Time to ditch my Tenori-On =)
New iPad MIDI Controller called Koushion. Giving the Tenori-On a run for it’s money.
Koushion (literally “grid sound” in Japanese) is a new kind of MIDI controller for your iPad. While it looks deceptively similar to a simple Tone Matrix, this is no toy. This video demonstration was completely improvised.
Compatible MIDI Connections:
– Automatic integration with other apps via Core MIDI virtual ports
– Control of external MIDI devices via Core MIDI-compatible devices such as the iRig MIDI and Alesis I/O dock
– MIDI over Wi-Fi via Core MIDI network sessions (we DO NOT suggest this method due to latency issues)
Core Features:
– 16 steps per scene – up to 128 steps in chain mode
– 8 scenes with independent MIDI channel per scene, independent key, quantization, and playback mode
– MIDI clock send/receive
– 4 playback modes – single, simultaneous, chain, rebound
– Scale – switch between any major, minor, pentatonic, or chromatic scale
– Adjustable step quantization – 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32
– Quantized scene switching
– Tap to set tempo – great for syncing with a live band
– Velocity and gate control
– Monophonic drawing mode – only allows one note per step; great for programming leads
– Optional Dark Theme – reduces eyestrain when working in low-light environments
Kushion is available for $7.99
