now i just need an ip ad ....lol   not fan iof the ipad 3 specs ....high reso will be equal to low graphic perf .....

Resurrecting this...
 
I have stumbled into an Ipad3 and cannot get v control to connect.  (Win 7 X64 and Sonar X-2)
 
Installed Bonjour.  (this is a little step not advertised very loudly..)
Installed Ney-fi (downloaded 1.7 from their site)
created ad-hoc wireless network  (removes router issue and authentication issues)
My computer is visible in v-control
select v-control as the surface and v-control in and out midi device in Sonar.
 
And all I get is connecting....
 
Any thoughts ??

I always start Ney-Fi first, then Sonar, then V-Control.

In Sonar, select the Mackie Control surface and set to V-Control in and out.

Takes about 5 seconds to connect here.

Cheers,
Jerry

Tried changing up the order a number of different ways.  Ney Fi is running. I think this is a "virtual" midi issue.  I tried to connect the midi device (V-Control) in Guitar Rig and the V-Control midi device shows up and I can turn on the midi in, but when I try to learn the midi key (play in V-Control to play on Guitar Rig Tape Deck) nothing happens. It sure looks liek it should work, but just does not send and receive mid data. I also notice that the little midi LED indicator widget on my system tray that comes up with Sonar, one of the LEDs is lit solid. When you guys installed the Ney Fi, did you get 3 midi devices installed ?  V-Control, V-Pan L and V-Pan Right ? JR

Right .... After ney fi is installd select macki control is selected and in and outs should be v control

Make sure your iPad is connected to wi fi and in the settings on v control its to whatever your computer name is .. PC-whatever the name is

Is a great app ...

Maybe it's something with the router set up. I have my router straight to the computer through either net hooked through an Ethernet cable. make sure the ethernet is hook to the "additional ports" not the main port.... I had that messed up the first time I used it .... And it wouldn't work...

Then all I do is follow this http://forum.neyrinck.com...pic.php?f=74&t=102

Other wise I don't know what else to say ...try posting on their forums .. An admin seems to always help folks out there

Woohoo...I just saw this and I'd picked up a used iPad about a month ago.  Will likely be trying this out.

Midi Ox to the rescue...
Installed midi Ox and it could not open the V Control midi out port the first few times, kept getting an error.  Tried one more time to monitor port in Midi Ox and voila everything kicked in....beautiful.
 
Going to try and break it some more and see if I have fixed it for good or not.
 
So it was not ipad or IP or firewalls, good old fashioned midi port issue.
 
Thanks for all your help gents.

It would be nice if Sonar jumped on the bandwagon and built a Sonar specific app :) Charge £5 or something small.
Just as a bonus, make it compatible with various daw's lol.

I don't know if you can get much better than actually having your sonar screen on a portable ipad to control things any where you can take the iPad with you in range of a wi fi.

It's a pretty sweet app

I mean ... There it is .. Your sonar program right there on the screen .... That's pretty Sonar friendly

Sad to say I got no help at v control forums or tech support, so I decided to take the plunge and paid the 4.99 for AC-7.  ( I am super impatient....) (also - full feature is 4.99 not 50.00!)
 
AC-7 came right up and worked first time.  Did not have to use an ad-hoc network or cable anything to anything else, all wireless through my router.   The midi port SW (RTPmidi I think ?)  works like a charm and the ipad and DAW found each other across my wireless router in seconds.  The basic transport and fader functions all work great and there is a rec button on all tracks and record start on the transport.
 
This will be awesome for solo recording when I get the Ipad mic stand.
 
Just want to let you all know of another option.
 
BTW..I am still convinced that I am seeing a midi issue....AC-7 looks exactly the same trying to connect to Sonar as V-Control.  I can see midi out of Sonar and midi into the app, but nothing out of the app and into Sonar.  Until I hit the reset button on AC-7 I do not synch up with 2 way midi comms. in AC-7.

Meters are on, thanks for the tip.

The only thing for me that is not straight forward is how eq and compression and plug ins work,,,,,but that is minor for me. I do not think i will be doing too much remote plug in manipulation. For me to not have to trip over cords walking back and forth from the mic to the daw is worth 4.99!

Last night got it working with the tape deck in guitar rig.....awesome for practicing.

Thanks
