FunkBox iPad App MIDI Synced with An x0xb0x

This video demo doesn’t look like much – but it’s the first time we’ve seen an iPad app MIDI synced to other MIDI hardware

via syntheticbits:

This is a demo showing our FunkBox drum machine iPad app synced up with an x0xb0x synth, using CoreMIDI and an iPad camera connection kit with an m-audio uno MIDI interface.

This will be included as a bonus feature in the next FunkBox 2.0 update which is coming soon!

If you’re an iPad musician, the addition of MIDI sync could be a big deal.

It means that you can buy an app, for the price of a cup of coffee, that turns your iPad into a multi-touch hardware drum machine.

As more developers support CoreMIDI, iPads are likely to be attractive alternatives to some dedicated MIDI modules.

How big of a deal is MIDI sync for iOS? Let us know what you think!

  1. This is a cool feature. It would be great if you could wirelessly sync multiple iOS devices, but not enough developers support this yet.

  2. MIDI sync of course is a hugely desired capability. just ask anyone who owns the iMS-20 app. I've been dreaming of syncing it with Ableton or even the Electribe app.

  8. true and with 85000000 cup of coffee, Ireland would have avoided the baillout.

    I think midi integration is really great ! but OSC or midi through wifi should be more exploited than the camera kit with other HW connected to it.
