I asked them about multiple AirTurn pedals. Short answer, they didn't get my question. But, I'm hopeful that soon there will be multi-pedal support.

Are you saying they didn't understand what you were asking? If true, I'm not surprised. I'm always trying to explain ideas and products in an attempt to find other devices to work with them. It's often that I know more about them then they do, and that's sad, really.
Lets not even talk about trying to explain why I need a machinist to make a one-off part (from a drawing I've made) for an offroad vehicle, or other some other goofy thing I'm working on.
I've both Apogee Jam and iTrack Solo. I use the Apogee Jam seldom, mostly when I'm traveling. The iTrack is both AD/DA converter. So it has a dedicated headphone amp and line out.
I don't think the product was ever developed with the intention of using to control JamUp or similar apps. It was simply a page turner. This is probably why there is no expression pedal support and the design of the unit doesn't look at robust as something like the Blueboard ( still vaporware ). They probably need a musician or two that actively use iOS/PC/MAC in a sound chain to advise them on how their products are being used in the real world and the different situations that can be encountered.
SO, clearly Duke is the guy with inside info this time around but sounds like you still have an ear to the pavement
SO, why the iPad reference?? new stuff going to be requiring more screen space or extra horsepower of newest iPads?
You're correct, the product wasn't designed with that in mind, however, I asked JamUp, not AirTurn. It would be nice if you could have two or more BT105s hooked up in your Bluetooth device list, and assign one set of controls to BT #1, and one set to BT#2. And no doubt the folks at Positive Grid have thought of that. I just think the people who are on the Facebook page are sometimes not the people developing the product, so they pick out quick keyphrases and think, "OH, he wants to know how to hook up his BT105 for JamUp. I'll cut and paste the standard response to that"
Some of the new stuff won't be available for iPhones, just iPads. When I did the beta testing for PG, I only used iPhone.
The new stuff is iPad only (I'm expecting, I don't know for sure), so I guess it'll be time to upgrade.

Anyone know if this is also true of current gear or JamUp? I never thought to check to see if everything is the same...
Well, this could be the push to sell some of my gear to purchase an iPad as replacement and dedicate it to music

Can't see a difference between phone and iPad app at present but iPad is much easier to navigate plus cubasis is a dream for recording into via audiobus and writing on the fly. No in app purchases needed once you have cubasis . Auria apparently has the edge with plugins but the results I've had with cubasis are professional audio quality so much so that I sold a tune I wrote on it!
Indeed, that would be very slick. Also, at about $65 for a magic box that has 4 patches, adding pedals would be easy to expand. Handy people (like myself), could easily put an expandable pedal board together.
Although, it's also true, as mentioned before, these are temp-switchs... No Expression for You. You have been deemed unworthy.
It occurred to me... If we have four BT105s, how would OnSong pick out the one for page turning?
iPad have better CPU/ GPU and of course bigger screen. Several apps are iPad only. Auria, Cuabsis etc.

Jamup itself is platform independent. Regarding the new stuff, I'm not sure, but I guess at some point limited screen size and CPU capacity demands iPad. In addition there is the issue of interface, as several types of interface are iPad only.
Hoping for some announcements on the new iPad lineup soon.. Would like to see a new iPad Mini with faster processor. Love how light it is when you hold it for extended period. I think it's going to be more a question of screen size than anything because the iPhone 5 has a very fast processor in it and I believe it's almost as fast as the most current iPad.
I think what it comes down to also is a company like PG will look around to see what most musicians are using and I imagine the answer is the iPad over iPod/iPhone and again, that is probably because of the size of the screen making apps more useable. I know that is my biggest complaint when using certain apps is screen size... I see an iPad in my future.....

Couldn't agree more. An iPad is my next musical purchase (well, maybe a Blueboard first).
I don't have any problems with processor speed on my iPhone 4S, but the tiny screen has already resulted in a few scrambling moments to turn off a pedal I didn't mean to swipe into play.

Can't argue the small screen of the iphone is a hinderance, but the ability to have a decent project studio in your POCKET is a huge boon.
I've never once heard JamUP would be going iPad only, that would stink.

Oh definitely. The ONLY problem I have with my iPhone is the screen size,, NOT performance.
BTW, I haven't posted much in the way of new material the last few weeks, but there's some in the works.
I've been busy as heck learning songs for the new band, so when that calms down I'll be back to writing.

what I've meant by performance is more regarding heavier apps then Jamup, stuff like Auria, Cubasis and other future apps.
Hey guys, GB has been updated today and there's "use with music apps" in the settings,anybody discovered any other new features?!
I've not heard anything about Jamup being iPad only. My guess is that this issue is very dependent on how Apple will keep using the same base hardware on iPad and iPhones in the future. If Apple choose to equip the iPad with much faster CPU then developers might need to choose iPad only app, well like Autia. But this is only my guess.
