Control Any Setup, On Stage or Across the Network Send MIDI and OSC data wirelessly to your Mac, or connect directly to hardware synthesizers and USB MIDI devices. With built-in RTP-MIDI and OpenSoundControl (OSC) support, your iPhone or iPad becomes a wireless controller for your entire studio network. Connect to Macs, modular rigs, or any networked device without a single cable. Each preset stores its own independent OSC destination, so switching between songs means switching your entire routing automatically. Front or Back Camera — Your Choice Use the front-facing camera to track your own gestures while performing, or switch to the back camera to track someone else. Point it at your audience and let them control effects, visuals, or sounds with their hands. Turn any performance into an interactive experience. Perform Confidently in Any Lighting Enhanced camera performance in low light means reliable hand tracking on dark stages, dim studios, and moody live sets. Whether you are DJing under club lighting or performing in a stripped-down venue, AirBending keeps tracking your gestures accurately where other camera-based tools struggle. Smart Presets with Custom Hand Mapping Assign up to 4 parameters per preset with flexible hand mapping. Map horizontal movement to pitch across any musical scale, vertical movement to dynamics, or build your own layout with filter cutoff, resonance, volume, and more on a single hand. Save unlimited presets for different songs, instruments, or performance setups. Custom Scale Builder Go beyond standard major and minor scales. Select any combination of notes to create custom scales, experimental modes, or unique melodic sequences tailored to your music. Works with Your Favorite Music and Performance Software AirBending integrates directly with Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, GarageBand, FL Studio, Traktor, Serato DJ, rekordbox, Resolume, VDMX, and any MIDI or OSC compatible app. Assign multiple MIDI channels and CC numbers for precise control.
