Not according to the manual for SmartSDR for IOS, or did I miss read something.0

I messed with it briefly. You need USB adapter for your apple device and purchase the in app add-on for the midi.0

Thanks Larry
I found a Bluetooth PowerMate. It seems they are rapidly becoming not available or discontinued. Not for sale at Griffin either.
I found 2 on eBay for $19 each, and I bought 1. There is one left.

Powermate works well on my iPad portable setup. Enjoy!0

I, too, use a Bluetooth Griffin Powermate - lovely addition to SSDR for iOS on the iPad. I'm not sure the USB models are available, but I certainly had no difficulty (other than with my wallet :-) in acquiring a Bluetooth one.0

Anyone looking for an USB Powermate, they're available online from this company.

I don't think the corded one works on the IPAD / IOS, if I remember right I tried my corded one before I ordered the Bluetooth one.

Bret is right. I has to be Bluetooth. MIDI knobs should work but those are usually powered and corded.0

This is the Bluetooth version.

I use the Bluetooth Griffin Powermate knob with my iPad and with no issues whatsoever. It works very well indeed!
