iPad Support

gold, thanks for sharing your ideas with us. I agree a iPad app or riggers remote function would be cool. I will definitely share your idea with our R&D people.
Sincerely,

I second this request. There should be no reason why it wouldnt be possible to have a feature rich iPad app that is on the same par as the Mac app. It would actually be easier to use, more like a controller, because you can actually touch the screen to make stuff happen.

Here is a video of the interface I made. .

I am in the process of trying making this interface available for all emulation users. Hang tight.

Nice michael. Good job.

Michael,

Is that touchosc?

Yes the interface was made with TouchOSC. I am trying to get the makers of emulation to make my files available for everyone. We will see. .

Would you be willing to share them with me? I am already setup for that software on my machine and my iPad.

At this point, I am in the process of working out a deal with the maker of Emulation where he would give me an extra Emucable for my work. It took me over two months to get my interface to fully work. Getting faders to move was very simple, some other things not so much. . . Hopefully we will make a deal and everyone can use this interface (or at least have the files to tweak it to their own likings)

I see.

Good luck!

I really like the iPad app you made, and I hope to see a release soon. We are looking for a more full featured iPad app than the current official one - and yours looks like a great start!

Thank you!

"Jingles" the moderator assured me that he will follow up with the developer about getting this going.

I said if there is enough interest shown to elation in this thread from Emulation users I will show this thread to the "powers that be".
There already does seem to be a lot of interest in this,
Sincerely,

Stuff like smart phones and these touch pads are becoming rapidly accepted by almost all aspects of this industry, especially lighting and sound. It's in the best interest of many vendors to try to support some sort of interface and platform allowing mobile device support to help out. Us small guys benefit because we can work solo. The big guys, it just gives them more options.

Well put Chris!

Just picked up an IPad myself. I was planning on using it mainly to run audio for my live show, but if there were an app that would be SWEET! Definitely post it up if there is a release for your app.

Any update on this?

Michael any chance your to a point you'd be willing to share?

Yea I would really love to have this. Emulation is anpowerful little program and with more peripherals the possibilities are almost endless. The iPad is a great tool, I just wish I could use it to design.

I would like to have it! So i i´d like to ask again: Any update on this?
I would prefer to use that Ipad interface so there would be no need to buy a touchscreen monitor.

greets,

dirk

Sorry guys. No new details about this yet.
Sincerely,

well,

seeing as elation will probably never get us iPad Support: I recently found a remote desktop app that actually works with emulation. its called splashtop, and you can get it in the app store for around 2 dollars. put emulation into full screen and your ipad becomes a touchscreen monitor for emulation. a little laggy here and there but I think it's the best we're gonna get

What you don't have faith is us to give you guys the features you want? No one said no it's not coming. We are working on it. Please be patient. We won't let you down.
Sincerely,

Well, if you guys really want iPad support right now, you can always go and drop 32k on a GrandMA 2 Ultra Lite, which is a worthless console by the way. You really need the GrandMA 2 Lite which retails for 57k to get an ergonomic, easy to use desk. At that point, why not go full tilt and get the GrandMA 2 Full-size for 79k. Heck, the Hog 3 line doesn't even have a remote focus app and/or program and that came out in 2002/2003.

It never ceases to amaze me that the people on the bottom always want more more more. But when you tell them how much it will be, their jaws tend to hit the floor. You are not going to get things that happen on consoles that cost more then cars right away on things that cost pennies in comparison. The scale to cover fixed costs alone isn't there. Nature of the beast. Like jingles said, be patient or use the other option, pony up.

To Everyone that is still checking in and wondering if you could get a little love that doesn't cost 79k... here you go, The iPad now supports Emulation. Here is a video posted on youtube and you can navigate to the website for a direct download. I hope you enjoy.

Hello All,

James (jingles) hooked me up with a link to the generic midi map for Emulation which has been invaluable for controlling it successfully on the iPad with touchOSC. Check the threads about Ableton Live and Max/MSP for that link.

James, the aforementioned midi map doesn't have control changes for speed and attack on the playback buttons. Is it possible to get those added to the mapping?

Many thanks,

Chris Brague

P.S. Jarrell, the poster immediately above me, gave me all the tools I needed to get my iPad interface happening. Definitely check out his site.
