echo piano free today for the first time ever. it's good for quickly creating a midi sequence, without having to wait for Nano/BM2/FL/GB to load up

Don't know if it has been mentioned in this thread before, but Novation Launchkey is still free. Don't miss it. Here you have a new jam video of it:

Sound Wand MIDI Controller



https://itunes.apple.com/app/sound-wand-midi/id587658542?mt=8

Published three days ago. Now $9.99 -> Free!

Create music like no one has ever heard before. SW Midi is an organic, sensitive, motion-based MIDI controller and a truly original concept that's easy and intuitive to play. Experience your favourite synth and sample-based instruments in a brand new way that will have you giddy like the first time all over again

WARNING: This app contains no sounds of its own. You'll need a computer with music software (e.g. Garage Band, Logic, Kontakt, Absynth, Alchemy, etc), or other apps which support CoreMidi input (e.g. NLogSynth).

Sound Wand MIDI reads your movements with the built in gyroscope and accelerometer and translates them into musical actions. It lets you pluck invisible strings in the air while controlling additional parameters with your movements via MIDI CC messages. For example, you can...

✱ Play riffs on a virtual guitar and control the wah pedal at the same time...
✱ Connect it to a pad synth and link to the filter freq/res. It's like painting sounds in the air...
✱ Create tranquil wind-chime-like sounds or intense melodic soundscapes with pianos, glockenspeils, dulcimers, xylophones, gamelans
✱ Connect it to percussion kits for some outrageous beat making

Very attractive app. Reminds me a bit on GyroSynth. Tried it with NLogSynth on iPhone 5 (supports 16:9 screens) and it works as expected.

Hey a bit off topic but I am curios.. Is there a video editing app that can have sound pasted into it. I'm looking for something like the feature of GarageBand to export to iMovie but not interested in iMovie since it is soooo bloated

MIDI Studio just got a HUGE update. I actually just used the previous version live yesterday. I assigned some pads to trigger a sound in bs-16i. I played it safe by assigning notes to the pads rather than attempting to use the on-screen keyboard and probably hitting some wrong keys. Then I got home and there was an update to the app.

Personally I deleted it after updating it. A prime example of how not to implement IAP. Plus all the other pricing shenanigans with the app(s) of course..

this is not a DAW, is it? just a midi controller, that does not produce sound?

Just a midi controller, and no sounds correct.
