    No, I'm not aware of any iPad software they would work with.

    I would expect the soundcard to work as it is class compliant. And you can set both devices into midi mode. But then the displays and LEDs are not addressable.

    But you can combine them and use them with Traktor Pro 4, which is available on Mac OS and Windows.

    Please do not create duplicate discussions!
    I deleted the "ipad" one.

    About your question:

    On a computer, yes you can.
    On Ipad, i have no idea, but i assume this it depends on your USB ports. If you have 2 free ports, then probably you can connect both… Why you don't just try it?

    If you use an active USB hub, they should get enough power. But there is still no program that supports them. I checked Djay and the iOS list does not have the z1 or x1 on it.

    Do you have any program on iOS that support midi mapping?

    Try Pockit midi to inspect both unit.

    https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pocket-midi/id1260936756?mt=12

    Ensure both units are in MIDI mode first.

    Pocket MIDI is just a simple program to see if the iPad gets any midi signals from the device.

    I think you get into midi mode on both device my pressing Shift + mode button at the top.

    @Kami. Did you get to try the Z1 mk2 and X1 mk3 with the iPad?

    I have them both, and an iPad 10th gen (usb-C port) and it Traktor DJ won't recognize either one of them… I also tried Midi Mode on both, and no luck.

    Try with an active / powered USB Hub. USB class-compliant devices should work though a USB Hub.

    @djjcnavarro i havent receive my z1 mk2 yet :-(

    but i assume this is how it works… try this

    z1 mk2 ⇒ ipad ( traktor dj 2 ) that will work fine

    … but hooking x1 mk3 to ipad will be tricky because z1 have no power so need to get connect to x1 first and x1 to ipad… i am not sure if that works

    @kami Z1 mk2 wont' work with Traktor DJ 2…. Neither does X1 Mk3.
