Reply to iPad as an additional controller?

Hey DJTT,

So I have 2 iPads sitting around in my household, and I was wondering how I could put these (though I'm really only looking to use 1, not 2) into sync with my KS4 and Novation Launchpad (mapped to TPS4).

I've searched around, but I just find interfaces for the iPad that mimic the layout of a mixer. I already have the KS4 to handle the general stuff, and I currently use the Launchpad to juggle 32 Cue points as well as control some C/D functions, etc. (Though 2 MidiFighters would be nice instead.)

Basically, I want to know if there are any cool layouts out there for the iPad that allow me to use it as pads, or get some serious additional FX control so I can really utilize the 4 FX slots--almost like adding an X1 or a MF. I hear some professionals talk about having an iPad alongside their full setup, but I don't know what exactly they do.

If you have any other suggested uses besides the ones listed above, I'm all ears!

Thanks! Sorry for the long post!
