iPad as a controller

Sure: with this for example http://hexler.net/software/touchosc

i am nearly sure, that was obvious, did you mean something different, hans?

I use Fantastick by pinktwins http://pinktwins.com/fantastick/

and I learned everything I know about it from this patch -

http://www.mathieuchamagne.comhttps://cycling74.com/tools/mmf-fantastick/ it is a great way to familiarize yourself with the features of the connectivity. This patch will help get you started processing the data in MMF-Fantastick

If you are interested in connecting multiple devices, then you need http://pinktwins.com/fantastick/FSMultiServer.zip this object. It does not work in tandem with MMF-Fantastick, but then again you may not need to connect more than one device.

Yes! Yes! Yes! That's what I've been looking for! I've been trying to hunt down fantastick for aaaaages

Thanks for the link.

After some hours of tweeking with it, all works as expected but seems to be a bit buggy and not really rock-solid to say the least. I gave up with Max6, it was awful, much better with Max5.

I'm really sad as it's the sort of app that I was looking for since I have an iPad. And it opens a door to so much things…

Am I the only one who have problems with Fantastick ?

I gave up on Fantastick a while ago because it didn't play nicely with an existing Wifi network, but apparently it works much better if you set up an ad-hoc network. I never tried for myself.

I use TouchOSC as its rock solid with an existing wifi network, but it would be nice to use some of the display features of Fantastick, maybe I'll try it out again sometime.

I've had good results with the C74 app. http://nr74.org/nr74_software/c74.html

Cheers!

+1 for C74. Easy and reliable.

I had very little luck with Fantastick and TouchOSC was a little too complicated for what I needed to do.

@Luke : my trials were made with ad-hoc network. With standart wi-fi, it doesn't even work at all.

+1 for touchOSC. I'm going to try C74.
