Yamaha TNR-i TENORI-ON for iPads and iPhones

TNR-i – TENORI-ON – Yamaha has released a simulation of the Tenori-On on the iPad. works on the iPhone, too. 16€ isn’t cheap but cheaper than the hardware was/is. has all modes and functions of the original. it can sync to other TNRs via the Game Center (from Apple). the data on the Hardware SD Cards can be load to the App as well. not said: if it loads a sample stack of 48 sounds as the original and sending MIDI signals isn’t clear, but for that price I’d assume…

Korg SyncKontrol for Monotribe + iMS20/Tribe App

Das iOS 4 ist erschienen und kann für iPhone und iPod touch geladen werden, viele User berichten von Problemen, starkem Geruckel und sogar schlechterem Empfang von UMTS/3G Netzen und sind zur alten Version 3.13 zurück gekehrt. Sieht nach einem Problem aus und damit ist die Empfehlung wohl zu optimistisch gewesen für Leute, die Telekomzwang akzeptieren aber auf dem alten iPhone mit iOS4 arbeiten wollen.
