TheSteven Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 This is a Mac centric (i.e. requires CoreMIDI so it requires a Mac DAW) option/operation but even so it is interesting and less that $5 (not including $$$ for Apple Watch). http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2019/02/26/midiwrist-turns-your-apple-watch-into-a-wearable-wireless-midi-controller/ Features: Four knobs can be controlled with the digital crown Macro control over multiple synth parameters from the digital crown Remotely Play / Stop / Record / Rewind your DAW from your Watch Knobs can be controlled individually or simultaneously Knobs can be linked to preserve their offsets Four buttons can be toggled by tapping the Watch Buttons can either be stateful or momentary Program changes through the digital crown or by tapping the Watch Transport control over Midi Machine Control (MMC) XY pad with individual messages for each axis Optional haptic feedback for all Watch interactions Optional value display on the Watch Configurable colors for all knobs and buttons Configurable MIDI channels and CC numbers Save your configurations to preset for easy retrieval MIDI learn for easy controller configuration MIDI input to sync the state of the controllers with the controlled synths Advertise as a Bluetooth MIDI device Connect to other Bluetooth MIDI devices Monitor the MIDI values on the iPhone Low latency and fast response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 MY(?) Apple watch? I wasn't aware that I had an apple watch. 🤔 Wiil it work with my regular wrist watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azslow3 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have tried to use mouse for that (dedicated mouse as a MIDI controller). Cost $5, does not require watch and simpler to use then any touch device (especially as small as a watch). Back with normal controller now, big buttons and normal knobs. Most people do not try to use MiniGuitars and NanoViolines for a reason, while theoretically that is possible 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I can't get it to work with my watch either... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Not you too, Craig? I went out and borrowed one of these But that just wouldn't connect, let alone send or receive MIDI commands. Dunno, these ancient Greeks didn't think of everything, did they? NO MIDI sockets.

TheSteven Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) This cost more than $5 but twice a day the time is spot on, unfortunately the calendar is only right once a month. also it has a couple of upgrade problems...Apple says tattoos can cause watch problems Edited February 28, 2019 by TheSteven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Yep, and that one even works okay on leap years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
