Line 6 and D'Addario announced today the development of MIDI Mobilizer, a new portable MIDI interface, and Planet Waves Rig Remote, new iPhone software that will enable guitarists to control Line 6 guitars and amplifiers via Apple iPhone and iPod touch.

Marcus Ryle, Line 6 co-founder and SVP of research and development, demonstrated a prototype at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). He adjusted the tone of a Vetta II digital modeling amplifier and changed the tuning of a Variax digital modeling guitar from the palm of his hand. "With the MIDI Mobilizer," he remarked, "the iPhone becomes the most portable and versatile editor and tone storage device for your Line 6 gear. Finding the perfect tone has never been easier."

Lighting controllers are usually designed by lighting professionals for theatrical use. In contrast, DMXIS has been designed by audio experts for use by performers, bands and DJs. The DMXIS software is as easy to operate as any regular audio plug-in, and the light show now becomes a natural extension to the audio project.

DMXIS can also run as a standalone application, effectively turning a Mac or PC into a highly flexible and cost-effective lighting ...
