Music IO: MIDI over USB Demo
Music IO is an incredible new release from an extremely talented group of developers. The app allows users to connect to their computers via Apple's usb to lighting/30 pin cable, and then transmit MIDI (and very soon, audio) between your Mac and your iDevice. No more wi-fi or bluetooth needed, and no more audio or midi hubs either.
In this demo we take a look at setting up the program on your Mac, followed by a quick run through of the iPad controlling Ableton Live's built in instruments, then reversing that and controlling FunkBox and iMini via an Ableton MIDI clip.
This is truly a remarkable app and it's simplicity belies the powerful nature of what this accomplishes. There can be a lot of hoops to jump through when attempting file sharing, recording, or trying to control a desktop program via MIDI. Music IO will change all of that.
***also note that when I use MD Pro to control Ableton, the small audio crackles are from a faulty audio cable of mine, not any app I'm using.
