USB power and charging for iPad

Hi everyone, I hope it's ok to post this here. I'm building a live rig consisting of an Alesis V mini 25 and an iPad running NS2. I want to be able to charge the iPad, and provide a powered USB port for the Alesis. Does anyone know if something like this exists? I've got a lightning to USB adapter, but it doesn't allow for the iPad to charge. Thanks in advance :)

    Ah, just found this at Amazon:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07F36D4MT/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AT1OF6CSKTVSW&psc=1

    It will give me a USB port to which I can connect a powered hub for the Alesis, a headphone jack for audio out, and a passthrough lightning connection for charging the iPad :sunglasses:

    You got a watch out for those aftermarket USB lightning adapter chargers, there’s a good chance it might not work as good as the Apple one.

    In case you decide to buy it, let is know if there no issues (holding fingers for seamless run)

    Thanks guys. It has good reviews so hopefully will work well. Even if it’s just a cheap POC to then invest in the more expensive Apple unit if necessary. I’ll report back once it has arrived :)

    Well it works perfectly! I had to use a powered hub for my Alesis controller, but in combination with the adapter I posted above, it all works perfectly. I can charge the iPad, and use my USB controller, and use the audio output on the adapter too. So I've done the only sensible thing and built a live rig out of Lego B)
