The Xoom isn't a netbook, or a netbook wanna-be. It's a computer. A big old honking computer. With a touch screen. It's what you get when you let engineers build something without designers and artists cracking the whip and instilling fear into them.
Fucking hilarious. Especially that bit.They may as well knock all that old shit down.
Ha, I do actually own an iphone 4 and an ipad. That's why this hotspot thing is the biggest news to me, because it always bothered me that I couldn't tether from iphone to ipad like I can to my laptop. I only have the wi-fi ipad. I refuse to buy another data plan for an ipad. But of course I'll always have my iphone if I do take my ipad out of a wi-fi area. That's annoying about the add-on costs for tethering for you guys in the States, but that's specific to the carriers in each country. I just checked on the availability in Canada and...... drum roll.......... we get it free! wooohooo! The Dream is definitely back on.LoopStationZebra wrote:I should have thought of that clever routing method, but because I'm still rockin a 1st gen iPhone......
Of course, glitch prolly doesn't own either one...but he's more clever than I am.
At least with my carrier (Rogers/Fido), it's free for anyone with over 1GB data plan. We never got the cheap unlimited plans that were offered in the states though. The plans are more regularly crap like 500mb for 25 dollars. Or 2gb for 30. Not great anyways. I was lucky and got an intro deal when the plans first launched which gives me 6gb for 30 dollars. Free hotspot with that now and it's looking pretty good.

Would you really want to do that? I can't imagine using my iphone for anything music related. Tried nanostudio and a couple things but it's just no fun using such a little device. Even my ipad I'm not a huge fan of for music apps, except for the amazing control surface apps like touchable and the the new Omni TR for Omnisphere. These are pretty handy, but I personally still just love my Novation Remote SL, my APC40, Kore and Maschine for most control. I just like the physical setup and actually playing keys, turning knobs and hitting pads. Clip sequencing on the ipad though, that's gonna be the bomb. Got griid recently and am really looking forward to using the clip piano roll in that more. You just can't duplicate that in hardware easily. But an iphone, really? The thing is so small!LoopStationZebra wrote:^Okay. I feel better knowing that you do have an iPhone4 and iPad.

Don't get me wrong. I have zero interest in using an iPhone for either instrument or controller apps in any long term sense. I'm merely curious as to how 2 touch apps might interact. For instance, I'd love to use Performer to control a MIDI track macro, but that MIDI track is actually routed out to my NLogSynth Pro app on my iPad (who's MIDI assignments I've already mapped to the macros on that track).glitchrock-buddha wrote:But an iphone, really?

This kind of iPad to iPad via DAW has just not been done and reported on...at all. I'm always bitching over at synthtopia and createdigitalmusic because those guys totally ignore the iPad integration with DAW usage. WTF? Where's the fucking NAMM video of someone controlling NLogSynthPro via a controller app on another iPad or iPhone? 
I connected via OSX MIDI Network, and that beautiful clock bpm changed right along with my changes in Live. Haven't tried it yet with the CCK, but that's next. I'd expect that one to sound pretty good too. That's the guy who made timewARP 2600.LoopStationZebra wrote:BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE OUT FIRST SYNTH APP THAT HAS SUCCESSFULLY INCORPORATED WORKING MIDI SYNC!
And it's a fucking doozie of an app. SynthX. The most butt-ugly yet geeky cool Atari like interface and WICKED analog synth sounds.
The LFO is MIDI sync'd. And it works. JOY. Why he didn't sync that fucking delay parameter I'll never know.
But still...we now have two apps that have gotten MIDI sync to work: Molten and SynthX.

Watch the vid. Synth sound goodness.

So you're saying that the iMS-20 can receive midi clock from live? How would you do that? How to get midi from the computer to something that only accepts usb? Or can the camera connection kit accept midi via some other midi peripheral?LoopStationZebra wrote:@glitch
Indeed. I've been messing with it for over an hour and it's got some real GRIT.
Back to MIDI sync, as you might have gathered only 2 apps offer it, but devs keep promising the feature. And promising. And promising.
The iMS-20 is the biggest crime, though. A truly incredible app hampered by SHIT MIDI implementation. Only MIDI receive; with no change in sight for send or clock. The good news is that at least most now offer send and receive.
The iMS-20 will only receive MIDI notes/CCs. It won't accept clock at all.glitchrock-buddha wrote:
