The duet does charge the device, just make sure it's the model that says for iPad and Mac.
Fair point...but it's also $600.
Yes is 600 but you pay for a really quality audio....I like the Duet but I spend all my money on analog hardware synths :-(
Exactly...a couple hundred for a dedicated interface I can justify, but $600 cuts way too far into the budget for more fun gear. I know Apogee are the tits, but I can't justify spending that much when the only thing I lack is a way to charge the iPad. I'll just continue trying to keep the battery full until Focusrite or someone else comes out with a decent interface that meets all these needs at a better pricepoint.

Might be wrong, but it sounds like what you're describing is the upcoming iConnectAudio 4+
The iConnectAudio is closest to what I'd like, personally, although I'm not holding my breath for its release any time soon.
NI Audio2 charge the iPad for 100 bucks but is buggy with iOS 8 and have no lightining :-(

They have a prototype out already. They are getting better with keeping the public updated on their dev and manufacturing status on their FB page.
I myself will be selling my iConnectMIDI 4+ once the Wej (or something similar) comes out. The original design for the 4+ would have allowed you to connect a USB-compliant audio interface to the port on the back, but they changed the design (and admitted to it later) to support only MIDI devices (it's not a true USB host port). So there went my idea of (a) using the 4+ for MIDI connectivity, audio-passthrough and charging and (b) being able to connect my Apogee One via the USB port on the back of the 4+ and use it as my audio interface.
With the Wej, I can keep my Apogee One connected to my iPad (and charge it) and send BLE from my QuNexus and whatever else. Apollo is really responsive so I'm hopeful that a hardware-based solution will be even more robust.
I received an email from Retronyms this morning promoting Wej as "A perfect companion for iMPC".
I was at once amused and befuddled. I wasn't used to receiving any news about iMPC enhancements from them. After reading it I had to ask them about the status of the iMPC problems they were supposedly working on and in particular the lack of export capability:
to Retronyms -
A perfect companion to iMPC? Really? No, a perfect companion would be the missing project/kit export capability that was included in the original iMPC but missing from the 'Pro' version. You claimed that although that was a listed feature during the build-up prior to the release of iMPC Pro that due to changes in the file structure that feature was not ready in time. Here we are nearly 4 months later and that key feature is still missing. I cannot fathom why Retronyms doesn't realize how important file compatibility with the other MPC products is, but the Wej is not something that would be useful at this time. FYI, just as a proof of concept I was able to implement the same functionality using an old iphone, small passive hub and Apollo Bluetooth Over MIDI. I have requested to Akai that they attempt to rectify this egregious omission by having their desktop MPC programmers implement an iMPC Pro Import function. It is a shame that Retronyms has once again dropped the ball yet promotes something as frivolous as this and expects already disparaged customers to foot the bill.

to me, Retronyms
Thanks for the feedback. This is something that is currently not planned however I think this is a great idea and it is something that we may add to iMPC Pro in the future.
Regards,
Eric
So, in summary why should I or anyone trust and support Retronyms? This latest experiment has dubious value at best. To link it to a product that they have abandoned in the past and are showing strong signs of abandoning in the near future is a clear slap in the face and shows a level of arrogance that many in this forum have pointed out. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but this takes the cake. Some may say well its only one feature. That is true but it is a feature that was included in the original app.(which was abandoned) and promised in the new "Pro" app. and now that they have received payments from us customers they have backed off and said 'nahhhh, we've moved on to other projects'. I won't even begin to talk about how they weaseled and waffled at the whole Audiobus implementation. That is a whole 'nother ball of wax.
