iXY MIDI Controller has been updated to v1.5.0 and is available now on the Appstore.

v1.5.0 is a huge improvement over v1.1.0.  

Features and Enhancements:

• No longer necessary to input your computer's IP address. iXY will find your computer.
• 5 user patches.  User patches store settings for MIDI Channel, MIDI CC#'s for each x/y, the mode you have selected, etc.
• New "Split" mode.  From the settings menu, you can now choose Combined or Split mode.  In split mode you can use up to two x/y controllers at once and the screen will split between them.  Additionally, in Split mode you do not need to touch the crosshair to move the controller.  You can touch anywhere in the x/y controllers split screen area.   Disable the Blue controller in split screen mode to a single Yellow controller over the same screen in this manner.
• UI enhancements and improvements to Combined mode's shared space algorithms.

 

MIDI Motion Machine is available on the Appstore beginning today!  

 MMM is an accelerometer based MIDI Motion controller.   Tilt your iPhone/iPod Touch from side to side to control your MIDI capable software.   As a bonus, MMM also has 16 note trigger pads that overlay it's accelerometer display.  Trigger beats and samples while you tilt your iPhone/iPod Touch to control your sounds.

•  X/Y Tilt control of MIDI Messages.  MIDI CC #'s are configurable from an easy to use Settings menu.
• 5 user presets, selectable from the bottom of the screen, allow you to set up configurations for different software or to control many more parameters at the touch of a button.  User presets hold information about MIDI Channel, and X/Y MIDI CC #'s.
• 16 note trigger pads allow you to trigger sounds while you tilt to mangle those sounds in real-time.
• X/Y MIDI Teach buttons allow you to easily configure your MIDI capable Applications that have MIDI Learn functionality.

  I'm really excited to announce that version 0.8 of a MIDI over WiFi has been released... Open Source!   

 For those who aren't familiar, this will allow you to write your own MIDI over WiFi applications for the iPhone/iTouch, and make use of the DSMI servers that already exist for Mac/Win/Linux !   

libDSMI iPhone is an offshoot of a project I started with Tobias Weyand a couple of years ago for the Nintendo DS.  It started with a hardware MIDI interface hack for the DS, then Tobias and I discovered we had a mutual desire to get MIDI working over WiFi so that the average user didn't have to know anything about electronics to send MIDI from the device.   

 Well today is the beginning of a very exciting new tool for iPhone developers everywhere!   We have ported this great technology to the iPhone and anyone with programming knowledge for the iPhone can use it without restrictions!  (well, except for those in the lgpl licence ;) ).   

 !!!   One more thing!   I've created a free source code example for how to use it!  Right now it has to be checked out using SVN from our google code page (http://code.google.com/p/dsmi/) and is located in trunk/iPhone/demoapps section ( http://dsmi.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/iPhone/demoapps/).  It is an accelerometer based MIDI controller app.  It will also be available for free on the Appstore very soon as MIDI Motion Machine Free !

Our forums now have a libDSMI section as well!  Feel free to ask me any questions there.  I will be writing a nice tutorial on how to include the lib in your iphone projects as well.

 Don't forget to drop by the original libDSMI web page too!
