Apple USB-C Digital AV Adaptador Multiport. Can I connect a Roland UM-1 USB/MIDI to this unit for sending MIDI PC and CC messages to guitar effects units from iPad Pro 12.9", 2020?

I am a a musician .Upgrading my music stand unit from iPad Air (Lightning Connector) to a new 2020 iPad Pro 12.9" (Thunderbolt connector). I run Onsong to send MIDI PC and CC messages to guitar processor units.

Can I connect Apple Apple USB-C Digital AV Adaptor Multiport to the iPad Pro and run a Roland UM-1 USM/MIDI adapter from the USB socket on the Multiport to send my MIDI signals? Thanks for any guidance.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell

Hello,


Firstly you would need to verify with Roland if this device supports iPad. Secondly, iPad does not have a Thunderbolt port. While Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C share the same socket size, they are two entirely different technologies.
