Hi
I have started to use this app on the Ipad to control the all the keyboard shortcuts I found in Synfire Pro. It works very nice and can be used for all programs.
Actions for Ipad
(https://itunes.apple.com/app/actions-for-ipad/id564645608?mt=8)
Here is some screenshots from the ipad

Here is a video showing Actions for Ipad with other programs, but its the same with Synfire Pro

Wow, that's cool! I've experimented with Novation Launchpad in combination with Bome's Midi Translator but this lacks due to missing graphical or text-based representation on the Launchpad-device. One simply can't remember all of the assignments. But this looks very good also because it switches with the program you're running. Great find, thanks!

I've picked up a copy too, tried it with the builtin ableton template which needs a bit of work in my opinion to lay it out better but all the shortcuts are there. Love the way it switches between the apps automatically.
Thanks for the heads up on this..

Grabbed this app, too. Very smooth behaviour. In addition, this post made me look for some more fun stuff and found this:
Palette running on an iPad powered by "Air Display" (the free version) while sitting on my couch. :-D
It also works with any program/window that you drag onto the ipad. Tried it with a soft synth and a paint program. Besides a minimal lag everything's fine.

Unfortunately it isn't capable of recognizing simultaneous finger movements, e.g. controlling more than one fader of a DAW mixer window. It provides mouse pointer drags and left clicks (but not right click!) and a keyboard. Plus there's no option to zoom which makes small gui operation tedious. But...it's free! And it really works like an additional (touch-)screen.

Yep, I'm starting to see the potential of this killer combo. :-)
Already voted for character sequences, sharing sets (which will enable you to share your hard work on your synfire-action-set) and own icon styling/uploading in their suggestions board.
Again: great find. Thanks.

There must be a list of shortcuts.
It's not in the manual.
I made a thread about this a while ago, but still haven't seen a list.
Sometimes when pushing a keycombo, you are not aware of what changes.
Why don't they just produce a list of them, would speed up the workflow !
