Chapter 6. Other Ways to Connect > Using the MIDI Protocol
6.3. Using the MIDI Protocol
With the arrival of the iPad and the camera connection kit (available from the Apple Store, http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A), it became possible to directly connect USB devices to the iPad (see Figure 6-6). While most USB-HID profiles are not supported, and the connector was originally intended only to allow you to transfer images from a connected camera onto your iPad, there is an interesting exception. The connector also allows your iPad to talk directly to USB MIDI devices.
