Monomachine controlled by iOS apps

Hi guys!

Trying to recreate original joystick functionality of MM on iPad, I connected Monomachine to Animoog midi output (via Alesis I/O Dock). Had hard time finding corresponding # of midi parameters that would make sense on x/y axes and the appendix to MM manual did’t help much either -) I obtained quite interesting results though.

I am not trying to pitch Animoog here. The touch surface of the app offers only two parameters to control, while MM is able to receive four. How can we emulate that?

So, how do you control your Monomachines?

the joystick on the MnM sends three different MIDI messages.
on the X Axis you’ve Pitch and on Y Axis Modulation and Breath, that’s all you need to get things to work

i experimented with using midi touch a while back and found it pretty easy to set-up. I never used it live though because there was some reliability issues and in the end the idea of one less device trumped the advantages - that and i didn’t want the confusion of an iPad on stage
