Thanks a lot for this!<p>I&#x27;ve done this before manually to convert an Arturia Minilab MkII into a wireless MIDI controller. Turns out there&#x27;s enough space inside the Arturia to fit a Pi Zero W and a flat Lithium-Ion battery.<p>I can now use GarageBand on my iPad, MacBook and iPhone without always having to connect a USB-C hub or camera adapter.

Oh, man, I&#x27;m glad you cracked this. I spent days getting the Neuma stuff to work and I think I finally got it sorted out, but it was such a bear that I didn&#x27;t bother sharing it with anybody else.<p>My own use case for this is that my main synth tool is my 2nd gen 12&quot; iPad Pro, but I hate having to deal with the Camera Connector and the irritating fact that it won&#x27;t recognize my higher wattage USB-C power adapter and USB-C to Lightning cable. So if I want to use it for any length of time I have to use the factory power wart, which actually loses power if I&#x27;m running the iPad at full brightness and using a lot of CPU on synthesis. Which makes it really annoying to work on stuff for long periods, and I can&#x27;t plug in my iRig Pro and a synth unless I&#x27;m using a powered USB hub.<p>But this is great. I can just keep the Pi running and hooked up to the synth, even power it off a USB power pack for doing stuff on the go. Thanks for sorting this out!

Thanks for checking out my weekend project everyone!<p>All credit due to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;neuma.studio&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;neuma.studio&#x2F;</a> who blessed me taking their guide and wrapping it up into a small Python script.<p>My next step is to see what other devices I can run this on. Looking for the smallest device with USB host capabilities, Bluetooth, WIFI and Debian !

How would&#x2F;could this work with, say, an analog synthesizer that accepts MIDI?
