Modstep has launched version 1.0 of its app that allows you to create music and jam with your iPad.
Seemlessly combine your favorite tools no matter in what shape or format they come: IAA Apps, your MIDI hardware, Mac- and PC Software, as well as the internal drum sampler and synth. Modstep speaks MIDI, Inter-App Audio, can send a trigger-signal and stream MIDI and audio between your computer and your iPad with studiomux. Use it as the centerpiece of your setup to create and perform music on the go, in the studio and on stage.
Modstep is developed and designed by Christian Blomert, Benjamin Weiss and Pascal Kaap.
