Read full description

Fusion is an interactive and expressive multimedia MIDI and OSC controller. Our simple, yet powerful, interface allows users to experiment with built-in graphics while also providing MIDI / OSC control using real-time sensor data such as 3D motions, audio (microphone) and heart rate/digital crown (Apple Watch). CONNECTIVITY: Connect to MIDI compatible software and hardware via Bluetooth MIDI, USB or WiFi. Connect to OSC compatible software using the local network/IP Address (e.g. WiFi). Note: Our app asks for permission to use Bluetooth to send Bluetooth MIDI from the phone to compatible hardware. Display the in-app graphics on an external monitor using an HDMI connector/dongle. SUPPORT & COMMUNITY: Comprehensive support for Fusion can be found on our website at floverse.ca/support. Users can also connect with other artists in our FloVerse Discord community via the in-App link. Our website also offers pre-built Ableton templates and how-to guides. COMPATIBILITY: While highly compatible with iPhones and other devices, lag in MIDI output from the Apple Watch can occasionally occur. Enjoy effortless MIDI / OSC generation with our app and explore limitless creative possibilities. Minimum recommended is iOS 16.0 or above and Apple Watch OS 8.0 or greater. Known compatible DAW software for Mac: Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, FL Studio, Reason, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One and more. Known compatible software for iPad: FL Studio Mobile, Synth One, Nanostudio 2 and more. Fusion also works with non-musical software (e.g. TouchDesigner, Resolume and Isadora) that support control via MIDI or OSC. DATA USE & ACCESS: Healthkit permission is requested because it is required to access Apple Watch data such as the heart rate.

MidiWrist Unleashed turns your Apple Watch into a standalone MIDI controller that directly connects to any advertised Bluetooth LE MIDI device, without the need of your iPhone or any other proxy. The tactile feel of the digital crown combined with haptic feedback, gives you control over any MIDI device by touching your wrist, even when you're not looking. MidiWrist Unleashed makes no sound on its own and can't advertise itself as a Bluetooth LE MIDI device. NOTE: The reliability of Bluetooth LE MIDI support in hardware devices varies. MidiWrist Unleashed was tested with iPhone, iPad, Mac and CME WIDI devices. We can't guarantee the connection stability nor MIDI message latency with other devices. IMPORTANT: MidiWrist Unleashed can only connect to Bluetooth MIDI devices, and doesn't support Siri commands. If you need to connect to other MIDI devices or use the Siri features, the original MidiWrist app is still available with those features. Features: • Standalone MIDI controller for your Apple Watch • Fully configurable on your Watch, no external app is required • Watch face complication to launch the app straight from your watch face • Any number of knobs can be controlled with the Digital Crown • Macro control over multiple MIDI parameters from the Digital Crown • Remotely Play / Stop / Pause / Record / Rewind / Fast Forward your DAW from your Watch • Knobs can be controlled individually or simultaneously • Knobs can be linked to preserve their offsets • Any number of buttons can be toggled by tapping the Watch • Buttons can either be stateful or momentary • Double tap to actuate controls on Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 and later • Buttons and triggers can send a single CC or channel pressure value instead of switching between a minimum and a maximum • Pages can be created with any combination of controls choosing from buttons and knobs • Program changes through the Digital Crown or by tapping the Watch • Transport control over MIDI Machine Control (MMC) or Mackie Control Universal (MCU) • Scrub transport with the Digital Crown • Save / Undo / Redo / Toggle Cycle / Toggle Click / Enter through MCU • XY pad with individual messages for each axis • Stepper panel to step through MIDI values with plus and minus buttons, accelerating as you hold • Motion data (pitch, roll, yaw, acceleration) can be sent in real time • Trigger thresholds for motion data to send discrete messages instead of a continuous stream • Configurable accelerometer range, so a strong movement can be told apart from an ordinary one when you wear the watch somewhere other than your wrist • Optional haptic feedback • Configurable colors for all knobs, buttons and panels • Configurable labels for knobs, buttons and panels • Configurable MIDI channels and MIDI messages (continuous control, program change, channel pressure, note) • Create any number of controller pages you need • Delete and rearrange controller pages • Save your configurations to presets for easy retrieval • MIDI learn for easy controller configuration • Delete and rearrange presets • Connect to other Bluetooth MIDI devices • Low latency and fast response
