Anyone using this combo successfully? Just looking for some assurance before purchasing the adaptor and iRig. Thanks!

If you plan to connect your iPad/iPhone to your Volca using IK's iRig MIDI and you are using the Lightning adaptor to convert the 30 pin connector on the iRig MIDI make sure that you use the official Apple Lightning adaptor. Why? Because many of the cheaper alternate brand adaptors don't provide the full set of required connections. Most of the cheaper ones are fine if you just need to connect to a charger or an audio docking station BUT they don't pass through the data connection needed for the MIDI signals. I found this out myself the hard way! I thought I could save money by buying a cheap non-Apple Lightning adaptor but it was a waste of time so I returned it and bought the Apple one. It worked fine then.
