Hey Folks...
I just was wondering why no one recognized it... the iPad is finally now capable of MIDI through cable...
You have to buy the USB Camera Connection Kit and many devices will work with the iPad.

This app will then do all the work for (and for sure, there are more to come...) - just like Usini you can create your own GUI

For me - wireless connection with touchOSC is not very trustworthy - so the midi over cable solution is just fine.
Bye folks...
iPad Midi through Cable
interesting gotama,
but Usine can do a lot of more things !
waveform of your samples , text listbox and sample with drag & drop feature, drawing tool and more...
on the pad , you're limited with objets and color themes
so it's not " just like Usine"....

Sorry to tell you gotama that there is another big difference: you can play music with usine ... because it's not only an interface...
And I forgot, my touch screen cost less than 200$ for 22 inch...

yup Multitouch UI is only 10 percent of usine.
And even simply in terms of controller, other apps are just customizable templates, it's not PATCHABLE like usine
ie in usine you can decide your crossfader will auto get back to center on finger release, or not, add some time related or enveloppe stuff, randomizer ect, you PATCH exactly what you want. decide that on 5 swichs only one can be activated at a time,
record and replay your XY moves ect. not a single ipad app match and probably will ever match usine relating the
modularity. It's not just about dropping a midi knob or fader, it's about all the complex behaviours you can invent by the behind wiring, to exactly match your own needz and the ideal setup you have in mind with quasi no limits thanks to all the modules.
Not to mention the complex presets save/recall possibilities, wavform viewing or draw objects ect.
of course Ipad can be nice for basic "classic" remote, but comparing stops there.
it's like comparing a Doepfer modular system with a cheap casio synth. of course booth can play notes, but...
im glad we atlast start to see descent W7 pc slates comming in 2k11. the Asus 12 seems sexy to host usine.

Hey there...
Ok - there seem to be a misunderstanding... - i never said that it is like usine - just that you can create your own
(not very detailed) GUI.
I know the capabilities of usine. And i use them a lot and everything i want to do i can do (thanks to senso).
And i know that you three guys and the community will make it a lot better.
But one of my main problems is to control (!!!) my usine interface (or machine- i dont care that much about
the interface stuff - i care about the secret ( ) stuff usine is doing for me). Sure - a 22" inch monitor
for 200 $ will do the job. But when i am on stage, playing with 3 keyboards, i dont have the space nor the time
to set up a monitor this big. All i ever wanted is a small multitouch solution from 10" to 13" that works - i tried
horrible stuff... Besides that - my rack is standing behind me, so a built-into-a-rack monitor solution wont work for me.
And sure - a small w7 tablet would be perfect - hopefully asus will release their eeePad - but when ?!?!
and the price will also be above 600$ or 700$... I dont own an ipad - its just a good looking toy with a built in
multitouch monitor in very good size that just works - and with the option to put a midi interface to it, it seems
to be a nice thing to control my stuff. So i think 23fx23 got the idea
Good night folks...

yup sorry gotama, personally i went a bit cash because i just recentely had a discussion with a very closed mind apple fanboy on ableton that was trying to make a 1:1 compare and saying usine was too pricey, without any clues about it...thinking it was only
a multitouch controller. sure you don't look like him, but man could have a doubt at start
and sure ipad is sexy small and touch accurate and can make a really cool midi controller,(especially if app is bidirectional and you use usine as an underlayer mmm) if i hadn't discovered usine i would have got one from a long time, but there we are, and 2k11 seems at last the W7 slates coming year or multitouch monitors, so imo worth waiting a bit more..im pretty sur we will see descent alternative <=500$ this year.

ok, sorry for misunderstood..
and you're right there's no reel good small and efficient solution right now
hope 2011 will resolve this..
