Not sure on midi over usb out, but if you get a lightning to midi adapter, it will give you a aolid midi in/out and just use a midi out from the Live to send to ipad.
It works pretty good. I have two ipads - one goes on a dock with midi and audio i/o and then I have an iConnectivity lightning to midi adapter for my other ipad. I mostly use the 2nd one for Beatmaker 2 and sending multiple midi channels out to my Virus synth which is 16 part multitimbral. I open up empty keyboard instruments in BM2 and send the midi to the Virus. BM2 is great for sequencing external synths.
Beatmaker 2 is one of the few multitimbral capable apps.

So you can use Thor, Korg iOS apps, etc as a synth with the Mpc live? That's crazy, any list of must have synths?

I use my live with Korg gadget iPad with griffin studio connect. Each gadget can have separate midi channel . I also use live with Korg gadget on my mac by midi. Awesome combo.

The dock I have is a Griffin dock. Works like a champ.
Tons of great iOS apps that will sync or work as sound modules. You could also slave the mpc live to midi time clock and stayed synced with any of the multitrack apps. Auria and I believe Cubasis also have some synth plugins and can run as master.
Double touch screens, double battery capable with ipad and MPC Live.
Get something like an iLoud bluetooth and route the audio from one to the other, then have single output into the iLoud. 10 hour battery life on iLoud and thumps 40 watts rms with great dynamic range.

Just ordered a Korg PlugKey...https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PlugKey Takes MIDI out and brings audio in, should be good.
Animoog on theiPad is great synth. All around cool sounds.Lots of reproductions and romplers out there as well.
