iOS MIDI: Folks we have GAME CHANGING NEWS

[stringtapper]

I… show up at a gig with my Stick…

But does your left hand lead with the forefinger or the pinky? That's the real question.

You'll have to excuse me. I'm in New Orleans.

And I wonder if this will just shift the whole "checking email" impression a lot of people have with laptop performers to a new device. Maybe they'll think the performer is just playing Angry Birds

...unless your controller app has a visual output generator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG1OSHg3s20#t=3m30s - sorry for the advertising, just can't resist when I know we have a solution to the problem...

What are you doing in New Orleans without us?

@ Loops - You are the man. I've been following all your endless debacle's that you have had with MIDI & iOS. This is really fKn good news. Can't wait to finally start incorporating a iPad into the rig come a few weeks from now.

PS - I'm totally with you 100% - This is the future.

If you wake up in a seedy motel room next to a burly bearded man with chocolate sauce all over him, call me. I'll get you out of their tootsweet and no one will be any the wiser.

Thankfully your services have not been needed as of yet. We'll see. At this point I just want to get home and try out these apps you're praising. (I'd go back to the hotel and download them tonight but the wife would not take kindly to me departing this wedding reception early)

Oh Sweet Jebus. This works over Bluetooth as well. You don't need a wifi network. I just successfully paired my iPhone to my iPad and it worked perfectly. The sync was totally stable.

Another. Game. Changer.

You talk about needing wi-fi networks, but isn't it possible to connect the devices by creating a network in the Airport menu on the laptop? Of course if you're only using the mobile devices then the bluetooth is the way to go.

lol the only time we need someone to say "This changes everything".... and he's not here

Yeah, absolutely. When I say 'needing wifi' I was also talking about ad hoc wifi created via the laptop.

I'm just amazed that Bluetooth works.

Ok LSZ..

Just a quick thanks...

#1 - For kicking this dead horse until it wakes up and starts running.

#2 - For keeping us informed so we can benefit from your Beta.

I believe

I should have a new iPad on Tuesday, very excited.

[Cezband]

Then you look at the laptop with a touch of scorn, thinking "You're time is coming, mofo."

I imagine you shaking your fist whilst saying that, in a Scooby-Doo "Meddling Kids!" fashion.

We'll expect hourly reports in the iPad thread on your journey.
