TouchDAW is a full-featured DAW control and general purpose MIDI control app for Android phones. It allows you to tweak a large set of parameters in popular digital audio applications as accessible through standard hardware control surfaces. Besides control surface emulation, the app brings a number of general purpose MIDI controllers, such as a multitouch keyboard, multitouch launchpads, a MIDI mixer, configureable xy-controller pads and the possibility to link a phone's sensors to MIDI controllers.
TouchDAW works with RTP or multicast MIDI over WIFI and also supports Bluetooth and tethered USB connections. Directly compatible with Apple's Network MIDI implementation in Mac OS X and native RTP MIDI implementations for Windows plus ipMIDI, there is no computer side server or protocol conversion software required. WIFI, USB tethering or Bluetooth connectivity is required for MIDI communication.
The app is available from the Android Market in a full featured payed and a limited free version. The latest version (1.2.5) has dedicated support for Cubase & Nuendo, Ableton Live, Logic, Pro Tools, Sonar, FL Studio, Reason, REAPER, Studio One, Samplitude, SAWStudio and Digital Performers. It will work on devices with screen resolution up to 540*960 pixels running Android version 2.1 or higher.
