Playing with FunkBox, Little MIDI Machine, MonoTribe and Omega 2

So does the App Store version have this amazing multi-tasking support? If not when can we expect it? Thanks!

@likewhatisay FunkBox has the multi-tasking support. I've been working on an update for LMM that includes it for a long while and gotten derailed three or four times for various reasons. I'm back on it and hopefully will have something to submit soon, sorry for the long delay.

Nice! How do you sync iPad to iPod (Korg SyncKontrol) ??

@ikku4649 Thanks. FunkBox is the master MIDI clock on the iPad, it sends MIDI clock out via WiFi to the iPod Touch running SyncKontrol, which is connected to the MonoTribe. I've found this to be a little flaky, sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't, probably depending on the WiFi network. I've also synced up the MonoTribe directly from FunkBox using an audio click, but this often double triggers the MonoTribe sequencer. I plan to include a better sync sound in future versions of FunkBox.

Great! My favorite drum app rocking out with sequenced synthesized beeps. How do you sync up LMM to Funkbox?

@warp2600 Thanks! This is a beta version of the next update for LMM, which includes multi-tasking support so you can sync the two apps and switch back and forth between them. You sync them up just like you'd sync FunkBox with BassLine or MoDrum or Molten. It will also in theory allow LMM to sequence a synth app, as soon as there's a synth app that supports multi-tasking. Currently I don't think any of them do...
