Midi WiFi wireless Air-to-Midi Controller for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
YouTube Uploaded by hmbtec on Apr 4, 2011
Before you get too excited, from what I can tell, this is not a CoreMIDI device and will not work with other apps. An alternative that handles OSC over wifi and supports OSC to MIDI is Jabrudian Industries' The Missing Link which does work with certain apps like MIDITouch and TB MIDI Stuff.
"HMB-TEC® Midi WiFi wireless Air to Midi Controller
Sensational Midi solution for your iPhone ™, iPod touch ™ and the iPad ™!
Now you can operate and control your MIDI devices with an iPhone over WiFi wireless connection over the air.
Important Notice!
To operate this app you need the HMB | TEC WiFi-to-Midi Controller "Air2Midi ", available from www.hmb-tec.de online web store. Guitarists, we recommend the additional purchase of a Sidekick™ Guitar holder. This allows you to mount your iPhone or iPod Touch just to the guitar neck and then operate the app with just one hand. You can then play directly from the guitar from a lick on the midi-piano and operate from any position your MIDI-enabled guitar amps and effects.
This app version is the basic version with a 2-manual piano keyboard and a virtual foot switch with a switch bank and a rocker pedal. The Midi channel assignment is fixed to channel 1 and the Midi-codes are given. Therefore you don't need to do any configuration work within the App. For even the following upgrades a drum pad and an 8-channel mixer is planned. The operation is accomplished thanks to the touchscreen and the practical operating structure, extremely comfortable and fast. Ideal for life performances and in the music studio.
The connection between the iPhone and HMB|TEC Midi-2-WiFi-Air Controller Air2Midi " is wirelessly via Adhoc WiFi connection. Thus there is a point-to-point connection and you do not need a network and no access point. This connection is independent and self-sufficient and you have the whole range and performance for your application. The Air2Midi controller then connects as usual with your MIDI equipment.
For questions about this app, and other innovative solutions please send us an email to or visit our Web Store info@hmb-tec.de www.hmb-tec.de
IMPORTANT NOTES, DISCLAIMER
To run this app you need an additional hardware from HMB|TEC.
Have fun with this brilliant tool for musicians!
Yours HMB | TEC Team"
HMB Tec also offered a hardware DIY method of connecting the audio out of your iOS device to MIDI.

The CV Engine - New Modules in the Works from Division 6
via Division-6"Introducing CV Engine, the new series of synthesizer modules from Division 6. At its heart is a MIDI-CV converter with 8 CV and 8 gate outputs, but that's probably the most boring thing it does. CV Engine units work together as a sort of modular module. 8 outputs not enough? Add an expansion module and get more without having to buy a whole new MIDI-CV module. Wish you had a transpose control for one of the outputs and a glide rate control for another? Pick up a pot module and tell it what you want the pots to do. CV Engine is very flexible and vastly configurable; get the hardware you need and set it up the way you want it to work.
This new series of products is currently in development.
Coming Kind-Of Soon"
Note the man behind Division 6 is Scott Rise. He knows a bit about MIDI and controllers. He is the man behind Midify, the MIDI interface for the Mattson Mini Modular, and he wrote all the software for the Mattson SQ816 Sequencer which will be available through Division 6 in eurorack format. He also knows how to microwave a hotdog with MIDI.

"The Yamaha DX-21 FM digital synth makes for a stellar, retro-synth performance piece, as well as a groovin' vintage(ish) practice/jam unit. This synth is the most versatile of the 4-operator family of Yamaha's DX synth line [edit: or the DX11? You can find the user manuals here: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/ and compare]. The keyboard isn't touch sensitive, but the sounds can have velocity values if played from a touch-sensitive keyboard. If you spend the time, you can come up with some pretty interesting digital synths and effects if you are wiling to push some buttons and experiment with the programming. Layering the same sound with itself and increasing the dual detune value can make the DX21 sound much fatter than the DX7 for synth, string, and pad sounds. The split function is variable and can be quite useful for performers.
Features
This synth board features a 32 Performance Memory System, programmable with data on play modes, key shift, detune and pitch bend. It will automatically recall these real-time performance parameters as well as the voice or combination of voices. Instead of VCOs, VCAs, and VCFs, the DX21 uses "operators" (a digital sine wave generator combined with an envelope generator) to produce sound that can be used alone or in combination with other operators. It has 32 RAM (Random Access Memory) voice memories, organized in two banks of 16 voice selector keys. There are 128 pre-programmed voices permanently stored in internal ROM (Read Only) memory. Organized into groups of 8, these voices can be loaded individually or in groups into the 32-voice RAM memory. Two FM Tone Generators allow voices to be selected three ways: Single, Dual, or Split play modes. A broad range of MIDI functions make the DX21 exceptionally useful in virtually any MIDI system application. A built in cassette interface allows an unlimited number of voices to be programmed and stored on cassette tape. Cassette voices can then be loaded into RAM memory when needed.

