Hi @AItheDJakaMT, unfortunately using multiple MIDI controllers simultaneously with Lightning port iOS devices is a bit of a challenge.

  1. The best adapter to use with Lightning port devices is the Genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter. If you’re only connecting one controller at a time to your phone, this it the one to get. Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter - Apple
  2. Unfortunately, this adapter only has 1 USB-A port, so if you want to connect both controllers at the same time this won’t work.
  3. There are some 3rd party lightning adapters with 2 USB-A ports, but in my experience, many of these are poorly made and very unreliable.
  4. If this is for your home setup and not a mission critical gig, then it might be okay.
  5. Purchase one with pass-through charging from a reputable supplier with good user reviews if you can.

I hope that helps!
