There are a few solutions for establishing a MIDI connection between iOS and a desktop OS. One is a $2 app called midimux which allows for MIDI communication via direct USB connection between PC/Mac and iOS. I have heard there may be some issues with recent OS versions, but I don’t have experience with it myself.

It turns out that on Mac there is a built-in way to accept MIDI over lightning-to-USB cable from a device running iOS 11+: IDAM (Inter-Device Audio and MIDI).
