Hi all. I'm embarking on a new project and would like to start off using the most efficient methods.. It's for controlling LIVE from my Ipad but that is actually not the point: I'm wondering how efficient API calls are through M4L, compared to midi mapping or Mackie HUI emulation.

What do you think would be the most efficient way for some of the following from my iPad using touchOsc?

1 iPad - osc connection - max for live - live.object

2. iPad sending midi notes as if a mackie hui - midi connection straight to LIVE - LIVE controlled through midi/mackie emulation

2. In live, midi map pitch to a midi cc, and send that midi cc from the IPad over a midi connection

1. Low overhead (I use this in live performances so can't afford any glitches)

Regarding the last point, doing everything through api calls from live will be the easiest way to keep my patches clean (as opposed to adding virtual midi connections to provide. Macie hui emulations) - but I'm starting to wonder if it actually introduces overhead, and if I'm better off using remote control scripts and controller emulations where I can.

***UNDO function

Or:

***Changing the pitch of an audio clip
1 iPad - osc connection - max for live - live.object
or:
2. In live, midi map pitch to a midi cc, and send that midi cc from the IPad over a midi connection

My criteria are:
1. Low overhead (I use this in live performances so can't afford any glitches)
2. latency / responsiveness
3. Ease of design and maintenance
