I guess this makes clear how much info is available in the faq..

Otg cable = cable that can handle otg standard. E.g. Multiple usb devices.

Umcp2 is not listed... Only U-Mix Control Pro...

Audio via headphone.. To use cue a DJ splitter is needed. This splits l/r from device into l/l and r/r for output. So you have 2 mono out on each plug.
According to the faq when using Android L an external sound card may/will work... Not sure which of the options applies...

Powering.. Powered USB hub. Check the faq for link to vid.

An otg cable lets you connect something (usb stick or device) with your tablet without needing a PC ;)
This is an otg cable http://www.conrad.be/ce/nl/product/9867 ... ggest=true just check you've got the wright connector for your tablet ;)
Some info over otg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go

:idea: very helpful ,,been researching it ,,
so otg has the female socket to accept the male usb plug
:?: do you have to use a male/male usb connector to connect to the powered usb hub ,,
intent is to use U-Mix Control Pro 2 to control by MIDI,,
this is all speculative ,,as the umcp2 might not be mapped ,, seen different info on this ,, so its a 50/50 chance ,,don't need this if its a negitive ,,
will be getting a 32 gig micro sd card just out of reasoning that its will help out in the long run no matter what the use ,, thanks for the info ,,gotta say here thats a tough app ,,with the touch screen ,,
:idea: any idea on getting the installed samples to use with the PC version , ,, will try to figure out how to tranfer them :biggrin:

OTG cable has some intelligence to handle different devices connected. A normal usb cable has no intelligence.

do you have to use a male/male usb connector to connect to the powered usb hub ,,

Yes. all 'normal' usb connections are always male/male, as the equipment always is female. Extension of USB cable can be done but most cables loose power over its length, so you need high quality extension cable. Also be aware there are 3 basic types of usb cable: data+power (most), power only and data only.

The play store info states UMCP2... so you can get a refund if it doesn't work :D

Haven't checked were the files are, but most tabs can be connected to the PC and via explorer you can copy files.
