In the future, I will create a general MIDI controller unless someone beats me to it and I will also open up the remote for expansion by 3rd parties.

Finally, the DJ remote is in the works. It will control two sets of machines running iTunes. Simple but will work (I hope). You will be able to cue songs on each "deck" and a largish cross fader will fade between machines. Look for that to "preview" next month.

So, if a connection to the "controlling computer" is required, is the iPhone (without being modded/hacked), for lack of a better term, a thin client cellhpone as I have seen described in a post elsewhere?

I've been using the Tranzport ([www.frontierdesign.com]) from inside my booth for a couple years now to control Pro Tools and it works superbly.

On a similar but completely different note, I'm still waiting for someone to develop a wireless Roland 13pin guitar deal. [Sure, I could do it myself, but I'm lazy and would rather pay someone else to do the R&D and actual building.]

That would be teh awesome.

If the iPhone had virtual turntables I can imagine cuing up would have it sliding everywhere.

this is already available in many other more useful implementations. control surfaces are NOTHING new. remember, you have to spend $300 for the phone plus $200 more for the software. that's ridiculous.

buy a real surface unit and get the tactility of knobs and faders. wtf. this is a gimmick, at best.

As far as this app, it looks wonderful and the refresh rate is something I wish was natively available for other VNC/remote programs...maybe with actual native installation (SDK) we'll be able to get more of this.

@Manos_Lijeros: These programs don't require the internet to run on the iPhone, but they do require a connection to the computer they're controlling (whether that's through a router with or without internet access or through ip and DNS connection to a computer)

I don't have an iPhone (still love the Treo 650), but I thought these apps were not stored on the phone itself but on a web-site somewhere. One of the reasons I like my Treo is that I often travel outside of GSM covered areas. Anyone clear that up for me?

Thanks...

I'd love to see him make this a universal midi application rather than a pro-tools specific one, but hopefully that's in the works.

I still want somebody to make what I think would be the best DJ application ever: A virtual turntable on the iPhone. Give me the ability to pitch shift and bend any track in my library, and a virtual turntable for vinyl-like control and you could really have something here. Connect two of these up to a mixer and "iPod DJing" could actually mean something other than arranging a playlist.

Nothing against it because it's awesome, but SOME controls might be a little hinky to do remotely like that if you're doing stuff for reals.

Processing and network latency is what kept me using direct RF control links for my ROV project a few years back as opposed to trying to cram everything I needed to do over a WiFi or other type of link.

Of course what's being done today is blowing away any thing that was being done even as recently as a few years ago and my ROV is gathering dust, obsolete, in a closet, so there you go. :\

His interface is made for the iPhone and uses his own light-weight communication protocol to communicate with the application. This is completely unlike remote desktop control software. This is lean, clean, specifically designed to do a tast efficiently and, simply, just perfectly executed. And fun too.

Seems like he's kinda re-inventing the wheel...

install and enjoy (also install add-on apps called Tapps here: Tapps apps)
