iPad controlling two synths (TouchOSC, Evolver & Nova)

For this experiment with my iPad I designed a basic layout for TouchOSC to help me control 2 synths at same time. To do that, I create a keyboard and 2 XYpads on the layout. The keyboard points to channel 1 (the novation nova) while the touchpads goes to channel 2 (DSI Evolver).

Using a Camera Connection Kit I can drive coreMIDI to a midi interface with USB. The one I'm using here is an ESI Miditerminal M4U, that gives me 4x4 midi ports and 1 USB port. By doing this, the Miditerminal get both midi signals and power thru the USB from the iPad, and let me send midi signals thru different ports. The last step is to configure on each synth which midi channel will they receive, so there I had to set channel 1 on the Nova and 2 on the Evolver. Try yourself and enjoy!

Thanks :) I was trying to find out if TouchOsc could send regular midi through an USB MIDI interface. I see that it can.
