iPad wireless control software for StudioLive
PreSonus has released a dedicated wireless control software for its StudioLive-series digital mixing consoles: SL Remote software for the Apple iPad. SL Remote, is now available free from the iPad App store. SL remote provides direct wireless control over PreSonus Virtual StudioLive software for Mac and Windows, which in turn controls the StudioLive mixer. At last, you can have wireless remote control of any PreSonus StudioLive-series digital mixer’s channels, auxes, effects, subs, Fat Channel processors, and more. Not only can these functions be controlled from anywhere in a venue by the front-of-house sound person, but custom aux mixes can be simultaneously adjusted by any performer with an iPad.
“While there are iPad apps for digital mixers costing tens of thousands of dollars, SL Remote is the only iPad solution for affordably priced mixers,” notes PreSonus CEO Jim Mack. “It’s a free app and is part of the free Virtual StudioLive computer-control system that also ships with both our 24- and 16-channel digital mixers.”
A StudioLive firmware update is required in order to use SL Remote. Registered StudioLive owners can download this update at www.presonus.com/technical-s….

Sekuensaa ??
This is a musical exploration experience in which multiple participants simultaneously interact with a sound synthesizer by arranging a special set of pieces on top of a multitouch surface.
Pieces exhibit different behaviours when placed on the surface – some act like triggers in a drum machine, some behave like a kaoss pad, while others add extra layers of sound to make the performance really come together. Pieces are sensitive to their position and orientation on the table, so users can cycle through different instruments or modulate sound parameters with a simple twisting or sliding motion.
We believe the key here is to design a system which is simple enough for people with little musical ability to enjoy, while providing enough control to allow people with a stronger background to deliver more complex performances. It´s similar to the reactable, but provides a simpler interface for everyone to enjoy.

Quick demo of the eyoControl for the iPad
eyoControl is a set of MIDI controllers for the iPad, including a control surface, a dual keyboard MIDI controller, a pad set, an X/Y controller. It connects to your Mac or Windows Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) through the native iPad MIDI wireless connection, or optionally the dedicated eyoControl Server app (Mac only) for advanced connectivity options. Check out http://eyosido.com for details.”
eyoControl includes the following controllers:
- Surface: a control surface supporting the Mackie Control protocol. Surface presents a traditional Mixer view with per-track buttons/knobs/faders, and a Panel View with quick access to the status of 64 tracks. Supports major DAW such as Logic, Cubase… (read details about DAW support at http://eyosido.com/eyocontrol/surface).
- Pad: a 4/6/8/12-pads MIDI controller with tap-location sensitive (controls MIDI note velocity) pads suitable to play drum parts. Each pad has a configurable color/MIDI channel/note. A global velocity slider adds up to the velocity control of each pad.
- Keys: a dual keyboard MIDI controller with separate MIDI channels assignable per keyboard. Choose among three key widths per keyboard, and customize key colors. A global velocity slider controls note velocity.
- mXY: a multi X/Y controller featuring four independent, highly configurable X/Y controllers. Choose among 55 MIDI continuous controllers or pitch bend to assign. Each axis can be swapped, muted, reversed, mirrored etc…
Made In Iron – combining ironing with music creation
Matti Niinimäki of Finland has combined a common household chore with music control. He transforms an iron and ironing board into a wireless music controller, capable of generating wobble bass, slicing beats, sampling, and anything else he might devise.
The ironing board itself is self-contained, sensing grayscale values on the surface. (That might mean you’d have to calibrate it to your shirt patterns if you really did use this to do your ironing, or at least put a marker between the iron and your shirts.) There’s also an accelerometer, and the device gives you feedback with vibration and LED.
Snyderphonics Manta
Analog Industries has a good write-up on the Snyderphonics Manta if you were ever curious about the controller.
“It is functionally similar to the monome, inasmuch as it is (at its base level) a bunch of buttons and a bunch of LEDs. However, the thing that makes this a vast improvement over the monome is that it has several different levels of control in addition to the single on/off state of the monome.”
eyoControl – MIDI controllers for the iPad
eyoControl is a set of MIDI controllers for the iPad, including a control surface. It connects to your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) through eyoControl Server (free download at http://eyosido.com, MacOS only) allocating a virtual MIDI port per controller.
