Music Studio controlling background apps

http://www.xewton.com This video shows how to control apps running in the background (SampleWiz, ThumbJam, NLog Pro) with Music Studio.

Music Studio offers a complete music production environment for the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch with features and a sound quality previously only known to desktop applications and expensive audio hardware.

It combines a piano keyboard, 65+60 studio-quality instruments with sustain, a fully fledged 127-track sequencer with audio tracks, extensive note editing, reverb, real-time effects, microphone recording and much more on a user-friendly interface.

Wait, is this already added? or is it coming in an update?

[Xewton]

@iOSMusician5 Yes, it's not a new feature but a by-product of our CoreMIDI implementation since January 2011 (v1.6.1)

Great, will the imported sounds be saved in your project when you've recorded it and then closes the third party app? Greatt app btw, and keep those marvellous features coming!

[Xewton]

@kabadabadysh No, recording the sound of other (background) apps is currently impossible under iOS.

@Xewton @kabadabadysh No, it's not impossible. If you recorded the playing of the background app sounds into an audio file, instead of MIDI, it would play back. You just wouldn't be able to use traditional MIDI piano roll editing and it would take up more space/memory. But you guys at Xewton should see if you can get that to work. It would be awesome if I could record NLog with music studio.

@FRB1420 "If you recorded the playing of the background app sounds into an audio file" -> this (recording another app's sound live) is what's not possible. Or do you know any app that can do it? We'd be delighted if there were a way around this limitation.

YAMAHA PSR-293 USB MIDI works thru ARKVIEW USB 7 port HUB, i got more feasible.

[iOSMusician5]

This is like what Genome MIDI Sequencer does; not to say that you should get Music Studio instead, because there're some things it cant do.. I'm not surprised you're adding it though, it's a genius idea...
