I've been using an Ipad with Lemur on it for a while now, and have been jailbreaking for some time, mostly in order to install a tethering app in order to get a direct MIDI connection over the 30 pin connector (1st Ipad), and most recently, my Ipad Air. Last night, after fiddling around with a few things, I noticed that even with the tethering program disabled I was still able to transmit MIDI over a direct, wired connection via Lemur - Traktor was picking it up fine. I was on 7.0.4, so I then took a chance of losing this capability and updated my Ipad to 7.1, and it still worked fine! Finally!!!
I tested the MIDI functionality with a Lightning Cable, a 30-pin cable with a Lightning Adapter, and a CCK - all worked perfectly - this makes me exceptionally happy to not have to hack the functionality into my Ipad anymore. Not sure of Windows currently as I'm on Mac and was able to get this set up directly through Audio/MIDI Connect, which is how I have set up this connection when I use it.
Has anyone else noticed this yet, if you are using an IOS device as a MIDI controller?
