Using the iOS GridInstrument app with External MIDI Synths

Have any of you fine folks tried the #GridInstrument app in IOS with your #Launchpad?


This is a tutorial that shows you how to use the iOS GridInstrument app with external MIDI synthesizers.

GridInstrument is an app that turns your iPhone or iPad into a playable grid (much like the Ableton Push or scale-mode on a Launchpad Pro).

It has a simple sound generator built in, but where it really shines is in its ability to output MIDI data. It has Audiobus 3 support so that you can send MIDI to other apps. It also has MIDI out support so that you can send button presses to outboard hardware or even to a Network MIDI connection.

But the coolest feature of the app by far is that you can hook up your Ableton Launchpad controller directly to it (using the Apple Camera Connection Kit) and it will let you play your Launchpad like a musical instrument.
