Last time I checked there are lots of DIY remote controller apps out there. I think the complexity of the Xpander, having to use sysex commands and the business model for selling apps makes it hard to do. The number of Xpander users could not be much larger than 3000, and even that estimate would depend on all of us using ipads. Karl ________________________________

I agree, but software could be used to visualize most of the settings at once or change several of them quickly by using a graphical patch map similarly to Korg Chaos Pad or readily programmed patches, for example. I also think that iPad is better for this than Korg's Pad due to higher resolution and programmability. And, you can use iPad as a MIDI "keyboard" as well as controller. This is what I have in mind, but the sound unit replaced with an Xpander/M12 as the sound source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np7t3t449cE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OI46zvcmWo Cheers, Tiitu. --- In xpantastic@yahoogroups.com, Omar <holografique@...> wrote:
