OMAC Idea: In-App App Switching (not using Multitasking)

When I’m messing around with two VMP (Virtual MIDI Port) apps, I end up opening the multitasking menu at least ten times, switching back and forward between apps. I don’t know about you, but I really don’t like having to open the multitasking menu (double-tapping the home button) ever time I need to switch. Not because I’m lazy, (well… sorta =P ) but because it’s (from what I’ve heard, let me know if I’m wrong here) bad for the life span of your iDevice… I mean, every button wares out and stops working eventually, right? Again, let me know if I’m wrong here…

With just two taps, you can switch
from MoDrum to BassLine,
and BassLine to MoDrum, without
touching the home button.

So, maybe apps with VMPs should do what finger did here… And add an in-app shortcut to another app. I’m not saying that developers should go adding a bunch of these for random apps, that would be too much. But instead, add the ability to (if it’s possible…) detect what apps they’re connected with, and add an in-app shortcut for them!

What do you think? Is this possible? stupid? pointless? a good idea? Comment below……

MoDrum and Bassline: What I’d like to see Next…

I was playing around with the two apps and really got to know each of them, they work great with each other by the way. There are some more features that I hope will be added in a future update that would really spice things up:

  • The ability to add multiple pitches on the same ‘step’ in Bassline.
  • More kits to choose from in MoDrum.
  • The ability to customize the drum tracks in MoDrum, and add multiple tracks of the same drum. Adding this would allow you to set up two patterns, played on the same drum, and switch between the two durring playback.

Touch Producer: The future of iOS MIDI

Very interesting article on the future of iOS MIDI by Touch Producer. I agree, more developers need to add MIDI Clock Sync support. The ability to have apps play together (on different iDevices, or on the same device via multitasking) will allow more sophisticated performances with iOS devices.Palm Sounds brought up another goal for us to look forward to: being able to record yourself playing in one app, in another app. I like to think of apps like Modrum and Bassline as instruments, and apps like MultiTrack DAW and FourTrack as recording software. Being able to record software instrument apps using recording software apps, all inside one iDevice would be another huge step forward. Sure, being able to come up with ideas in apps like Modrum or Bassline is cool, but imagine if you could record all your different ideas from different apps into one complete song, all in one iDevice…
