Analogika, you mentioned that you are using SetlistMaker in conjunction with MKS-70, etc. rig. Ok, so iPad can send MIDI via bluetooth. What device(s) are used to capture this bluetooth midi data stream and feed it to the MKS-70? I gather that the puck Max is talking about can do this (if not via bluetooth, via wifi), but you don't seem to use one of those, or?
The Mac hosts a wifi MIDI session. The editor running on the iPad connects to this MIDI session via wifi. The Mac routes the incoming data to the appropriate port on the wired USB MIDI interface to send it to the synth.

Just to clarify: this is in the studio. Live, I use the iConnectMIDI interface because I need wifi to connect to the monitor mixer for in-ear mix.

Just for the fun of guessing, I bet (a beer) that the MKS70 is connected via a wired (cable) MIDI to the computer (Mac) that receives the iPad MIDI messages and routes them to the MIDI cable... :)
Bingo.
