I picked up a Galaxy Tab a few days ago with the intention of using it for Android development.
It should happen but I won't make any promises about release dates just yet.

"adding wireless problems" - If you're concerned about this, you can use the AC-7 Core wired instead.
It needs a few extra bits and pieces though... The connection goes:
iPad -> iPad Camera Connection Kit (USB) -> USB to MIDI cable (M-Audio Uno or Cakewalk UM-1G for example) -> spare MIDI In and Out on your system

It then functions the same as a hardware unit with no wifi latency etc.

I want to use my Kindle to control my refigerator. Is there an app that will do that?

I am trying to setup the AC-7 software on my ipad2. I have the latest version of rtpMIDI (1.0.6b220). My ipad shows up and connects no problem with under 5ms latencies. I opened ports 5004 and 5005 on my router. My problem is that Sonar XT hangs on "connecting" after I set up the settings for a Mackie control per the AC-7 setup instructions. Even after rebooting my ipad and computer but Sonar still won't lock up with my ipad. Funny thing is that moving a fader on the ipad shows up in the sonar midi activity window.  Any thoughts?

Here's my opinion. This IS the future of DAWS. Not tomorrow. Not the next day. But not that far off.

And I also think that Cakewalk and the bakers see this same future and have designed the X1 interface, or at least a version that will be familiar and fit on a 'pad', to accommodate that future.

At the recent CES consumer electronic show there were no fewer than 80 new ipad competitors introduced. Android, win apps you name it.

I can see a very cool pad of some kind sitting next to my DAW controlling all KINDS of features.

It's coming and I think the bakers know it.


It's here already. Not with SONAR but with the Presonus Mixers like the Studio Live 24.4.2. You can run a virtual mixer on a laptop and with the aid of a wireless router as many as 24 different users can control their own  live mix on stage with the aid of an iPad. With in ear monitoring taking over in a big way, feedback is almost completely eliminated and no need for a seperate monitor mixer. the FOH guy is not stuck at his mixing position and can move around and check out the sound all the while having control over the mix. Awesome stuff going around for sure. Wish I could get to shows like the CES and NAMM etc but we don't have such shows in Australia.

I didn't realize how old the post was that I was quoting.

You can try pressing the reset button in the app. I finally got the app to work by pressing all the buttons till it finally worked. Now I know what button to press to get it to work. What did it for me was a button on the last screenset on the bottom. I have the Mini version so it would probably be different for you. This guy Colin may write a good program but he lacks in customer service (severely). Something as simple as screenshots from the Ipad and he cannot post them. I'm using it on the IPhone so my screenshots I take are to low res and I still can't read the SS I took.  His forum is always down too.

Zo,

my thoughts exactly, which is why I picked up a USB-abled pad.  I know I could (probably) get the blue tooth or wifi to work, but that is another thing to worry about.  I want to plug and play.

Hopefully Colin will have something for us soon.
