Luminair has added support for the Ohm64, and made this awesome video showing how it works.

Luminair for iPad is an advanced DMX lighting control app, which works by transmitting DMX over Wi-Fi to compatible Art-Net and sACN DMX interfaces, lighting fixtures, and media servers. Luminair has a refined, configurable user interface that features wide fader controls, large trigger buttons, RGB and CMY color pickers, XY grid controls, and simple touch-based channel assignment. In addition, Luminair has an advanced cue playback system, capable of continuously and seamlessly transitioning between hundreds of different lighting “scenes”.

Luminair was recently updated(v1.1) to support external MIDI control, among other notable new features such as remote control via OSC. The new MIDI implementation features an easy to use MIDI-learn mode, along with full mapping save and load capabilities. Users can assign external MIDI controls to faders, cue trigger buttons, playback controls and much more. Luminair works with CoreMIDI via Apple’s USB iPad Camera connection Kit, as well as Line 6′s MIDI Mobilizer dock accessory for iOS devices.

The variety of control types on the Ohm64 makes it perfect for using as an external MIDI surface for Luminair. The configurability of both the hardware and software give users a lot of flexibility in setting things up to their liking. The Ohm 64′s knobs can be assigned as RGB and XY encoders, buttons to Cue triggers and other actions, while sliders can mapped to Luminair’s control and playback faders. Also worth noting is the great design of the Ohm64 hardware being the perfect compliment to Luminair’s UI, making for a very enjoyable user experience. Like many other USB MIDI controllers, using the Ohm64 with Apple’s iPad USB Camera Connection kit currently requires a “powered” USB hub, due to the iPad not supplying enough power. Other than that, it works great. Take a look at http://synthe-fx.com/
