MIDI Layers for iOS - Preview

Have you ever wanted to play multiple instruments from a single master keyboard during a live performance? Would you like to be able to set up keyboard splits, crossfaded layers, or create an ensemble of layered instruments? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then MIDI Layers may be your solution. Layers allows you to create up to 12 scenes, each with up to 127 layers, spanning your entire master keyboard. These scenes allow you to seamlessly switch between various layer mappings at any time during a song. Each layer can be used to route MIDI output to one of 16 ports and 16 channels. So if you have 5 layers in your scene, each layer is able to divert MIDI key input to 5 destinations, allowing you to control 5 instruments from one master keyboard. Layers can overlap, meaning you can create an ensemble of two or more instruments. Layers can also have cross fades so that you can seamlessly fade from one instrument to another across a specified range. You can also control the velocity curves of a layer if you need to emphasize note velocity at a certain set of octaves. Layers can also be remapped so that you can target a different key range on the destination instrument. For example, this allows you to have several single-note layers that can target specific drum machine samples. Each scene can be assigned its own scale, which enables you to play using only the white notes – so say goodbye to wrong notes. You can also assign Program Changes to a layer. When you switch scenes, each layer can fire off its own program change to your destination instruments. You can assign a song per scene, or have several scenes containing parts of the same song parts. Switching scenes is simple, using the on screen scene buttons, via AU parameters, or you can even add a special control layer to your scene to trigger via your master keyboard. There is so much more that can be achieved using MIDI Layers...
