While this can be done relatively easy on professional keyboards, it becomes more complex if your gear consists of multiple keyboards and sound expanders. iMIDIPatchbay makes building such configurations a lot easier than it has ever been before.After connecting your keyboard and other MIDI devices to the iPad, you can easily create split zones and assign sounds of your MIDI devices to them. It's also possible to route the MIDI data to other apps if they have a virtual MIDI port. Furthermore, you can filter out controllers which is great if you want e.g. pitch bend or sustain to affect only a subset of the active sounds.WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS OF THE LITE VERSION?iMIDIPatchbay Lite offers only two programs to store to, and they are cleared if the app is terminated. Besides that, when running in the background, the lite version terminates after 30 minutes.WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?You need a CoreMIDI interface to connect your keyboards and sound expanders to the iPad.WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE?Go to iMIDIPatchbay's website in order to find a more detailed description of the app. If you encounter problems, please let me help you (you find the mail address on the website and on the info screen within the app).
