iTrack Dock is also equipped with a USB MIDI port, allowing you to connect it to Class Compliant
USB MIDI controllers of various kinds. This permits other music apps – such as sample libraries
and synthesisers – to be played by a MIDI-equipped keyboard or pad-based controller. Novation's
Launchkey and Launchpad apps are available to you to download and use once you have registered
the product.

Docking your iPad

The iTrack Dock's bay is designed to accept both "full-size" iPads and smaller form-factor devices
such as iPad minis. The only electrical connection between the dock and the iPad is the male
Lightning™ connector on the left-hand side of the bay. You will note that this connector can be
moved vertically up and down a slot; this is because of the different sizes of iPads supported, and the
consequent difference in mating connector location.
iPads and iPad minis also differ in thickness; for this reason we have supplied a rubber mat to
support the thin-profile devices (iPad mini, iPad mini with retina display, iPad Air).
To connect your iPad to the iPad Dock, simply place it in the docking recess – with or without the mat
as necessary - and align the Lightning connector with the socket on the left-hand side of the iPad.
Gently engage the iPad's socket with the connector – don't force it!

Power considerations

The iTrack Dock is powered by the separate 12 V DC PSU supplied with the unit. While your iPad
is docked, it will be both powered and charged from the iTrack Dock, provided the iTrack Dock is
switched on.
Note that it is not possible to power the dock from the iPad; the dock will only work if its external PSU
is connected and the unit switched on at the rear panel.
The iTrack Dock is also able to provide power to a Class Compliant USB MIDI controller connected to
the USB MIDI port, subject to current limitations – please consult the manual for your MIDI controller
to check its power requirements. Some MIDI controllers will require a separate PSU.
