Ok, I've trawled through utube and the ios store and maybe its just me but I cannot find anything resembling a good dedicated pro midi conductor app. Only apps/controllers like Ghostnote etc. which are good in themselves, but don't touch live tempo manipulation. And I'm looking for something that doesn't do just simple tap input, but something with scalable touch sliders - i mean like a number of options - with visual feedback that can give you control over external or internal sequencers tempo.
For instance, anyone who has tried playing sequenced arrangements with a choral group knows just how fast things can go south with tap tempo input on very basic taptempo systems.
A dedicated conductor app should have several methods of scalable input - tap tempo - sliders - two bar sliders with different value gradation settings that can give you fine and coarse tempo changes instantly - and also have algorithmic learning options that can create good averaging in tempo maintenance. It seems crazy to me with all the horse power of the ipad pro - nothing like that seems to be available. But if you do know of something, please post a link.

Any sign of a dedicated midi conductor app yet...?

I did try this a few years ago, and its quite good for what it does - but no ios version is listed, and its triggered by 'tapping' selected keys on querty or a motherboard - results can be hit and miss, no overall algorithmic maintenance of tempo so your chasing down phrases all the time. I haven't tried the 2024 updated version - but I don't think its what I'm looking for..

Hi ausser,
Phew! In the past 1,5 hours I've written an extensive reply to your post, only to find out that my login session expired when I hit 'submit', so it all vaporized. Gone in my browser, couldn't get it back, even from history.
Long story short, in my spare time, I have been developing an Android MIDI app for quite some time now (see my recent post on this sub forum, and the YouTube links in them), and I am open to exchange ideas on incorporating your requirements for an "ideal conductor app" into my app.
Perhaps you could draw a picture of the UI you have in mind, with some brief explanations.
I know it's not an iOS app, but perhaps you're still interested.
To be 100% clear upfront: I am still not certain that I will publish my app, although I see great potential. The main reason for this is Google's lack of privacy when it comes to developer accounts for indie developers like me. Nevertheless, it doesn't stop me from designing and coding my app. Maybe I'll see other options for sharing my app in the future, or maybe I will be prepared to reluctantly give my privacy away to the gods of Google. We'll see...
It would be nice to hear from you.
Kind regards,
KorganizR

PS/Edit: I am specifically interested in what you mean by "algorithmic learning of tempo maintenance". Do you mean that with tempo tapping, the app should keep track of the running average, instead of e.g. the duration between the last 2 taps? With the option to reset/clear this average? I'm guessing here, because I don't fully understand your requirement.
I have more questions, which I had typed on my first attempt, but let's do it step by step.
