Liine Launches Lemur Multi-Touch Controller for iPad and iPhone

Everyone remembers how their minds were blown the first time they saw the Lemur multi-touch controller in 2004. Now they can have that sensation all over again, for considerably cheaper than the thousands of dollars than the original cost.

The iPad was BORN for Lemur -- now they're together.

Lemur’s creator Liine recently introduced the Lemur for all iOS devices on the iTunes App Store for $49.99.

The proud parent of this new app puts it this way:

“Lemur turns your iPhone or iPad into the ultimate hands-on controller. Connect via Wi-Fi or USB MIDI and within seconds you’re controlling multiple elements of your music environment with ease. Either use one of the many existing templates or create your own quickly and easily with the easy-to-use drag’n’drop editor.

Why choose Lemur?

• Rock solid standard
Major stadium-touring acts use Lemur on stage. The original hardware version was introduced to the public in 2004 and Lemur software benefits from almost a decade of development. These are just two of the reasons Lemur is the name cited when talking about multi-touch control.

• Lemur can control anything
Lemur is a professional iOS controller app that doesn’t cut any corners. It lets you control anything, any way you want. Total flexibility means it can go as deep as you need it to. Lemur can control DJ software, live electronic music performance software, studio production software (DAWs), VJ software, visual synthesis software, stage lighting and more.  In fact, any software or hardware that can be controlled by MIDI or OSC can be controlled by Lemur.

• A controller unequalled
Lemur has often been imitated but never equalled. The physics engine, which can make faders and balls bounce, is entirely unique: allowing anything from a slight organic feel to absolutely chaotic modulations. Lemur goes deep: it comes with more than twice as many unique objects as comparable apps. Options for adjusting the look and feel of objects are vast, and connection to your gear is simple.

• User Library
Access templates from top artists and the Lemur community. Some of these are actual templates used on stage, others are pure studio or creative tools. Share your own or simply browse the library and download whatever suits your needs.

Hated physics at school? Now you’ll love it! The behaviour of many Lemur objects can be affected by powerful and easy to use physical models which can make your controller bounce, rebound and oscillate. Make your controller come alive.
