So the Hover Bar kept on getting better. I have now found it to be most useful in controlling music surface. Here shown again with Griid Pro and the Ableton Live set of Orphion Ping Pong on the Dell U2711 monitor.

The great thing about the arm is that I can position it where my left hand rests way out from the desk. No more holding the 1.5 lb iPad 3 with two hands. Now this is how controllers should be. It is also useful with other music apps I own. Vibration is still an issue but otherwise I do recommend it.

This is working so well that I am thinking of having monitor arms for all my monitors now.

Screenshot here is what the Ableton Live set of Orphion Ping Pong looks like inside Griid Pro. I own many Ableton Live iPad controller apps including TouchOSC and TouchAble. TouchAble is the one with the most features. TouchOSC is a custom hackable version. I also write my own Python OSC hacks to interface with Ableton Live in the shell. So trust that I know how all these things work.

Griid Pro, made by Liine, does not have as many features as TouchAble, but it is however the most stable. Stability and user experience is important to me. Sometimes you just want things to work as they are supposed to. You don’t really need a whole lot of features. That said Griid Pro can use an interface update. Regina graphics would be nice.

Otherwise it is well worth its slightly higher admission price. Recommended.
