A bit late but as pointed out, according to ChatGPT the answer is yes a midi map will work. I’ll give it a go this weekend and my phone too maybe.
It also pointed out that The iPad version of djay doesn’t expose MIDI Learn in the same way as desktop, so editing mappings is easier on Mac. Best to finalize your map on Mac, then just transfer it.
On the Mac there’s a default you can always go back to if need be, should be the same on the iPad.
