just to jump in here, TouchOSC & Lemur will both output MIDI directly. you don't need to use OSC, so no translator required.
i have my iPad connected directly to my MPC:
iPad -> camera connection kit -> usb to MIDI cable -> MPC
the key is to get a usb to MIDI cable that is 'class compliant'. this means that it is 'plug and play'. no drivers required.
lots of compatible devices listed here:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/483514-REG/CME_Pro_U2MIDI_U2MIDI_USB_MIDI_Interface.htmlhighly recommended. has little LEDs in both ends of the connectors so you can physically see when/where data is being sent/received.
besides TouchOSC / Lemur, there are a number of synth/sequencer apps that will output MIDI directly. so you can use the onscreen keyboard and controllers in the apps to send MIDI to the MPC to record into your sequence. i don't even use a physical MIDI keyboard anymore.
3 great synth apps that every iPad should have:
SynthX - my favorite controller for outputting notes / velocity.
Animoog - incredible sounding synth engine with unique interface & programmability.
Polychord - best for composing melodies.
one of the key factors for me with these apps is that they all have the ability to constrain your notes to a chosen key/scale/tuning. so even if you don't have any traditional musical training or piano playing chops (which i don't), you can still compose and play complex and fluid melodies that all stay in tune. it's impossible to hit a 'wrong' note with these and makes it easier to come up with melodies that you might otherwise never have come up with.
