I didn't need to connect to power. USB alone works fine for me to connect to lab. At least from my Mac. Also, make sure you are pushing the power button on the right side of the erae 2.
Thanks all but it's still showing disconnected.I have tried with the mini usb into the usb 3rd socket into my mini 3.0 usb midi socket on my laptop,and I've also tried the mini usb into my normal usb 2,o socket.It just doesn't change.I went into settings and routing and tried a few different ones but still nowhere.

I've just received my erae touch 2 and all I'm getting in the erae lab is disconnected.I've tried all the connections I can think of but have got nowhere.
