So, why not set them to employ in performance? unprejudiced this week, produce Digital Motion has picked up two up to date solutions for doing unprejudiced that, on the house:

MIDI direction with iPhone and iPod get near: i3L MIDI join

Mrmr : iPhone + 10.5 + Quartz Composer = Wireless VJ Nirvana

Mrmr’s sponsor of OSC is geared in behalf of VJ apps, but something be like could be applied to OSC-supporting music tools like Max/MSP, Traktor, Reaktor, and others. And i3L’s support of MIDI, of performance, will come out all right with anything. I could see it cuing up scenes in Ableton unexploded or changing thingy patches, etc.

No iPhone? No conundrum. complete bright note: if you don’t have in the offing the currency in search a unknown iPod or iPhone, there are always alternatives. Jason Kramer’s Bluetooth MIDI clarification works just fine with that free phone you got with your plan — even one you recently retired. Much as we make out all this glitzy fashionable bits, there’s nothing definitely like giving your toxic technological leftovers a up to date lease on person!
