Switch between apps using MIDI controller

    Switching apps with midi, would be a key feature to streamline using the ipad as a keyboard, with a midi controller. Having a bunch of synths loaded up in audiobus, each on their own midi channel, and just switch channels on the keyboard to change your sound. The app switching with midi would mean you'd be able to hit a button on the keyboard, and be able to edit your synth sound on the ipad.

    Some midi keyboards have the ability to fire a midi program change message, at the same time that you switch presets on the keyboard, so you could set it up to switch midi channel to a different synth on the ipad, and switch the app on the ipad screen at the same time. Slick!

    I use the akai mpk249. You can program any button to send keyboard commands such as command + tab. It’s very useful for switching between apps or going to the launcher page.

    Fast forward to 2020.

    Is there a way to convert midi to keyboard commands on the iPad (e.g., CC to trigger command+tab) ? Or is there a way to have a midi message trigger a specific app to the foreground?

    This would be great for example if you normally have an app like Dream Foot in the foreground that is used to trigger chords via foot switch, but maybe at times you want to switch to something like OnSong if you forgot the chords for the song, then be able to switch back to Dream Foot by sending the same command again.

    AUM in its midi controls has an option for TOGGLE
    I’m sure other scripting (Mozaic, midifire, streambyter) environments and daws might have similar.

    Thanks. I have AUM but don't use it for live performance. I wonder if there is any other way. I remember there was something in iOS that allows MIDI messages to trigger a series of actions in Accessibility. Maybe something to try.

    Audiobus also lets you change apps via MIDI Trigger

    Indeed, I've done that a few times but you're limited to controlling finger gestures.
    Whatever can be controlled with your finger(s) can also be triggered by MIDI notes.Switching between 2 apps is no problem - Switching to a specific app only if the order of launched apps remains the same (4-finger swipe left or right).
