Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer Updated With New Features And SDK
Turn any iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch into a complete music production studio with the help of the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer. Updated with new features and an improved software development kit (SDK), MIDI Mobilizer offers a host of added features that benefit the growing MIDI Mobilizer third party app developer community.
According to Line 6, MIDI Mobilizer is the only MIDI interface that can turn all models of iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch into complete music production studios with third party software applications (available from the App Store).
"The SDK and firmware updates have inspired more than 90 software developers worldwide whose inventive apps are really demonstrating the full potential of MIDI Mobilizer," said Chris Grigg, mobile products manager at Line 6. "Musicians of all kinds are now taking advantage of its enormous creative and practical uses."
The SDK supports MIDI System Real Time messages such as MIDI Clock, which allows an app to sync to an external hardware drum machine or a sequencer running on a computer, or vice versa -- the drumbox or sequencer can sync to the app.
Available apps include MIDI control surfaces, synths, sequencers, and complete music production software, as well as DMX lighting control software and more. Recent additions include NLogSynth Pro with 126 synth sounds; StepPolyArp, which is a step MIDI arpeggiator; NanoStudio, which is a virtual recording studio; and many more. All of these apps are available from the App Store.
