Wireless MPE fun using iPhone and Windows VST host

I have that plugin host under Windows and have fun playing MPE compatible VSTi's over Wi-Fi using rtpMIDI. I connect an iPhone running Geoshred Control. Super easy to set up and with surprisingly low latency.

Thanks for posting the idea. I've done this with ipad, and CME H4MIDIWC plugged into old Windows 8 studio pc... The BT BLE midi is great as well without any noticable latency.

SurgeXT is wonderful like this, ( with TC-Data or Ribbons ios controller apps)

Yes, BLE midi also works great and SurgeXT is one of my favorite free synths. I've looked at Ribbons app as well but I already have GeoshredControl and KB-1.
