Links to Midi Software for Phones

Soundartians;

I apologize for too lightly researching the Android App market for Midi Connectivity Apps.  Below, I've listed the apps that I'm somewhat familiar with for IOS and that look promising for Android.  Obviously, I can't vouch for the Androids, but I will be happy to try to help get them working during worktimes in class.

IOS and Android

TouchOSC $4.99.  Wide variety of Layouts.  Works with both Android and IOS, and on PCs and Macs.  There is an editor for creating your own interfaces, and a server (OSC Bridge) that installs on your computer.  Communicates over Wifi (moderately difficult setup) but is the most platform friendly and solid program.

IOS

Control Free if you can find it. Creator seems to have jumped over to Android but I have a version on my iphone.  Seems to be taken off the iTunes Store.  This is a controller only but it has lots of layouts.  Works with Touch OSC

MusicIO  Free.  We were using this on Tuesday and it worked for most.  One annoyance is that if it gets disconnected, you may have to restart your phone to get it to work again.


Android

MyOSC  Free.  If you don't want to pay $4.99 for Touch OSC, this is -well- kind of a rip off of it without some of the frills.  You still need to download OSC Bridge on your computer (free).

Augmented Midi  Free.  Midi over USB

Drum Machine  Free.  Although this is a drum machine, it also has a mixer interface.  Midi over Wifi.

Control Free.  This is a controller only but it has lots of layouts.  Works with Touch OSC.

Try them out and make yourself a fancy Audio Workstation!
