"***** LAUNCH PRICE (70% offers for limited time) *****TB MIDI Stuff is a generic modular MIDI control surface for iPad.
You can create your own pages, or use the built-in MIDI keyboard (with Arpeggiator, modulation wheel, pitch wheel and accelerometer velocity), the built-in Pads controller (with customizable pads banks, accelerometer velocity, transposition, full velocity mode and repeat mode) or the 16 channels MIDI mixer (pan, volume and mute).
The built-in page editor lets you create your own pages. It contains some useful stuffs like pasteboard, undo manager, multi selection or z-order managment.The built-in keyboard, the pads controller and all drum pads in your custom pages can use Accelerometer Velocity for notes On messages.
All pads (including drum pads) can fire multiple notes to create "one hit" configurations (each note can use or not the accelerometer velocity). You also can create any pads banks you need for the pads controller.
All pages and pads banks can be shared via iTunes with a desktop computer.TB MIDI Stuff use CoreMidi : you can use any supported device, like the native WiFi driver or the camera connection kit with an external sound card. Each page can use a different CoreMidi driver.
Controls can use the iPad accelerometer as input (even faders and knobs), in each dimension (X, Y, Z or, for XY Pads, a mix of them).
The application library contains :- Rotary sliders
- Horizontal sliders
- Vertical sliders
- Horizontal faders (with different colors)
- Vertical faders (with different colors)
- Mixer knobs (with different colors and flavors)
- Drum Pads
- XY Pads
- Value displayers
- Rounded rects

Each control can drive simultaneously multiple MIDI messages like Control Change messages (single 7bits and coarse/fine 14bits), RNP/NRPN messages (7 and 14bits), Pitch Bend messages, Program Changes messages, Note On/Off messages.You can open up to 32 pages simultaneously. You can change pages with three fingers swipe gesture, manage the pages order, open multiple instances of the same page and change the MIDI Out driver or the MIDI Out channel (or both) without entering the editor for each instance.
Swipe shortcuts (1, 2 and 3 fingers) let you access quickly to the MIDI keyboard, the pads controller or the 16 channels mixer.

Hi, Fabien from TBStuff here.
ReplyDeleteAll my apologize for the TBStuff website. I'll change that as soon as possible (you can now contact me with a comment on the site or email me at contact@tbstuff.com).
To answer questions, TB MIDI Stuff don't support now System Exclusive messages. A future update will fix that.
To communicate with a PC/MAC, CoreMIDI provide a WiFi drivers (native in iOS since v4.2). On a MAC, juste create a session with the Audio & MIDI tool. On a PC, rtpMIDI (http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/rtpMIDI.html) is useful to comunicate with the iPad.
An another way is to use a CoreMIDI compatible sound card with the camera connection kit. You can also use things like Line6 MIDI Mobilizer II (not the first generation) or Alesis IO Dock.
Best regards,
Fabien MANCHEC
