Tobias Åslund Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 The Line 6 Midi Mobilzer and Akai SynthStation25 are two new ways to MIDI control your iphone, but what about apps that support them? And are the two compatible - i.e. can the Akai SynthStation app be controlled by the Line 6 interface and vice versa (line 6 compatible app played from the Akai keyboard? I saw mentioned here in another thread that "there are many apps coming out that the support the MIDI mobilizer". Yet a search at the (swedish) app store only comes up with 4 results. What I'm really looking for is an VA synth app like the Akai SynthStation which could be controlled from an interface like the Line 6 (don't want an extra keyboard like the Akai). Any ideas? Too much stuff, too little time, too few gigs, should spend more time practicing...! 🙄 main instruments: Nord Stage 3 compact, Yamaha CP88, Kurzweil PC4, Viscount KeyB Legend Live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I can't speak to the Synth Station, but I have the MIDI Mobilizer. It works great. I've used it for data backups and dumps...and I also have it set up to play the Lowrey line when my band does Baba O'Riley. Kinda cool. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias Åslund Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 So Dave - are you using the iPhone for playing back a midi file, triggering some other synth or is it some other app altogether? What I'm looking for - I mean, there's alredy a lot of nice sounding synth apps for the iPhone, but they're a bit tricky to control from the small screen. Ok, there's the iPad, but still - sometimes you would like to control it from a nice feeling keyboard instead. We're probably just seeing the beginning of apps supporting the Line6 and Akai offerings - I guess I have to hold out for a few more months... Too much stuff, too little time, too few gigs, should spend more time practicing...! 🙄 main instruments: Nord Stage 3 compact, Yamaha CP88, Kurzweil PC4, Viscount KeyB Legend Live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Paxton Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Bumping this thread to see if anyone has heard anything more about developers incorporating support for the Line 6 device into existing synth apps. I've got a few synth apps in my iPhone, and as of now, they're fun toys to play with occasionally. If I could trigger them from an external board, that would instantly transform them from cute toys to part of my everyday rig. I'm actually a little surprised that developers haven't been more aggressive in jumping on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
