eyoControl For iPad

WARNING! This might make you want two iPads 😉

eyoControl is a set of MIDI controllers for the iPad to work with your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software or MIDI instrument, as a control surface or a virtual instrument/controller.

eyoControl includes the following controllers:

– Surface: a control surface with traditional Mixer View with per-track buttons/knobs/faders, and a Panel View with quick access to the status of 64 tracks. Supports major DAW software such as Logic, Cubase… (read details about DAW support at http://eyosido.com/eyocontrol/surface).

– Transport: a simple Transport Bar including a large Timecode display, large control buttons and scrub wheel to operate basic play/record operations with your DAW/recorder software.

– Pad: a 4/6/8/12-pads MIDI controller with tap-location sensitive (controls MIDI note velocity) pads suitable to play drum parts. Each pad has a configurable color/MIDI channel/note. A global velocity slider adds up to the velocity control of each pad.

– Keys: a dual keyboard MIDI controller with separate MIDI channels assignable per keyboard. Choose among three key widths per keyboard, and customize key colors. A global velocity slider controls note velocity.

– mXY: a multi X/Y controller featuring four independent, highly configurable X/Y controllers. Choose assignments among 55 MIDI Continuous Controllers or Pitch Bend. Each axis can be swapped, muted, reversed, mirrored… X/Y controllers can also be merged in a single coordinate system to create special effects when moving altogether.

eyoControl communicates with your DAW through the iPad’s WIFI connection using either the native iPad wireless MIDI capabilities (CoreMIDI) or eyoControl Server (OS X only) for advanced connectivity options. Using a CoreMIDI compatible MIDI interface for the iPad or equivalent, you can connect your iPad to the MIDI ports of your synthesizer and take advantage of mXY, Pad or Keys to control the sounds of your synth. (no DAW or WIFI required in this configuration).

eyoControl supports Accessibility/VoiceOver.

NOTE: eyoControl is a set of MIDI controllers, it does not produce sound by itself!

Requirements:
– iPad running iOS 4.2 or above.
– a local WIFI connection or a CoreMIDI compatible MIDI interface for iPad or equivalent.
– a laptop/desktop computer running either OS X 10.4 or above, or Windows XP/Vista/7 (rtpMIDI required when using Windows) or other system compatible with the iPad wireless MIDI protocol.
– a Digital Audio Workstation software / audio sequencer with MIDI support or a MIDI instrument.

Create music by layering looped recordings of turntable scratches, singing, beatboxing, voice looping, or playing an instrument with a savvy, sophisticated, tactile new looper that totally reinvents the formula.

    ————————————————-

    HOW IT WORKS:
    1. Pick a key to start playing the track.
    2. Tap ‘Chords’ to see what chords are being played (rhythm)
    3. Tap ‘Scales’ to see the scale charts for that key (lead)

    ★CHANGE THE STYLE AT ANY TIME!★

    PRACTICE TIPS:
    Learn the chord progression for each track, and then jump over to practicing scales. Guess what? There are only 5 ‘shapes’ of the pentatonic scale to memorize! Once you know them up and down, learn where they start for each key. Soon, you’ll be able to solo over 99% of the music out there! Gain more versatility by playing in different modes (major/minor/blues major/blues minor) too.

    WHAT IS THE PENTATONIC SCALE?
    It simply means 5-note scale. It is widely used in virtually every style of music, and is one of the most important scales a guitarist can learn. There are 5 shapes, or finger patterns, to memorize. These never change; only the starting position changes for each key. Once you learn one key, the rest will come easy!

    TIPS FOR THE SCALE CHARTS:
    – Black dots are regular notes.
    – Red dots are ‘root notes’. These are notes of the key you are in.
    – Blue dots are ‘passing notes’. Including these notes puts you in a Blues mode.

    PRACTICE SCALES WITH EASE
    Major and Minor Pentatonic scale charts are included for every key. We show you where to put your fingers – just start playing a track, load up the scales and go! You’re instantly jamming with the band.

    FOR RHYTHM AND LEAD PLAYERS
    Every track has a listing of chords that are used in the track, along with scale charts – practice rhythm or lead with ease!

    A GREAT INVESTMENT
    You will get hours and hours of use out of this little app. Practicing guitar shouldn’t be boring – download this app today and make practice fun!

    IT’S SO EASY TO USE
    We created the simplest, fastest and most enjoyable way to practice guitar on a mobile device. Just tap a key and hit play!

    BUILD CONFIDENCE
    Practicing your scales is the best way to get comfortable with the fretboard. Once your learn the 5 different shapes of the pentatonic scale in every key, you’ll be able to play along and solo to nearly any song!
