Hi guys,

I'm stuck at the very beginning of my project, and for some reason I can't find this noob-level info to help me with the stuckage...

What I want to do
I want to turn Teensy 3.6 into a USB host for MIDI devices.
The idea is to turn Teensy on, connect a MIDI controller over USB, and get MIDI messages from it.

What I did
I connected the Teensy to the pc (powering it on). I connected MIDI controller to the 4 pins of "USB Host" on Teensy (5V, DM, DP, GND) assuming that DM=D- and DP=D+. I set board in Arduino IDE (1.8.7) to Teensy 3.6, and "USB Type" to MIDI. Compiled and uploaded code successfully

What happened
Midi controller didn't power on.

What should I do? Should I do something with H/D usb power pads on Teensy? Teensy was connected through USB3 port (so, power-wise, it should have enough current for powering the controller).
Is there something else that should be done before you can use Teensy as USB host?
