What if…
Make an app a node…? (That would be epic).
I emailed the developers:
I’m going to at least make Audulus an Audiobus client. I agree — it would be really cool to have apps as nodes, but I’m guessing Audiobus isn’t going to make it easy for another app to act as a server, since that’s what their app does. We’ll see once they release.
More on CDM and Palm Sounds.
Description:
[!!! Be careful this application does not provide a sound, it is to control the sound in the studio - it's not a sequencer, it's the midi controller]
Midi Studio it’s great midi controller for your home or professional studio. WIth this application you can play on a virtual keyboard, move faders, knobs, play with drums pad. One of the best feature of this application, it’s playing your notes with velocity sensitivity, you can hit the screen, stronger or weaker. Also you can change modulation using the surface of the keys, you can change a pitch, you can use built-in arpeggiator and many other interesting features.

Their website has a list of features that they will be implementing in version 2.0:
In next version of Midi Studio we plan to implement following things:
- Ability to create your own layouts/templates and controls. - It will be interesting and a big update, so in theory your controller in Midi Studio can be look same as your favorite working device/vst plugin… Imagine that you see on the iPad/iPhone screen – Ableton Live’s plug-ins, Logic’s synths/effects, some vst/au plugins like MiniMoog, some hardware synths or mixers like Mackie Control, Behringer, etc. And all this can be have exactly the same look, so left for you only touch with your finger on a screen then control your work with it. It may be downloaded already created templates by us or you can create your own controls with different layouts.
- Basic transport Controls at the top of the screen.
- On/off solo, rec buttons near faders. etc.
- Longer faders, Horizontal faders
- Jog
- Dial
- Different Velocity Presets
- A more different key sizes
- Ableton Live presets for (Midi Sync settings)

The Mobile POD (App Store link) and Mobile In (Musicians Friend) from Line 6 offer a solid high quality (dock) interface for guitars and other instruments. The one thing it doesn’t offer though, is a line out… Somewhat of a let down if you were looking to preform, because you’ll be stuck with your iPhone’s headphone jack. This will probably never happen (considering how big of a company Line 6 is) but it’d be nice for an in-app-purchase to be added allowing use with other iOS interfaces. It’d probably be no less than $19.99 (the usual cost of gear simulation apps) as you would be avoiding Line 6′s deal: get our interface and you don’t have to buy the app. If you think about it though, that’s pretty fair because there are no in-app-purchases in the Mobile POD, so you’d only be spending $80 total (the cost of the interface). It’s just that line out that’s bugging me… Line 6 did release a 2nd version of their original Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer, so who knows, maybe we’ll be blessed with a Mobile In II…
The Mobile POD app is only compatible with the Mobile In, but you can still download it to see all the gear.

GarageBand for iPad has this, and it’s soooooo useful! If you’re in an app like Music Studio, and your song is anything more than 30 measures, you dont want to constantly be zooming out and hunting for the next part of the song you want to work on. GarageBand’s ‘Song Sections’ feature takes complete care of this. You can zoom in, and/or jump to, a section easily by tapping on the ‘Song Sections’ button in the upper left hand corner, and selecting a part. Not only is this useful from the track sequencer, but also from instrument pages. Instead of returning to the track sequencer to position the playhead for recording, you can simply select a part from the ‘Song Sections’ menu and the playhead will position itself at the beginning of that section… Brilliant! It’d be awesome to see more studio apps add something like this, especially ones that run on iPhone. The smaller the screen, the more shortcuts you need…

SongSterr is a legal (song artists get paid) online guitar/bass/drum tab player where songs are updated by users just like articles are updated on Wikipedia. This provides for highly accurate tabs, and best of all: you can listen to the tab and follow along as it scrolls across your iPhone! It’s also got a Most Viewed section, which is a great way to find other songs to learn. Brilliant system they’ve got there! But…
