These new features build on an already powerful app, and now users control their older hardware such as the famous Roland TB-303 and Juno series synthesizers directly from their iPad using a wired connection. For testing compatible MIDI devices with the USB Camera Connection Kit, we encourage users to download the free tool Midi Monitor from the app store, also produced by iOSMidi.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 1.3 MB

Midi Touch 2.1 is $17.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category.
