lot of power. I connect my midi gear with a chained USB-A hub. The only drawback of the hub is that it does not support display signals. If you connect a USB-C monitor through it, it will stay dark.
This is the approach I've taken. It lets you use the hub for devices without stealing audio, and as krassman says you can use the audio dongle without the hub for a smaller package.
It's really cool that we're finally seeing real USB-C hubs instead of ones that just provide USB-A ports. I can't wait to phase those out of my life entirely and slim down on my cable collection.
I recently bought this Satechi one. Very happy out the audio quality and connectivity compared to other ones around. But yes, the USB C is only for charging while connecting your cans.
That particular model seems to be out of stock everywhere. Do you think the CN-385 would suit the same purpose? The main difference is the 386 has the 100w PD. All I want to do is connect an OP-Z and wired headphones (via the Apple dongle) into my iPad Pro at the same time.

You can use the headphone out on the op-z. Then you only need a usb c to c cable.
Wow! Thank you so much. I had no idea the signal could pass through like that. I’m sure it’s completely obvious, but it never occurred to me to try it. Glad I asked. I’ll cut myself some slack and say it’s because I only recently got the OP-Z and an iPad without a headphone jack.
You also have to push some buttons on the op-z to monitor. Check the opz manual. It works since the op-z got to also be a usb soundcard.
Think it is rectangle button (on top) and 3.
Got it sorted. Thanks again! I’d been using the Bluetooth connection, but latency and the occasional disconnection were a little frustrating. This is exactly what I was after.
