Mira Max Conrtoller For iPad

Mira Controller for Max is for users of Max 6 by Cycling ‘74 only. Mira currently requires OS 10.6 or higher as well as Max version 6.1.3.

Mira is the easiest way to control a Max application from an iPad. Launch Mira and it will automatically connect to Max and display the part of your patch you want to control remotely. When you change a button or slider on the iPad, the corresponding Max object changes, with zero setup or network configuration. It is truly a mirror of your Max patch.

Mira controls any number of Max patches on any number of computers. You can also use multiple copies of Mira to control a single patch.

There are no OSC messages to wrangle, and everything you do in Max is immediately reflected in Mira.

Mira Features:

+ Automatically control any number of patches from your device

+ Use mira.frame objects to define viewable regions in your patch. Each frame shows up as a tab in Mira.

+ Support the majority of standard Max UI objects, with more to come.

+ New mira.multitouch object allows for gestural control

+ New mira.motion object sends accelerometer data from your device

+ Multiple instances of Mira can control a single patch for collaborative performance

+ Works over WiFi or an ad-hoc network

We wanted to make it easier to connect your iPad to Max, so you could focus on the important part – using your patch! Mira handles all networking details so you can start controlling your Max patches in two easy steps. First, place a mira.frame object in your patch — this represents the screen of the iPad. Then, drop UI objects onto the frame, and they instantly appear on your device, ready to use.

Each mira.frame you add in Max creates a new tabbed view in Mira, so you can organize the control of your patch into multiple pages.

Mira is available for $49.99

On the iPad, Thor comes with a specially designed interface that’s optimized for touch control and the iPad screen. Cleverly designed panels expand and fold at the touch of a button to hide or reveal oscillators, filters, envelopes and more.

• Settings for polyphony and portamento

Knobs mode features:

Jamstik For iOS

Jamstik is a new Guitar controller for performing on iOS apps. Music is a language like no other, and is universally accepted as one that brings us together, through both passive listening and for some, by performing. We believe that at some level everyone would like to play an instrument. At Zivix, our goal is to create a platform for making music more meaningful, accessible and fun for those who may have never experienced how enjoyable/rewarding it can be to make your own music.

Features:
Real Strings, Real Frets, Real Picking
Authentic Expression, String Bend, & Pick Sensitivity
Patented Technology That Sees Your Fingers
No Tuning – Low Latency
Included Apps: Educational, Creative, & Interactive TAB
Access to 100’s of Musical Apps

The JamStik is instantly compatible with Garage Band and hundreds of other Midi-based apps, but when used with our apps the technology goes deeper.

The JamStik grew out of our previous products that allowed any level of player to easily manipulate and control a variety of musical sounds. We combined this with our patented finger-sensing technology and made something that lets anyone immediately create great-sounding and original music, but that also provides a new interactive gateway to learn guitar. A key advantage of our technology allows the player to see their fingers on the screen in real-time to learn, create and play like never before.

What is Jamstik?

Apps used:
Drums – Fairlight Peter Vogel CMI
Bass – Sunrizer Synth
Guitar – Animoog
Vocal – iVoxel

NI Traktor Kontrol Z1

Native Instruments have announced TRAKTOR KONTROL Z1 – said to be the world’s smallest professional mixer and audio interface to natively connect to both the TRAKTOR DJ App for iPad and iPhone, and TRAKTOR PRO 2.

When combined with the critically-acclaimed TRAKTOR DJ App, the Z1 adds headphone cue, and dedicated faders, filter and effects controls, and 3-band EQ for each channel. The integrated audio interface boosts audio output to club-ready levels – an important feature for iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod touch setups – all without interfering with TRAKTOR DJ’s acclaimed touch interface. TRAKTOR KONTROL Z1 also offers established TRAKTOR PRO 2 DJs a highly portable mixing interface when compact size and professional performance features are needed.

Following TRAKTOR DJ’s overwhelming popular success and warm critical reception, TRAKTOR KONTROL Z1 now provides TRAKTOR DJ users with an all-in-one 2-channel mixer, controller, and 24-bit soundcard. Its dedicated faders, filter and effects controls, and 3-band EQ for each channel automatically map to the software, instantly giving DJs added tactile control over their iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod touch setups. The Z1′s cue section delivers headphone pre-listening of the next track for fluid, professional mixing, while the built-in 24-bit soundcard provides club-ready sound without the need for additional hardware. This combined with the Z1′s compact footprint gives users the most portable TRAKTOR DJ setup available today. With iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod touch turned on, TRAKTOR KONTROL Z1 even keeps the device charged, assuring DJs hours of performance fun.

TRAKTOR KONTROL Z1 is also the smallest professional mixer for TRAKTOR PRO 2 users to date – perfect for intimate after-party gigs or any situation that requires both compact size and professional performance features. Thanks to plug-and-play connectivity with TRAKTOR and the included TRAKTOR LE software, DJs can immediately start mixing on their Mac or PC system. When combined with TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 and F1 controllers, TRAKTOR KONTROL Z1 becomes part of a powerful, professional DJ setup including full control of TRAKTOR’s Remix Decks and transport functionality.”

TRAKTOR KONTROL Z1 connects to iPad, iPad mini, iPhone or iPod touch with an included 30-pin connector. Using the Z1 with iPad 4th generation, iPad mini, iPhone 5 or iPod touch 5th generation requires an Apple Lightning to 30-pin Adapter, which must be purchased separately from Apple.
