mark, you seem (to me) oddly confused.

"if i was running ardour on a laptop doing sound reinforcement and
used it as a wireless controller"

what is "it"? when you later refer to "the PC" do you mean "the
laptop" ? if "it" is the iPad, then nothing need be done already -
just establish
the MIDI connection and ardour will interact with the AC7 and other
similar controllers. if "it" is ardour or the laptop, then i'm
confused what you mean ...

the ipad is likely to function as a very nice controller, no question.
but actually using it to record/play audio? its not impossible,
certainly, but its far from clear that its a properly designed
platform for this at present.
