iOS Soft Controller using "TB Midi Stuff"

[Origamidoc]

Hi everyone,

I found a lesser-known iOS MIDI controller app called "TB Midi Stuff" and wanted to share the UI configuration and MIDI2LR mapping I created.

The one down side is that "TB Midi Stuff" doesn't seem to be in active development since 2014, but I was impressed with how comprehensive and flexible the app was, so think it's worth the few bucks I spent on it.

Here's the UI I built:

There are a few unlabeled controls:

* the cross-hair sliders in the first column are mapped to the top, left, right, and bottom crop controls

* the horizontal slider immediately below that maps to "Straighten Angle"

* the red button and the five yellow buttons below "Reset All" are for rating images, 0 and 1-5 stars respectively

* all of the unlabeled, small, grey buttons "reset" the control they are closest to

MacOS, via the "Audio MIDI Setup" application, has a built-in feature that allows you to recognize an iOS device as a MIDI controller over Wifi.  In theory, you should be able to do this over Bluetooth as well, but I was never ever to figure this out.  You should also be able to do this on Windows using Apple Bonjour.

I've found it useful since my primary computer is a 15" laptop, so editing in full-screen mode using the iPad allows me to reclaim some screen real estate.  I tried to put the controls I use most commonly on one screen, which many may find cramped.  TB Midi Stuff does allow you to configure

Any feedback is welcome.  If others use the same app to design LR controllers, please consider sharing.

Thanks!

I hit "post" before finishing part of a sentence:

TB Midi Stuff does allow you to configure multiple canvases into a "snapshot" - as many panels tall or wide as your want.  So you could have one canvas just for basic controls, one for color correction, one for crop, etc.   That way, you can create a less-cramped interface if the approach I took feels too cluttered.
