A new synth app for your iPad is on the way and should be landing in the app store any day now. Here's what to expect:
- real-time control, low latency
- multi-touch interface, change anything while playing
- 5 note polyphony
- 1 oscilator unit per touch: control pitch, volume
- 1 lfo unit per touch: control speed, amount
- 1 delay unit : control time, feedback
- Y axis assignable control
- edit scales, range, portamento and micro-tune
- load/save all settings
I wish I could have a Bebot like controller that could send signal to any synths (internally). There are a lot of good synths out there with really bad interfaces. I guess I can dream because something like this will never happen on IOS..
ReplyDeleteI wonder how this one will sound.
@johnnyg0 I agree, it seems that it might actually be possible with the implementation of core midi in iOS 4.2
ReplyDeleteI have thought of writing a bebot type app for external midi control.
So far the midi apps available would make it hard to implement scales and do not play glissando.
A iPad app would be the closest thing to cheap continuum controller.
@Raymond
ReplyDeleteEven with Core Midi, I find it surprising that Apple would allow apps that can control other apps. Still I wonder what will come out of it.
And I think the Doepfer ribbon controller is the closest thing to the Continuum.. but its still 500$ :)
