What USB hub or kind of setup do you use for to MOTU M2 and iPad?
I figured out how to use the M2 interface on my computer, but I am not sure how to get it working on my iPad. I want to feed my Hydrasynth Explorer and Meris Polymoon into it, and I heard that you need a powered USB hub for the M2. It seems like some of the best options on Amazon are expensive.

Does your iPad have a USB-C or Lightning port? The requirements strongly depend on that.

My iPad Air 3 used lightning
I have a 3, which uses lightning.
OK. For a Lightning iPad, you need two things: a USB adapter, and a powered USB hub. We generally recommend the Apple USB 3 Camera Adapter. It has a Lightning power input connector beside the USB port, so you can power/charge your iPad while using it. I'd avoid the gimmicky 3rd-party adapters that include SD card readers, video, and other stuff you're not likely to use.
Then, there are lots of hubs. I use this Atolla model. It's nice because it has a separate 2.4 Amp charging port, just right for the iPad power. There's a lot of variety in these, depending on number of ports, etc.
I own two lightning camera adapters, so thank you for that!
