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.
