Hi all
Have finally bit the bullet and obtained an iPad (4th gen) to connect to my trusty Clavinova with the intention of upgrading the sounds and doing some low grade music tech. But having never owned an apple product before, and with my last forays into music technology being in the 90s, I'm totally bewildered by what I need.
I will be running my clavinova to the iPad via midi through an alesis control hub and camera connection kit, with powered monitors plugged into the control hub.
Will then be using korg module and/or igrand. Firstly, is there any reason why this won't work??
Secondly, and where my confusion really lies, can anyone please recommend an app which will let me import midi files, rearrange them a bit, change the instruments to something palatable to the human ear, silence certain tracks ie the piano parts, and play along with them as backing tracks? If cubasis or similar is the answer then where do the general midi sounds come from? Is this sampletank or some thing like that? Or am I on the wrong page entirely....?
Sorry for the long first post, would appreciate any help that may be offered.

As above, I did not respond earlier because had little experience to help - my wife is an amateur musician and years ago I setup her portable keyboard w/ a MIDI connection to our then PC Windows computer - assume she wanted to do what you are trying to achieve w/ the iPad.
