Right now I have the features described above working plus another page with 8 sliders automapping to the selected device's macro controls or first 8 parameters if it isn't racked. All with feedback of parameter names and values. Next up is a clip trigger matrix, XY pads and more.

Updated, see: http://dtr.noisepages.com/

Afaik it is available anywhere in the world, isn't it? It's just not free in all countries, but it only costs a few dollars anywhere else.

Not developing at all. It's just Max and FantaStick. FantaStick uses a simplified syntax to draw OpenGL objects on the iPhone. It's all explained in the example patch.

It seems to be ok as long as you don't change too many object parameters simultaneously. In my experience it updates much faster than any OSC client. The track meters in my template are working surprisingly well. I do however get occasional dropouts when using an ad hoc network. It works great when I connect through an ordinary router, though.
I wish I had the option to send data through USB.

And there is no anti-aliasing, which is a bummer if you draw circles.
However, it looks good enough for me...

I've updated my patch with visualization of audio levels and some other stuff, http://vimeo.com/8259860

it's almost ready for use but I really want to be able to move the start position, although it works if I don't click in the arrangement window .
