I agree that that for nearly everyone elses automation it's similar. I'm saying that PG staffers need to look at this demo and see how they could preserve what they have built up over the decades, but open their minds to the way that a whole lot of other people think about music production on computers.

I've been automating filter cutoff frequencies and resonances for quite awhile, but it's still a bit difficult to record them without a good control surface (mouse doesn't count). The iPad is an incredibly flexible control surface. The fact that it's all self-contained is what is cool.

Right now, I have to train the plugins through my DAW, for which knobs/sliders control which plugin parameters. It doesn't always work smoothly because sometimes plugin devs have pre-determined which CC does what and sometimes those are pre-mapped to knobs and sliders on my midi keyboard (Oxygen 49). When that happens, I get a mess of stuff happening that I don't want happening. I like that with the FL Studio iPad app, it's an all-in-one thing. Heads off to check price to see if it's available for iPhone....

15 bux. Next iTunes card I get, that's where it's going...
