Problem wirelessly controlling/playing iOS synths in Sonar X3 using rtpMIDI

So I've setup a wireless MIDI network utilizing Bonjour and rtpMIDI so that I can control/play my iOS synth apps (Thor, Animoog, iSEM, etc.) using my keyboard controllers.  It works great as far as the iPad and the controller communicating with each other outside of Sonar X3e.
 
However, the issue I'm running into is that when I try to utilize this method within Sonar, at startup, I get the message that it is out of memory for the particular MIDI controller that is connected to the iPad and it will be deselected/disconnected for that session.
 
I'd like to be able to get this to work so that I can not only record the audio from the iPad, which is still possible despite the out of memory message, but also be able to record the MIDI track for what I play.
 
Anyone else run into this and discover a solution?

    I believe the conflict for recording midi while using the rtpmidi set up is bonjour. Additionally, besides routing the headphone out from the iPad to a line in on your sound card to record the iPad audio, you will also face latency issues.

    I am looking forward to acquiring this http://www.iconnectivity.com/iConnectAUDIO4plus , as I also use the iPad and would like a seamless integration with SonarAFAIK, this is the only system available which allows platform to platform communication digitally without an audio device agrigate like asio4all.

    Intel i7, 12g tri channel ram, 1.5 T disk, too many softsynths and plug-ins

    Check out splashtop. www.splashtop.com  (It's free) It's an Ipad app that allows full control of your entire computer, just like you were sitting in front of a screen. It doesn't use midi either. It has it's own software that you install on your computer.

    Bandlab Platinum and every other toy I can get my hands on...and yes I'm way in debt over this obsession...

    I'd been looking at the iConnectivity interfaces, but balked when I found out that I'd have to use ASIO4ALL for the Audio Pass Thru.  This new audio/MIDI interface looks interesting.

    That's a good looking iPad/PC mirroring solution, but I need to be able to add a MIDI and audio track within Sonar and play/record iPad synth MIDI events using a Sonar selected MIDI device which it won't let me do with the current setup.  I don't see that this would allow that, but I could be missing how it would accomplish it.
     
    I know I can go the traditional wired MIDI interface/audio out on the iPad, but after figuring out that a wireless MIDI network could be setup, it seems so tantalizing close to being successful that I'd like to figure it out if there is indeed a solution.  :-)
