Adapted from this Windows tutorial…
It is much the same procedure but as the Mac speaks fluent MIDI there is no need to add anything.
Ingredients:
A Mac
Ableton Live
iPad
Lemur app
Shove template
ClyphX/Push folders
(Requires a RAR Unpacker if you do not have one)
Procedure:
Right click on the Ableton Live icon and select Show Package Contents
Drill down to the MIDI Remote Scripts folder
Rename the Push folder as Original_Push
Unpack the RAR file containing the ClyphX/Push folders and put those folders in the MIDI Remote Scripts folder
If your WiFi network is liable to interference/lag you should create an ad-hoc network. The video below just connects via the regular WiFi network.
In the iPad’s WiFi settings select your ad-hoc network if you created one
Start the Lemur app and load the Shove template from the Lemur editor on the Mac
In the Mac’s MIDI/Audio set up Utility select the Network button
Connect the iPad to the Session
Open Ableton Live and then its Preferences
Select Push and Cyphx as Input Devices and the network session as Input and Output
Shove away…

Hi, Duncan. I have a small problem with connecting my iPad Air. When I open MIDI Network Setup on Directory my iPad wont appear. And on Bonjour Name when I try to insert some text my iPad appears for 3 seconds and then disappears again. What should I do? Give a brother a hand. Thank you, Duncan.
Difficult to say from the information provided.
Try a simple connection to Garageband….

and see if that works.
Hey Duncan! wich ableton live version do you have?

Hi Bogdan,
I am having exactly the same problem as you have described. Did you manage to solve it and connect to your iPad via Audio MIDI setup? appreciate your help!
Hi Duncan, a few questions.
It works the shove with ableton 9.0.6???
Because mine it crashes every time I browse an instrument.
Any tip, thanks.
I have not had it working with Live 9.1.6 on Yosemite (10.10.1)
My tip would be to go with Touchable which works very well…
