Hi y’all,
I’m taking the iPhone apps to the next level and developing a wireless polyphonic English MIDI concertina controller app called “Miditina” based on Englitina. This app uses WiFi to send MIDI control data to either a Mac or Windows system running a small server application, the MIDI data can then be delivered to sequencers, software synths, or routed to external hardware synths connected to the system via a hardware MIDI interface. It supports note transposition and optional realtime control messages like volume, expression, modulation, and breath control using the accelerometer built into every iPhone/iPod Touch.
In my home studio, I’m able to test the Windows configuration, which is working really well, but before I release the app, I’d really like to get some feedback and some testing on Macs and other Windows configurations, so I’m looking for anyone who might be interested in being a beta tester.
Here’s the requirements:
You must have an iPhone or iPod Touch (2nd generation or newer) running OS 3.0 or newer.
You must have a Mac OS X or Windows based computer and are familiar with use of MIDI port routing on the platform, use of software synthesizers, sequencers, and installation of drivers, etc.
Ideally, you should have a hardware MIDI interface on the computer connected to an external MIDI synth.
You must have a home network that is visible to both the computer either via WiFi or Ethernet, and the iPhone/iPod Touch via WiFi.
If you meet these requirements and would be interested in being a beta tester, please contact me via private message.
Here’s more information about the application:

I would like to complete the testing in the next couple of weeks, looking for two or three beta testers.
Cheers and many thanks,
Michael
