Hi,

If you like the way the Nord Stage allows us to plit/layer/control its sound modules, then you'll probably be interested by this iPad application :

Sounds interesting!

The advantage comparing to other similar apps is the keyboard-split setting, especially if you play patches from different sources.
A little expensive though...

No, it actually does not make any sounds. :P

It does if you drop it. ;-)

Anyway, some other (and less expensive) apps that can manage splits from a controlling keyboard would be MIDI Breakout Box and MIDIBridge.

Looks very impressive. I wonder if it plays nice with Set List Maker?

It plays nice with acrobat reader and Gallileo (B3), iPiano (Acoustic Piano), iLectric (E.Piano) and Sunrizer (Synth) layered simultaneously on an iPad4, a ligthning to 30 pin adapter and iRIG MIDI.

The app looks familiar? Check the original design :-)

Feel free to ask questions about the app, I am the dev.

@Darren
Yes, people use iMIDIPatchbay with Set List Maker. However, an own setlist management will be added in the future.

Best,
Johannes

I contacted Nord and wanted to know if they were fine with a third-party app with their design. They were happy that I asked and said... that it would be better for both sides if the app had a unique design. Since I already had changed my original idea of making a tool for Nord keyboards towards making a universal midi tool, that was fine for me.

@Ramon The old design did not include the red color since the UI only represented the gray panels on black background (like on the Nord PIano). So, you would have had to put the iPad on your red keyboard... or get a red smart cover :-)

@frantzkb Thanks for your feedback via PM.

Best,
Johannes
