Mobile MIDI vs Bens Toolbox Motion

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a wireless MIDI controller. Almost any sensor in your phone can be a knob. Touch: • Drum pads, keyboard, XY, faders, build-your-own layouts Motion: • Accelerometer + gyro (6 axes) • Gravity, attitude (pitch/roll/yaw), user acceleration • Compass heading, magnetic field • Barometric pressure • Step cadence, shake triggers Device & environment: • Battery level, charging state, thermal state • Screen brightness • Microphone loudness (analyzed on-device, never recorded) Tracking: • ARKit face blendshapes — 52 expressions • Hand gestures via Vision • AirPods head tracking — nod, tilt, turn Output: Bluetooth LE, USB, or Wi-Fi (Network MIDI) to any DAW. Save and share presets. Built for musicians, producers, and experimentalists. No extra hardware. No subscription. Pay once. TOUCH • 16-pad drum grid with MPE polyphonic pressure • Keyboard with configurable range and octave, MPE-capable • XY pad for two-dimensional continuous control • 8-fader CC bank • Custom layout designer — drag-and-drop your own surfaces MOVE • 6-axis device motion — accelerometer and gyro • Tilt, shake, gravity (X, Y, Z) • Compass heading • Barometric pressure • Per-axis smoothing, deadzone, and scaling EXPRESS • ARKit face tracking — 52 facial blendshapes as continuous CCs • Hand tracking — gesture-based control via the front camera • AirPods head tracking — hands-free expression for live performance SENSE • Battery level and charging state • Screen brightness • Thermal state • Any system signal can drive MIDI MUSICAL TOOLKIT • 27 scales, 31 chords • Chord, strum, trigger, and toggle modes • Intelligent note-off handling — no stuck notes • MPE channel allocation with LRU across channels 2–16 PRESETS • Save, load, import, export • Five built-in templates to get started fast • Share presets with other Mobile MIDI users CONNECTIVITY • Bluetooth MIDI (BLE) • USB MIDI (via adapter) • Wi-Fi / Network MIDI • Auto-reconnect and device picker DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE • Low-latency native audio path • Wakelock keeps the screen on during gigs • MIDI activity indicator • Clean, minimalist interface built for low-light stages Every control source is mappable to any CC, note, or pitch bend, on any channel. Build the controller you actually want. One-time purchase. No accounts. No telemetry. No subscriptions. Made by Pounding Systems.

Ben’s Toolbox Motion turns your iPhone into a wireless motion controller for Ben’s Toolbox on Mac. The app sends iPhone motion data over your local network to the macOS app. There, sensor axes, AR positions, and combined movements can be freely mapped to MIDI CC controllers. MIDI output is handled by Ben’s Toolbox on the Mac and can be used directly in Logic Pro. This lets you control modulation, expression, dynamics, filters, pitchbend-like movement, and other MIDI CC parameters intuitively by moving your hand. Depending on your mapping, tilt, up/down movement, left/right movement, and forward/back movement can be used separately or in combination. Features: - Wireless connection to Ben’s Toolbox on macOS - Control via iPhone motion sensors - Optional AR position tracking for spatial movement - Sensor, AR, and combo modes - Freely configurable axes and MIDI CC mapping in the Mac app - Live display of current values - Display of the current articulation set and playing technique - Support for motion-based workflows in Logic Pro Ben’s Toolbox Motion is a companion app. Ben’s Toolbox for macOS is required. The app works locally on your network and does not collect personal data. BOUNCER TOOL • Start Main Presets and Selection Preflight from iPhone • Follow validations and Bounce Rounds with live progress • Review the Routing Map and open the export folder on Mac • Continue into the real run after a successful preflight
