[iOS5] Workaround for iPad and iPhone w/ iOS5 running Animoog

Posted By XÏMΞK0N On In iOS,Labs | 6 Comments

Abstract

You absolutely like Moog’s latest iOS application named Animoog and wanna control it from your Mac but it doesn’t work and you are running iOS 5 or iOS 5.01. So at the moment it seems there is an issue in Animoog related to a modification in Apple’s CoreMidi stack. On iOS 4.3.x devices the CoreMidi connection worked.

Walkthru

I. On your iOS device do the following:

  1. I assume you already installed AniMoog, didn’t you?
  2. Please shutdown the AniMoog app, in case it is running. Don’t just put it into the multitasking background (or just reboot the iPad or the iPhone)
  3. then open the AppStore
  4. download Pad MIDI
  5. run Pad MIDI
  6. put Pad MIDI into the multitasking background
  7. start Animoog

II. On your Mac/HackMac/iMac/MacPro/whatever do the following:

  1. initiate Spotlight (click SPACE and CMD together)
  2. enter Audio Midi Setup
  3. run Audio Midi Setup

III. In Audio Midi Setup:

  1. go to Window -> Midi Studio
  2. click the big Network button in the middle
  3. activate Session 1
  4. Click the Plus sign (+) below the Directory and enter your iOS device's IP address (port is 5004)
  5. activate your iOS device (here it is “iPad”)
  6. Under Who may connect to me: choose Anyone
  7. go to Session and click Enabled

Cross your fingers and pray… If you put everything in order, you now have a midi connected Animoog.
