MidiMe is a unique iOS midi control application that makes your instruments more expressive. With MidiMe you can not only simultaneously and directly control many different MIDI parameters but also record and playback MIDI gestures or send your instruments bouncing around the room with MidiMe’s bounce mode. MidiMe’s novel keyboard mode brings your performances alive with recordable gestures triggered by every keypress.
MidiMe can also control other iPad apps like synthesizers and drum machines via virtual midi.
MidiMe supports midi over WiFi, so no extra hardware or cables are required.
You can also use Apple’s camera connection kit to connect MidiMe to hardware midi devices.
Cantor is no longer free. It is a Microtonal Guitarist’s synth, designed for extreme playability on the iPhone and iPad. It is the successor to Geo Synthesizer and Mugician. When Cantor is free, Mugician is for sale and vice versa.
It does send a specialized MIDI output (requires a multi-timbral synth that can handle independent channels is all but necessary, such as SampleWiz or ThumbJam in OMNI mode, or Arctic Synth). The internal synth is driven by the actual MIDI output, because external MIDI synths are the main point of this project rather than the internal audio engine. It has a basic looper/delay combination, and the loop can be copied out as a sample to the general pasteboard for apps such as GarageBand.
It is very expressive in terms of per-finger filtering (channel pressure tracks finger-area, CC11 tracks vertical position).
This really cool app is now available for the iPad. Make Music With Everything! One of my favorite features in the Text To Speech synthesis.

Soundbeam helps you see what everyday sounds look like and visualizes sounds you can’t even hear!
Plug in your electric guitar, a mic or any other (hi-Z) device to your mini-jack input and get accurate measurements. You can always use the built-in mic.
We paired stylish controls and an old-school interface with high precision signal processing algorithms, creating a new way to experience sound.
Soundbeam is an audio analyzer that processes the input of your microphone in real time displaying it like a classic oscilloscope.