Noisebug (RSS)
"Manufacturer Description [analoguesolutions.org.uk]:
Analogue monosynth with analogue sequencer / keyboard
KEY FEATURES OF LEIPZIG-SK:
Pure analogue voice and modulation circuitry.
Fat Moog style transistor ladder filter.
2 VCOs with Glide and Sub-VCOs.
Osc Sync & Cross-Mod
Plenty of modulation routing possibilities.
We are a big fan of electronic percussion here, so Leipzig-S modulation choices provide for good drum possibilities
Analogue step sequencer – with plenty of clocking options.
Audio input so can be used as a sound processor.
Rugged steel/aluminum construction.
MIDI In for software sequencer control.
This synth has NO memories! - Advantages;
None of the parameters or controls are quantized. So when you turn a knob, you are turning a resistor that affects a real analogue circuits.
Because each parameter is not under solid CPU control, each parameter has that tiny analogue drift that adds so much to character.
You are forces to be creative. No reliance on presets! Each time you make a sound you are being original.
Quick, easy and simple to use! WYSIWYG - no nasty menus and sub-menus to change the sound.
The SK is almost identical to the S. But with the addition of a MIDI controller keyboard.
Keyboard:
Velocity sensitive, semi-weighted, 37 keys
LCD to enable editing of keyboard set-up (transpose, pitch bend range, retrig, etc)
1/4" CV inputs and outputs
Headphone socket
Internal power supply
Pitch and Mod wheels
Differences between Leipzig-S/SK and the original Leipzig;
Envelopes are now full ADSR
EGs can be disconnected from MIDI trigger
VCO2 can be disconnected from MIDI (free running modulator!)
Analogue step sequencer
VCF can be modulated from either EG1 or EG2"

Ensoniq Mirage DSK with 22 extra disks
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Mirage was an 8-bit sampler capable of a maximum sampling-rate of 32kHz with a limited 128Kb of RAM. Those are pretty old-school specs by today's standards and while it does mean your sounds will be somewhat lo-fi, that does not mean low quality. A built-in 3.5 inch DD disk drive was used to load and store samples, sequences - even the operating system. Each disk could hold up to 6 samples and 8 sequences. The keyboard is split in to two independent halves for an upper sound and a lower sound - great for playing two instruments at a time. Unfortunately, sample editing is done via hexadecimal-code manipulation which is not a simple to concept to master. Most users will just load-in sounds from the Mirage's extensive sample library, or look for computer programs that can edit or convert Mirage samples.
While the Mirage's limited sampling specs, limited polyphony (8 voices) and limited sequencer (333 notes) may seem to knock it off anyone's list when looking for a keyboard sampler, the Mirage still has a few hidden goodies under its hood. Most notably, it has analog filters...a true, analog VCF with low-pass filtering and keyboard tracking. In addition to that it has five-stage envelopes for the VCA and VCF and a nice LFO. Most models also featured a weighted, velocity sensitive keyboard."

This version of the SEM combines the features of the MIDI to CV version with a 21-jack CV patch panel and is personally autographed by Tom Oberheim. 21 SEM connections are brought out to 3.5mm minijacks. The basic connections are a one-volt-per-octave VCO control voltage and a standard 0 to +5 volt gate signal.
This version includes a high precision MIDI to CV Converter that has been specifically designed to allow MIDI to control the SEM, and has additional features that make use of the SEM's external inputs. Some of the features of the MIDI to CV Converter are:
* Select MIDI channel, controller number and bend range
* Select note assignment modes: latest, high note and low note priorities
* Select note re-trigger, filter track, LFO reset
* A second independent control bus allows velocity, controller data, or channel pressure to modulate either or both VCOs, the filter and the VCA
* Transpose function allows different keyboard controllers to utilize the complete MIDI note range
* Analog portamento
* Input preamp gain control - allows an external audio input to be processed thru the SEM
* High precision A-440 Hz tune signal
* Control voltages and gate are bought out to rear panel connectors so MIDI to CV function can be used with other CV/Gate gear."
