Ondes with iPad

Improvising, in a slightly disturbing way, with Soniccouture's Ondes library, using a beta version of Rob Fielding's Pythagoras software for iPad. Two passes.

This technique requires 16 instances of Ondes, one on each MIDI channel. Pythagoras cycles through them each time a finger hits the iPad, thus allowing independent pitch bend for each note.

VitalyNewman: And after I start kill Pythagoras a few times with CCK plugged in, I still need to go turn on MIDI. That's when you will see the green status light in the USB to MIDI cable if it's going to work. This is going to be a support nightmare even after I get these issues resolved. Bleeding edge!

VitalyNewman: The CCK is less reliable for me btw. When I want to connect to hardware MIDI devices (or a computer with a hardware midi connector available), I find that I have to kill (double tap from the springboard, hold its icon in the list until the minus sign shows, then press it to kill... don't just press home to exit out of it!) the app sometimes multiple times. When I see a green status light blink on the MIDI out line of my MAudio UNO USB to MIDI cable, then works well and fast.

VitalyNewman: Getting MIDI Wifi setup was trivial under OSX, but I didn't realize how to do it for a very long time. The situation is probably the same under Windows. Notice that 2 days ago, I changed the default behavior to NOT turn on MIDI or WIFI on startup. When you think Windows should be ready to accept WIFI MIDI (try with other apps), then select the MIDI and WIFI checkboxes in any order. Then I have to go to my computer and select the connection that it sees and press connect.
