Yes but V-control is like $50.00 bucks...

@ SimpleM...

I just reinstalled rptmidi and reinstalled the app on my ipad...it takes a couple of shots to get it to enumerate over the wifi/rptmidi thing...

I'm sure you've selected whatever "named" device shows up in reptmidi as a midi device...then selected it using Mackie Control as your surface?

Once I've done that I did have to "reset" the prog on the ipad and then it worked, although for the first time in ever I found I actually had to tap on the fadwers in AC-7 to activate them...weird that...but it works fine after that...

Ahh yes, it is a clever app and I have tried to "demo" (free) which only lets you do simple transport and it does it quite well...but you cannot arm/record/etc in the free version.

I have never paid $50.00 for ANY ipad app and I have some heavy duty cad and electronics programs, let alone all the office stuff.

Besides there's absum-8, AC-7 and a host of apps that allow you to remotely control your desktop at a much less cost for entrance price.

I do not begrudge the makers of this app getting a profit, I'm sure the market base is rather slim since most muso's are continuously broke anyway...its just not worth the entrance price for to get a few more bells and whistles that I already don't use.

The iPad is great for tracking especially from another room, but its kind of an expensive transport device as a stand-alone and while this program I am sure is the cats meow...at some point everything reverts back to a tactile unit and thats where the money probably needs to go...especially considering "code"...

How "controllable" is the Jog/Scrub function in V-Control?
 
The Jog function in AC-7 isn't bad, but the Scrub function is way TOO touchy, and fairly hard to control.
That, and the "M" buttons in AC-7 are in a weird random order and evidently can't be rarranged or relabeled.

This i an idea that is worthy...if these apps allowed a lot of personalization they might be worth the steep entrance price...so far you get what you pay for and not much else...
