I hope this hasn't been addressed elsewhere. I bought iRig Keys for use with my Windows notebook. So far, so good. Then, I decided since I had a 4th-gen iPod Touch, I would try the keyboard with it. That works too, so far, but my iTouch loses its charge fairly quickly with the keyboard attached and SampleTank running (it's old and always plugged in to AC); maybe 1.5-2 hours.

So my question is this, not being an iDevice person: Is there some device or adapter available that will let me connect the iRig Keys to the iTouch while supplying AC power to the iTouch?

This will, but it's not cheap. You can connect all three if you want.

You might try attaching both your iTouch and the iRig to a powered USB hub - then they'd both get their juice from the hub. A quick google didn't turn up anything confirming or denying that approach with the iRig, but I've seen that it works with other portable USB keyboards and iDevices:
