Yes, you need the Lightning-to-USB 3 adapter from Apple (digitec item 5718376). It is important that you supply the MPK with power via this adapter, because the iPad itself only provides little power for external devices at the Lightning port.

Maybe someone can help me further. I play the piano and would like to have drums as accompaniment. Does the MKP Mini offer the possibility to compose drum rhythms and then play them back, so that I can play my piano melodies to them? Besides drums, I am also interested in the many other sounds, such as string instruments.

A similar question has already been answered in detail by @lustig12. To summarise briefly: The MPK Mini is purely an input device and has neither its own "intelligence" nor does it produce sounds. It only serves to operate suitable software (sequencer, DAW, sampler etc.) on your PC or Mac more comfortably than via mouse/keyboard.
