From the makers of TB MIDI Stuff, comes a tiny version!
LAUNCH PRICE (60% offers for limited time) The app is priced at $1.99
TB MIDI Tiny Stuff is a tiny generic modular MIDI control surface for iPhone and iPod Touch.
The built-in page editor lets you create your own pages. It contains some useful tools like pasteboard, undo manager, multi selection or z-order managment.
All drum pads in your custom pages can use Accelerometer Velocity for notes On messages. They can also fire multiple notes at the same time to create "one hit" configurations (each note can use or not the accelerometer velocity).
All pages can be shared via iTunes with a desktop computer or via e-mail directly in the app. You can import pages from Mail and Safari.
TB MIDI Tiny Stuff use CoreMidi : you can use any supported device, like the native WiFi driver. Each page can use a different CoreMidi driver. Also works with Virtual MIDI Ports applications capable and the app provides two virtual MIDI out ports.
Controls can use the 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)
- Black knobs
- Drum Pads
- XY Pads
- Rounded rects
- Labels
You can open up to 32 pages simultaneously. You can 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.
TB MIDI Tiny Stuff contains some demo and template pages.
Note : TB MIDI Tiny Stuff doesn't manage SYSEX messages yet.
The app is priced at $1.99

This app has two virtual midi outputs.
So if I,say,got an iPod touch for Xmas.....
I could be running two different apps like BM2 and Nlog both with Arps running and patterns ablaze while sitting back with the 'touch with midi tiny app mapped to key params controlling the whole performance like some kind of touch screen Zues-all-mighty sending lighting bolt like signals back and forth creating the most mind blowing,filter screaming,resonate your soul,performance..............
and then I wake up and realize all I have is an iPad 1 that echo's out in endless midi loop feedback pain when asked to more then run nlog with a Van Halen "Jump" patch playing. Woe is me...First world problems....yada yada yada.
(Just you wait. I WILL be getting the IP3 and then the magic will happen. Finally will I be able to taste the magical fruit known to few and many as WIST. Sync this apple! I'm gonna rule the gardened jungle and may Eden itself bask in the glory of Native iPad support! Hahahahah (evil maniacal laugh ensues)
Oh yeah. Buy TB mini stuff. Tee Hee :)
HI G (@freesouldvw):
Your probably know this by now, but:
1) an iPad 3 will have all the same problems as an iPad 1. The only class of problems that an iPad 2 or iPad 3 can "cure" are memory problem. For instance,to use my app (MIDI Designer) on an iPad 1, you have to make sure other apps are closed. On iPad 2 and iPad3, this is not essential.
2) I have purchased TB mini stuff, and it's feature-rich but a bit clumsy (IMHO). MIDI Designer has a Lite version that is free so you can compare them. I know that you've seen MIDI Designer, but perhaps you haven't checked it out in a few months.
Anyway, Palm Sounds: great article, covers a lot of bases.
Thanks for the article Palm Sounds!
