Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

In a post on their forum. Actually, it says 8ms "at worst". Also, he mentions high-speed mode at 2ms, but this is only implemented currently on the drummer overlay, not the music production overlay that has the 4x4 grid. I believe it's mentioned in the API documentation as well, based on another post.
Note, this is on-device latency. That's on top of any BT latency.
Any knowledge about when the XPad will be available?
It's the portability thing then? I mean, there are other midi controllers with pads and knobs. I have an Akai LPD8 that's perfect. I also have a pair of BT midi connectors.
So, it's the portability thing, is it?
The biggest positive point about USB-C for me is that there's a lot less wear and tear on the ports with C. Hands up who plugs in their micro-usb cables first time, every time?
