How to connect:

Make sure your iPad and your computer are in the same subnet
Launch MiniControl on your iPad first
Launch Audio MIDI Setup in Application / Utilities
Open up MIDI Window
Double click on Network
Create a new session (or use current), select and connect your iPad to that session (you should use discrete network session for each MiniControl)
Launch your DAW and setup a new MIDI controller device with Mackie HUI protocol on the MIDI port with the session name configured in the last step for both input and output, never use “All inputs” or “All outputs”.

Please keep in mind that:

If you wish to use multiple iPads, create network sessions and MIDI controllers for each one of them
Multitasking Gestures shall be disabled if you want to control more than 3 faders simultaneously on one iPad
Because different audio workstation has its own way communicating with controllers, functionalities (especially automation displays and button combinations) may vary.
