Akai Release iOS SDK for Synthstation25

Some of us got a bit hot under the collar at the thought of 3rd party access to the Line 6 MIDI mobilizer, as we might start to see some really interesting hardware interfacing using MIDI. This came as a result of Apple relaxing their developer terms and allowing the use of 3rd party drivers etc from within Apps.

Now that this is indeed the case, Akai Pro have announced the release of their own AkaiConnect SDK to allow apps to interract with their Synthstation25 - a cool MIDI keyboard and crontoller into which you can slot your iPhone of iPod Touch.

The AkaiConnect SDK:

• Adds support for the SynthStation25 keyboard to your music app
• Provides app users with hardware control over pitch bend, modulation,note entry and more
• Extends the capabilities of your music apps at no cost to you

Imagine an iPad version of this thing in a full size controller. The end of the traditional keyboard workstation?
