Why synths on an iPhone? |

why on earth you want to play a synthesizer with an iPhone
would you try dialing a telephone number with a DX7

BTW, a patch was made for the Nord Modular that allowed one to dial the phone- so why not? _________________ ACHTUNG!

Not to be nitpicking .. but wouldn't it rather be like pulling a nail with a toothpick? I mean, far less harmful and maybe even fun _________________ Jan

The iPhone is the greatest. There are some great touch sensitive midi controllers. It's wireless of course.
But that's for another topic, and it'll be a great one. _________________ --Howard

Some of these are really fun! And of course you don't need the iPhone, the Touch will do as well. I just want someone to develop a Buchla-style controller! (These usually work via wi-fi- like p2p). _________________ ACHTUNG!

OK?
Some links, please? A list of good apps of that kind?
And the input from the iPhone/ iPod Touch midi controller app is picked up by a midi socket in OS X Midi core? Over wi-fi? Bluetooth? _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

Here's one company that has some very useful software, IMHO.
http://www.itouchmidi.com/?q=node/32
I hope to review this in the future. All communicate with your PC or MAC over the WiFi link. There are several different controller models. Here are some of the pics.

I don't want to sound disappointing to those enjoying their "telephones" for anything besides dialing telephone numbers but the problem remains the same: the user interface is hardly convincing for musical applications. I know, the iPhone is cool but... I have recently seen an application that simulates a guitar neck where you can (hardly) play chords does it make sense I don't think so. I was going to buy a synth application for my son's Nintendo DS called KORG DS-10. It looks neat but do I need it I don't think so. This, of course, can be said of the many things we surround ourselves with: fancy gadgetry
Is there a hidden meaning explaining the gadgetry rush I think so (but that's matter for another thread). _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

Pretty good for a multi touch controller and cheaper than a lemur.
Must admit I like the idea of sticking one onto a guitar, it runs on battery and talks OSC over WiFi so as a small mobile controller it is pretty good. |

I think that multi-touch screens of all kinds are the future. Imagine a Nord Modular G2 Editor that you could manipulate directly on the screen, without having the mouse operation getting in the way. You could have the screen shrink quite a bit and this would still have benefits compared to the old way. That's just one example out of a gazillion.
A couple of years on, the mouse/keyboard way of operating computers will be viewed as the weird and clumsy stuff that people did before everything had those obvious multi-touch screens.
