I’m hopeful it will be an Übercaster replacement, which is what I currently need Farrago/MiX16 Pro, LoopBack, Logic, and a few extra process pieces to emulate (as best I can).After discussing things like Liam’s Macros for Quick Sampler, or FloMouse, there has been questions about Keyboard Maestro and what it is. I am intrigued what their recently teased product will be, though. I’ve messaged Rogue Amoeba suggesting they need an iPad remote for Farrago and they do have the idea on their books, but no indication of when/if it would happen.

MiX16 PRO is an alternative to Farrago which has excellent MIDI support but the interface isn’t a great ‘runtime’ view and its audio routing requirements are more complex.Farrago’s response to MIDI signals seems haphazard, though the previous point may feed into that (I tried a LOT of configurations, though).


I figured the first part of a different take on this would be the ability to fire a keypress directly at Farrago and I now have that working… I have a (zsh + Swift) script I can run which will send a specific keypress to a specific app. Also, the third party midi apps I have tried aren’t terribly reliable with it. For instance, you can start a sound but you can’t stop it. Farrago does have midi integration but it’s pretty basic.

Especially because a key press in the wrong app may have undesirable effects. Hitting the key for a sound is easy, but it only works if Farrago is the active application, and making it thus in the middle of recording is a cognitive load I don’t want to have to deal with.

The use case is firing sounds in Rogue Amoeba’s Farrago with minimal cognitive load.

I’m half way there but now I’m in need of some iPad software to complete the setup. So… I set about finding a way to replicate it cheaply for that use case, using only software and my iPad mini. A friend recently got a StreamDeck and I’ve been tempted to get one, but only really for one specific use case.
