Read full description

Motion Controller for OneShot2 turns your iPhone into a MIDI-device. It is designed for use with the drum sampler plugin OneShot2 for Mac, and specifically it’s new motion engine. Use your device to simulate a natural sounding percussion instrument. Motion Controller is a companion app for OneShot2 for Mac that generates a stream of MIDI signals to emulate shaking gestures - it turns your device to a highly realistic shaker / percussion instrument by using the accelerometer. Features: Supports a stable low latency MIDI connection via IDAM (cord), and is also compatible with Bluetooth MIDI. Looseness/Tightness calibration Pre-configured for OneShot2 presets Note: This app does not produce actual sound, it only transmits MIDI signals to a MIDI destination (for example a virtual software instrument). It is made for OneShot2, but can be used with any MIDI compatible instrument.
