The upcoming MIDI update to polychord lets you do some exciting and powerful new tricks with your iPad. Now you'll be able to have your music apps talk to each other, while they run in the background, and use polychord to control them.

In this video we show how polychord can control another app (MoDrum) running in the background -- all through virtual MIDI, all without any cables. Polychord sends MIDI clock signals out, keeping everything in sync.

Stay tuned -- we'll have even more exciting things to share soon as we test out polychord with some of the iPad synthesizers that are supporting this game-changing new feature.
