If I want to use a USB keyboard to play ios apps via AUM routing the keyboard through ableton what is the most effective way to connect the iPad? Do I simply use the USB cord? Ableton Link? Sorry if this is an overly simple question.

    plug in ipad tomthe mac, go to the audio midi setup app on he mac, click enable on your ipad, set new ipad audio device as input in ableton, enable the new ipad midi port in ableton

    if you already are using an interface on the mac, you need to aggregate it with the ipad

    enable link to get bpm sync

    You can use wifi via the Midi setup on OSX assuming your on a Mac.
    You can use StudioMux(ios app) once setup whatever keyboard you
    have connected to Ableton can be used with ios.

    You can buy a iconnectivity device
    or as mentioned earlier FaceTime

    Specifically, I want to use my synth keyboard to play the Korg iM1. It's not USB class compliant.

    If it has regular 5-pin Midi ports, you can use a cheap USB to Midi cable. It's how I connect my KB controller to my iPad through the CCK. My KB controller has a USB port as well, but is not class-compliant either.

    I'm building sort of a complex electronic music ecosystem here so those ports are not free. :D

    It's ok I think I figured out a solution thanks to wellington's basic advice.

    Here it is! Thanks, I was looking for this info last week, but gave up and just plugged the headphone jack to the mic jack since hifi wasn’t needed.
    I just tried your method and works great, except the Ableton Link didn’t quite match. The tempos match and change together between AUM and Ableton, but the clicks are off by about a half beat. Anything special I need to do to get them perfectly on beat?
