I would like to test a MIDI app and want to generate some MIDI events without attaching a physical keyboard. Any hints?

If you are using CoreMidi, setup your app to use MIDINetworkSessions. Once you advertise your iPad over the network, use any MIDI sequencer etc to connect to it and send messages over WiFi.
That way you can test without constantly unplugging/replugging things, and while still tethered to Xcode which is a huge bonus.
The other option would be to create an artificial MIDIPacketList and send it directly to your handler, but this is a lot less flexible.
