Bottom line: The MeloAudio Lightning to MIDI Cable USB 2.0 Cable Lightning to Type B OTG High Speed Cord Interconnections Converter MIDI Keyboard, Audio Interface, USB Microphone, 5FT is a specs-and-price decision rather than a crowd-consensus one in the audio & midi category, priced around $7.99. Check the specification table above against one or two close alternatives — on price and spec fit, not on star ratings.

The MeloAudio Lightning to MIDI Cable turns an iPhone or iPad into the hub of your MIDI rig without a powered interface sitting in between. One end plugs into your Lightning port, the other into the USB Type B port found on most MIDI keyboards, electronic drum modules, digital pianos, organs, USB microphones, and audio DACs. The 5FT length gives you room to set a phone on a stand while the instrument stays where it lives, and the OTG wiring handles the host-side handshake so your instrument is recognized as a class-compliant MIDI device. MeloAudio builds the cable around tinned copper…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my iPhone and GarageBand?

Yes. It connects a Lightning-port iPhone or iPad to a USB Type B MIDI instrument, and MeloAudio lists GarageBand, FL Studio, Cubase, Pro Tools, Adobe Audition and Auria among supported apps.

Does it work with a USB-C iPad or iPhone 15?

No. This cable terminates in a Lightning plug, so it only fits Lightning-port devices. USB-C devices need a USB-C to Type B cable instead.

Do I need a separate power supply or camera adapter?

No. The cable carries OTG host wiring, so you plug it straight in without a Lightning-to-USB camera adapter or an external MIDI interface.

What kind of gear does the other end plug into?

The USB Type B square connector found on MIDI keyboards, electronic drum modules, digital pianos, electronic organs, USB microphones and audio DACs. It is not a 5-pin DIN MIDI connector.

What if my instrument isn't detected?

MeloAudio's guidance is to restart both the iOS device and the instrument, then reconnect with the cable. Check the product listing for current warranty terms.
