App for remote Sonar Control

Hi all,
I am just about finished on a big upgrade to my studio. I have a new drum/iso room and I want to control in remotely using an iPod touch. I have tried a couple of different ones and I either can't get them to work or it's the wrong OS (my iPod touch is 4.2).

Does anyone have suggestions on what to use to do this? Or, is there another solution? Thanks for the advice!

Tommy

    I use V-Control Pro and I know quite a few here use AC-7 too.
    I know they make both for the iPad but not sure if they offer iPhone/iPod apps.

    The screen size of the iPod Touch will probably be a limiting factor, since the apps mentioned are VERY good, but really need the screen real estate that comes with an iPad.

    You might want to look at apps that let you custom-design a layout and add only the MIDI controls you need.  

    You might want to take a look at MIDI Designer:

    Concerning your iOS version ~
    Is there a reason you have to stay at 4x?


    You might be limiting yourself a lot of ways by not upgrading, and may be the reason some of the apps you tried do not work...

    Thanks for the response guys. Mike, both of the apps mentioned are not compatible with iPod Touch. River, the iPod is a few years old and it won't update past 4.2 (thanks a bunch Apple). I guess I'm supposed to go out and buy another one of their latest versions. Not.

    I have spent a ton getting this part of the studio up and running and any hardware remote is not in the budget. I figured I only need basic transport and fader controls that I can run from outside the control room.

    I have an Ipod touch v4 (Model MC540LL).  The IOS version it shipped with was 4.  Back then I installed the AC-7CoreMini app and it has worked great ever since.  Basically I just use it for transport - remote play and record. 
     
    I recently installed an app called Custom Keypad that allows you to configure your own buttons using a free VPN remote control.  Basically you put buttons on the ipod screen and then program them to do key combinations using shift, alt, ctrl, etc..  Transport controls are really easy, but so is other stuff like switching tracks, tempos, doing step recording etc.  I like it better than the AC-7CoreMini because it has more uses.  SONAR lends itself to the Keypad because it seems like there is a key combination for everything.
