    I have a 30pin-Lightning adapter (one piece) that doesn't work for the Z1.
    Then I tried an apple lightning-USB cable adapter with the USB lead provided with the Z1. It works for audio only. lights on the mixer or functions from the faders or knobs.
    Looks like I have to fork out some more cash to get this working - hopefully an official apple 30pin-lightning cable adapter will work.
    Quite frustrating as it works with traktor pro perfectly but I got this for Traktor DJ

    Welcome.

    I know this is frustrating but my experiences from what I have bought and what I have read on the forums makes one thing very clear. Buy Official Apple adapters. (even though they are over priced).

    Buy cheap, buy twice (as they say).

    I will make a sticky regarding the correct Apple adapter.

    Hi,

    I bought an official apple adapter too, and my S4 / TraktorDJ doesnt work at all. :angry:
    I bought this new iPad especially for TraktorDJ, so that's very disapointing !

    Please help me!
    I've Traktor DJ for iPad and want to use it with Traktor Kontrol Z1.
    I work with a iPad 4th generation and use the lightning to 30-Pin adapter in original from apple. That adapter doesn't work with my ipad. I want to play my gig with traktor dj for ipad and the Z1 doesn't work.
    IOS 7.1. is installed allready.

    Thank you!

    So I just found a female USB to a TypeB USB cable. I'll re-post if it works or not.
    I get my Z1 tomorrow and that weird connection sometime next week.

    The female USB to Type-B won't work. There is no way around having to use either the solid one-piece 30-pin to lightning adapter, or the 20cm cable adapter.

    Until they finally release the actual lightning version this is the only solution. I personally use the 20cm cable version on my iPad mini and it works fine for the Z1 and S4.

    MD823ZM/A - solid adapter
    MD824ZM/A - 20cm cable adapter

    Any of you guys/gals tried to connect a keyboard (music) to an ipad2 (the new one with the lightning connector) via the following channels: usb a/b to 30 pin adaptor to lightning adaptor...in other words, is it possible to connect 2 adaptors together?
