iPad won't connect to Macbook/Ableton in Bluetooth :/
I’m having problems connecting my iPad to my Macbook & Ableton. I can connect my iPhone just fine but not the iPad.
Audio Midi Setup detects the iPad device. But when I click connect it just looks for a little while and then won’t connect.
I tried creating a new Midi Setup Configuration but it didn’t help.
Anything else I could try?
I use ChordPolyApp to advertise the MIDI service.
Macbook OS Sierra 10.12.6 (upgraded recently)
iPad IOS still 9.3.5
Thanks for any help!!!

Have you tried using WiFi? Mine connects perfectly that way.
@MonzoPro thanks, is the latency ok for midi via wifi?
Yeah works fine for me. I use it to send MIDI data from iPad sequencers to Maschine and Reason on my Mac
I will try thanks
Would be nice still to find out why I can't connect in Bluetooth anymore, maybe I need to upgrade my IOS.
Have you got your sequencer/MIDI app active on the iPad? Mine doesn’t pick the iPad up until I load an app.
I found a workaround. It works for now, although I'm not sure I understand the logic
I advertise my Macbook from Audio Midi Setup and then I use Gadget Bluetooth MIDI to connect the 2 devices, even though I don't use Gadget, it allows my IOS MIDI apps to talk with Ableton. Seems to work, although quite a few steps to reconnect them every time.
KORG has a free app called "Bluetooth MIDI connect" that you can use to connect without running Gadget.
However, ChordPolyPad in "host" mode does already support connecting to BT MIDI devices, have you tried that?
I'd bet wifi is lower latency - with good signal. Bt being more portable, of course, when not easily in same network.
I usually get 3-5ms latency over WiFi with my iPhone and Windows PC. With the access point in the same room. I haven't tested it elsewhere in the house.
thank you all !
There's also this old Studiomux, always reliable.
@rs2000 thanks for the "Bluetooth MIDI connect" app, very handy.
If you’re able to do a wired connection just use the IDAM setup to get Midi routing working two way from iOS to macOS.
@echoopera oh nice, I didn't know this was available now.
In Audio Midi Setup I did find my iPad, I clicked enable (I can now select my iPad as an audio input in Ableton)
But it didn't create a midi configuration in the Midi Studio. And Ipad in and out MIDI doesn't show in Ableton's pref.
Any idea why that is?
My older 9.3.5 IOS maybe?
Yeah. IDAM is iOS 11 and above i believe.
Thanks @echoopera I gotta upgrade it seems
