Does anyone know what app is running on the ipad he uses to launch/trigger different parts of the pre-recorded songs?

It's quite visible around the 7:20-7:30 mark

I assume there is is also some kind of midi clock sync going on

If I'm not mistaken I think it could be a custom app they got developed specially, think I remember them talking elsewhere, which was developed further from Lemur and Liine Griid.

Pretty sure it's a custom interface made with "Sonic Logic".

The iPads sitting in Behringer iStudio docks. They're probably iPads 2, because those docks use 30 pins connectors.

Yep your correct.

The duo Orbital, formed of brothers Phil and Paul, has been active since 1989 and is truly a legend of techno and rave music. They contacted Liine in early 2012 for some help preparing their upcoming live tour. Gareth and Etienne from Liine traveled to Orbital's studio and spent a week brainstorming and developing custom software. The result is four linked iPads running the Griid app, with a fifth iPad running Lemur. Liine provided the following services:

On-site support
Custom builds of Griid
Custom Mac app for network routing
Lemur programming

Bespoke software, that’s baller!

I wonder if they paid much out of pocket, seems like something the app company would be interested in doing for their own r&d and promotion as well.
