Secret Base Design have released version 1.5 of MIDI Control – their excellent iOS Universal MIDI controller that uses Virtual MIDI to play more than one app at a time using it’s dual keyboard or drum pads.
This update adds support for AudioBus so you can now stream live audio directly to other Audiobus-compatible apps! Capture live audio from synthesizer apps, directly into MIDI Control, and then paste the recordings as needed using Audio Copy and Paste! Check out the video below…
MIDI control allows you to mix and match, with the whole range of iOS music apps at once. Play Animoog with Magellan, Sunrizer with BS-16i, or Cassini, Arctic Keys, and Thumbjam, all at once. You can even take advantage of the synths and samples from GarageBand and SampleTank. The keyboards also rotate around, allowing two people to play using one device.
In addition to the iOS synths, you can also connect to external equipment using CoreMIDI or DSMI.
For musicians who use sheet music, the app allows you to import PDF files. Keep track of music, transcriptions, song lyrics and set lists, right under your finger tips while you play.
