Using the iPad as MIDI-Controller for the Bluebox

[holgap]

Hi everyone,
as already posted, today I had the idea to use the iPad with the large screen as a "virtual" midicontroller for my much appreciated Bluebox. Successfully!
I got the IOS environment LEMUR (Appstore) out again and created a good to use interface for the Bluebox.

8 channel fader, channel fader for cue, out2 and master, knobs for gain, pan, fx1 and fx2 and buttons for mute, solo and record. Per midi learn I have integrated the bluebox. The whole thing is still expandable.
[see screenshot]

I connected the iPad via USB-C to USB-A midi interface ->
the Bluebox is connected to the midiinterface via midi cable. unfortunately I haven't managed to connect the iPad (LEMUR) directly to the Bluebox via USB-C to USB-A yet.

If you are interested, I will gladly provide the patch for the LEMUR environment.

Best regards
Holger

Nice ! every control in one screen ;-)
Could save me some clicks, can you give a link for it?
Thanks

I think a direct iPad/BB connection won't work because they're both expecting to be hosts. An intermediary device will be necessary.

Hi guys,

thanks for your response.

Here is the LEMUR-patch, the Bluebox preset with all the CC# and a short instruction:
