What is the simplest and most latency free way to send midi from my ipad to Ableton live via USB?
Do i need a ios app? I want to record midi from AUM into ableton live in real time.

What version of Windows are you using. If Windows 10, what about Bluetooth midi?
Mac = IDAM
Windows = studiomux
Yes I have windows 10. So there are options using Bluetooth?
What about midimux?
I believe the protocol was added as an update, I haven't tried it as I'm only on Win8, but if it's available I'd certainly give it a go, because I use Bluetooth midi from the iPad to external gear with really low latency.
Ok thanks man, I’m gonna look into it now! If unsuccessful I might give studiomux a try as suggested.
Thanks man, midimux lead me to studiomux and now I see your post.
If you manage to get it working let me know what it's like for latency, at a future date I may also use it, thanks. Also if the iPad app doesn't support Bluetooth midi a free app called Midimittr can route the midi from that app to Bluetooth.
I have studiomux running on five tracks going to five separate iPads. Midi goes out, audio comes back, gets processed and goes out through a stereo pair on an MX1. It’s pretty stable once you get your configuration and latency set right.
The only annoying thing (oh woe is me) I have to relink each instance of the Vst to the pads each time. Which could get confusing until I named and color coded the tracks.
Five ipads! That’s impressive. Now you mention it what latency are you working with and I assume you are working at 44khz 24bit?
I got Studiomux, got the vst in Ableton, i have the server on my desktop but Ipad does not see Ableton as a remote port, i emailed midmux a few times but they dont reply. Does anyone have some ideas on what i have missed?
Does iTunes recognise the iPad on your PC ? If not, that is the problem to sort out first. If it does, then I'm afraid i don't know what else to suggest.............sorry..............
Mr Iso, you are lucky you live in the internet or I would give you a big fat sloppy wet kiss! The issue was I had my lightening to camera connector still plugged in, when i checked itunes the ipad was not recognised because to use the camera connector you need it plugged into a power supply and not just into a usb slot via PC.
When i just used the lightening connector on its own itunes recognised the ipad and of course so did studiomux.
Many Thanks
Your most welcome
