Can I link to other iPad apps using MidiBridge?

Question

Can MIDI Designer be used to control tweeks in other MIDI-enabled iPad apps running in the background?  Connect together via something like MidiBridge?

I haven't tried but I could picture using this with a USB or WiFi keyboard controlling multiple iPad soft synths, with their controls laid out with MIDI Designer.

Hi and thanks for your question. You really don't need MIDI Bridge (although it might provide some functionality I'm not aware of). You can just use Virtual MIDI, which is built into MIDI Designer.

See this link. and also this link.

If you haven't bought MIDI Designer Pro yet, I strongly recommend that you try all this out with MIDI Designer Lite to make sure it does what you want how you want.

Comment back here if you cannot get this to work. THANKS!

Great!  Virtual MIDI is easier, seems like it "just happens" when you have the right apps running at the same time.  Perhaps MidiBridge is needed when the apps aren't using Virtual MIDI (not sure what the differences are under the hood).
