I was thinking along these lines too. Like if there was an extra (optional?) programable control surface built into AB Remote so you could program it to do whatever you wanted. Or maybe MIDI designer could make their app AB Remote compatible? The idea being a single screen that allows you to control everything you need, whatever that may be. But at this point you might as well just use an external controller all programmed up to do what you want.
I wouldn't recommend that. It would be possible but the point of AB Remote is that it doesn't need additional preferences panes in the main app.
We're eventually going to do something with MIDI though.
+1 for the idea of it working within the single device. Men like remote controls, but don't always want to carry around two televisions.
One is too many and a thousand is never enough.
So this may take a while for more apps and companies to have the extended control features like the Holderness apps?
If so- that is a reason most people should grab the "preferred" apps to truly enjoy the new features? Or no?
I grabbed Sector last night and Holderness bundle this am. These were a few apps I somehow didn't have. I had Loopy already. I got that the same day I got Audiobus originally the week it came out.
I am just stuck now on Soundprism and which one I should get. (I like to use MIDI keyboard not touch screen) but feel it may enhance my new features of Audiobus better.
I saw a pic of the DM drumkit layout on the remote & am going to enlist my five year old as rhythm accompaniement on my iphone.
Gonna have to train him a bit on the Steve Reich app first though.
Yeah, it does dawn on one that the features available per app make a world of difference....glad to hear about DM. As noted, buying trigger for me was seeing Holderness options etc
I was using Jam Maestro last night thru AB & the AB tab covered the Chord Mode switch, I was irritated by this & then I wake up & it's fixed by Remote.
Believe it or not but that wasn't clear for us either. Only after we saw what other developers put in there (the Holderness apps are fantastic and Patterning is so much fun) were we convinced how awesome this is.
Patterning ... When?!?
In total agreement. One man, one TV.
Ah, but think of the possibile sonic disturbances that we could cause when, as we're having tea in a nice cafe, we each pull out our AB/AB Remote equipped iDevices and attempt to control one another's musical noodlings. Sonic chaos could ensue.
And yes, +1 for the single device idea.
Gangbang? LOL
After thinking about this more I realized that my missing needs aren't so much control as they are visual feedback. I play guitar so I will always need a foot controller to control loopy the way I want to. And since I am guaranteed to have a foot controller connected, might as well set it up to control functions of other apps too.
But what I am always wishing I had is more visual feedback of what is going on in apps that aren't in the forefront - all on one single screen without having to switch back and forth. Even if it was as simple as confirming that a preset changed after pressing a button.
Seems like AB Remote is kind of a blend of control and visual feedback. But while external controllers provide control, they don't provide enough (any?) feedback and I think this is where AB Remote could really shine. Sorry, kinda thinking out loud here (first day of trying to quit coffee - yikes!). Even though AB Remote currently requires 2 devices to operate (2 iOS devices mounted to my mic stand just isn't going to happen), of course I will still purchase it and am looking forward to experimenting with it.
Will devs with universal apps be able to use their phone UI as the compact resolution?
@syrupcore No, I don't think so. It's an intermediary resolution.
Totally with you on the importance of visual feedback. The good news is that apps can provide visual some amount of feedback in the panel and the remote app. Loopy provides great state feedback—loop position animation and current loop length on the AB panel and which loops have content in the new remote app—but not many other apps seem to take advantage of it beyond record on/off. Would love to see lots more of that! Providing stateful feedback is one of the ways a remote control app like this can beat out a hardware or software MIDI controller.
And it's a universal app so that makes it a universal remote.
I think I wanna try it in reverse where I'm using the iPad as the remote and my phone is handling all of the sound duties through Multitrack DAW. Multi outs would be cool but I'm in no hurry. I like it when features are added in a timely manner.
Lucky day for iPhone owners, though!
Totally fine. Especially with a newer iPhone which has tons of oomph...
I currently have: iPad Air 1, iPad Air 2 and 2 mini retinas. Also iPhone 4S and 5S. To be honest I haven't got a slightest leaning towards using more than one device at a time unless absolutely necessary. This clearly is a question of personal preference. I can already imagine many peeps will surround themselves with screens, especially when more than one device will be able to be hooked up. For myself, I like to keep things simple. Already having to keep track of samples on this or that iPad is driving me nuts. Got them for re-sale so will soon be back to 2
Yep. 6+ I love how you guys took a bunch of similar requests and came up with a completely different approach to the answer. What a great tool. I hope we don't find too many bugs. (fingers crossed)
@Sebastian
Great app as usual!!! Cant wait to see this with Sector and loopy
Oh come on Samplr. Add some cool doo-dads.
The feeling you get when you switch from app to app using Remote is so satisfying. It really is a warm fuzzy feeling. Thank goodness you released it when you did. I was just about to make a final decision on getting one of the control surface apps.
I like Kymatica's demo. no words... just show us how its done. this is very good stuff
You can pretty much bet on it it ain't gonna be tomorrow...or next month...or the six after that. Samplr is as it is, deal with it!
(just like hardware)
@supadom
You can't deny that a single iPad screen, under current iOS conditions, creates unwieldy management of simultaneously running apps. The dead time between double-clicking the home button and swiping across to another running app certainly opens the door to performance interruption, and sometimes even playback hiccups. Fishing for that tiny AB tab is not always a joy, either. I often trigger an unintended note on Samplr, for example, when doing so.
This works better. If your urge to keep an extra screen out of the equation trumps the advantages offered by this solution, more power to you!
I just took remote for a spin. Very sexy and worked as expected. The buttons are on a small side on 5s but links up like magic.
