Anybody know if Iphone?

[Antagonist]

Anybody know if the Apple IPhone has any music production software you can load on it, or if any is in the works?

I know it took a bit, but with the older palm treos and whatnot, you could do midi sequencing, etc on the phone.

I'm wondering if there's anything like that yet for the Iphone, as it'd be pretty cool to use the touch screen to move faders, knobs, and whatnot.


I have read about people already hacking the iphones to get them to play OSX Mac games (just read an article from a guy who loaded Doom onto his Iphone).... So it doesn't seem far fetched that you could get an audio program to run on it.

I think Reason would be hot to get running on the phone.

Any info?????

Not yet .. perhaps after Apple releases the developers SDK in February there
will be some mini apps developed.

Thanks Jeff.
I've just been hearing alot of rumors around that most OSX apps will work with IPHONE. So I'm probably dreaming, but I hoping that reason, or some of my other audio apps can be booted in there for when I'm on the road. It'd be just awesome to record a reason sequence, using the touchscreen while I'm at work.

A.N.T.

I wouldn't count on that any time soon. I think the version of OS X in the iPhone is considerably slimmed down, vis a vis the desktop version, and I would be surprised if much at all of the CoreAudio layer is included.

I wrote a control surface with 8 touch sensitive faders that works over Wifi for the iPhone.

Here is a video of an older version of it:

[goldenlotus]

Are you planning on making that available? I love to use that on my ipod touch!

Are running that program off internet server ?

Yes, this will be for sale (sorry) probably when Apple lets me sell it. I think their timeframe for getting certified is after february. I won't charge much for it assuming Apple certifies the software. It currently runs on the iPod touch as well as the iPhone.

The server process uses a proprietary protocol over TCP on port 8183 and 8184. This isn't some lame web service- it's a high performance, low latency, full duplex server. It kicks ass and yes, it is an internet server if you so choose. The ideal is local access.

You can run the server program on any machine you like. In my case (and the best case) is to run the server on the same machine as ProTools is running on- This reduces any latency to the iPhone.

I've also tested the remote on the AT&T EDGE network which means you can control your rig from anywhere in the world that has internet or EGDE. Why you would want to do that is beyond me.

This software is in three pieces: the first piece is the software on the iPhone (the remote). The second is the server (the brains) and the third is the MIDI driver (to communicate with ProTools)... The midi driver and server live on the ProTools machine.

If you are interested in testing this software PM me. thanks!

Coolest thing ive seen all week... how do you flip though fader banks is it as easy as a swipe of the finger that would be badass

would be cool also to see different skins for different DAW's

When in portrait mode you just swipe like you would for let's say Weather.app. It just goes thru the faders. In Landscape you see all 8 faders.

In the transport view I was thinking of adding bank switching buttons... (i.e. nudge track) In those old screenshots the transport shows RTZ and END buttons... Those are gone because I couldn't figure out how to send ProTools timecode- I know how to receive it but not send it. Such is life when you are reverse engineering shit.

Inside the application bundle are a bunch of .png graphic files. You can edit those to skin the software. I was also planning on supporting Garage band, Logic, Cubase, Sonar and Performer skins. If you want to do this for me, go for it! Right now I'm still working out how to do stereo channels, either draw the meters or use skins- dunno--

Dude, when you get this approved, I will buy it. I have always been looking for a remote for Logic. Why not my phone?

[AllAboutTone]

thanks Alex

[tubehead]

I would dig this for Nuendo/Cubase.

[ebot9000]

but is it possible to turn off the phone network part of iPhone while leaving on the WiFi? GMS phones leak those awful beep ba beep ba beep noises into audio lines, and iPhone is one of the worst on this.

If so, this is hot...

Did you have to jailbreak it to get your app on? Is it standard MIDI over IP? I hope it will work with SONAR as well!

You do have to jailbreak to get this app. The communication between the remote and server is not standard MIDI over IP. The ProRemote protocol is optimized for Wifi-remote access vs. serial access for MIDI. The server communicates with ProTools (and soon other hosts) via a MIDI driver.

If SONAR currently supports the Mackie HUI protocol then it should work with ProRemote. In the future I plan to make sure it not only supports all those DAWs but also looks like them.

Yes this is possible today with a program called "Services", it lets you selectively turn off Edge (bleep, bizz, bleep, bleah) and keep on Wifi ( ) <- that's silence in case you wondered. You can also control the bluetooth radio.

That's amazing!

[alexfoinc]

There is a sneak peak available on Welcome to Far Out Labs.

Scroll down to the bottom where it says installation instructions.

[alexfoinc]

Well there is a new video of ProRemote posted. This is the version for the iPhone that is almost released. Should be any day now!

ProRemote 1.0

Enjoy,
alex

p.s. you can see there are some bugs in the code- unfortunately those are bugs in Apple's SDK! The old jailbroken version didn't have those problems tutt

p.p.s sorry for the cross post.

[alexfoinc]

ProTransport is $7.99 US and is available starting tomorrow morning in the AppStore.

ProTransport is essentially the dedicated transport view from ProRemote or put another way is about the same as Frontier Design's Tranzport except it is 8 dollars instead of $150 and fits in your pocket- *oh and works more than 5 feet away from your desk*.

ProTransport will have the same host support as ProRemote and ProRemote LE (we are almost done with Mackie Control support).

We offer limited support for ProTransport due to its low price. As far as the future plans for ProTransport: we are thinking about adding a signal present/overload indicator.

sorry for the cross post,
alex
