NetMIDI app from iConnectivity
Can be a useful app, even without the iConnectivity. Using this app, you can set up a network midi session from the iPad, instead of from the computer. (according to the iConnectivity guys, I've yet to test it)

And it's free
Great! I was interested in seeing how an iOS device could be used to initiate a network connection.
Not sure why I forgot about Apollo. I think the iConnectivity app has a bit more latency than Apollo.
Maybe not free, but MidiBridge has always been able to initiate Network MIDI connections.
Can NetMidi be used for connecting 2 IOS devices without the need of computer?(and without iconnectivity?)
I totally don't understand this...
is there actually an app that allows two iPads to communicate MIDI without using your wifi router? I'm pretty sure that all current options communicate "Network MIDI" over an existing router not directly iPad to iPad.
To someone who is convinced otherwise: please go turn off your router for a minute and test it to see if your Network MIDI session is still active between 2 iOS devices.
Apollo does over Bluetooth, so there definitely isn't a router involved.
You can create an ad-hoc network via a Mac easily without a network router - it's somewhat faster for Mac -> iPad network MIDI than going through a router. I found Apollo to be laggy. I'll have to try that again and compare with NetMIDI. I guess I'll have to try connecting a couple of iPad's via the MAC and use NetMIDI between them as a result and see if it's any faster.
OK, bluetooth and ad-hoc from Mac options make sense without a wifi router. But I thought @uglykidmoe was suggesting that the iPad could initiate an ad-hoc network... is that possible?
I believe you can set up an iOS to iOS ad hoc wifi with the iConnectivity app. With Apollo, a desktop isn't needed either but can be added.
Just tried it out and no love there. You have to have a router in place. You can connect to an ad-hoc created at a PC or Mac but iOS doesn't have the capability to create one via its settings.
I get very good playability, however. This is cool.
Yes sorry @Hmtx I didn't mean to imply mobile to mobile. I recall from a while back reading somewhere that given the current wifi chipset, it isn't possible. Not sure if this still applies to the latest generation
