Read full description

MidiMe turns your iPhone or iPad into an expressive MIDI controller. Draw a gesture on an XY pad and it loops. Flick the puck and it bounces around on its own, sweeping filters, sends and synth parameters while you play. PADS • Eight XY pads, each sending two MIDI CCs, one per axis, with its own channel and CC numbers • Direct mode: the puck stays where you leave it • Record mode: draw a movement and it loops when you lift your finger • Bounce mode: flick the puck and it keeps moving, bouncing off the edges • Pads keep running while you switch screens KEYBOARDS • Keys: two pads above a keyboard; each key you press plays their recorded gestures once • Organ: two stacked keyboards for two registers or two instruments at once • Touch position sets velocity; shift octaves and show one or two octaves at a time PRO UNLOCK Your setup saves automatically. The Pro Unlock, a one-time in-app purchase, adds: • Unlimited presets you can create, name and switch between • Scales: limit a keyboard to one of nine scales in any key, so every key you touch is in key • Keyboards of three or four octaves If you bought MidiMe before version 3.0, Pro is already included. CONNECTING MidiMe sends MIDI over Wi-Fi using RTP-MIDI, so no extra hardware is needed. Connect from Audio MIDI Setup on a Mac, or rtpMIDI on Windows. You can also connect a hardware MIDI interface through a USB adapter. Works with any DAW, synth or effect that accepts MIDI CC and notes.

About

Heathcliff Pro

Read full description

Heathcliff Pro turns any iOS host into a DJ channel strip. Cut, mix, and blend one track into the next — without thinking about the right preset. Heathcliff Pro isn't your parametric EQ; it's the channel strip for transitions. Heathcliff Pro is built for low latency — aggressive performance targets keep it out of the way when you're playing live, and multiple instances won't tax your CPU. The tuning takes its cue from leading DJ mixers, with user-selectable character profiles so you can match the feel to your mixing style. * 3- or 4-band EQ — five character profiles from clean-cut to bleeding character * FX: Filter, Echo, Reverb, and Redux — switchable FX * Trim and volume — set the gain so the blend sits right * Character profiles — voicing presets for EQ, filter, and FX, matched to your mixing style * MIDI learn — supports legacy and modern 14-bit MIDI controllers (most modern DJ controllers are 14-bit). Map UI controls to your hardware; a DJ controller is the recommended way to play. * Low latency — plays live, stacks across multiple instances * AUv3 — works in any AUv3 host Note: Heathcliff Pro is an AUv3 plugin, not a standalone DJ app. The app runs inside a plugin host app like GarageBand, AUM, or Cubasis. Your DAW, your DJ moves. That's Heathcliff!
