A fun little side project… using MIDI with the iPad

I’ve been experimenting with the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer SDK for iOS, and this is my first project: an analog-style sequencer for the iPad. In the video I sequence an Alesis Andromeda A6 synth using the iPad and the MIDI Mobilizer interface.

I’m not sure where I’m going to take this as far as features/etc go, and for now I’m going to be shifting my focus back to finishing up a different music app, but I think the demo shows that MIDI control using iOS devices definitely has some promise.

Thank you to Alesis founder Keith Barr for the Andromeda A6 and his many other contributions to music making.

A free update that makes our FunkBox drum machine iphone app into a universal app, meaning it runs natively on both iPhone/Touch and now iPad, has been submitted to Apple and is currently waiting for review. These pictures show a preview of how FunkBox will look on your iPad.
