Thanks to this forum I got the message about Tornieri´s 3rd Party-Dashboard.
First look at it yesterday: It seems to work (at last with my Blocks WLIN (M)). When I find the time I might write another commentary.
For the Pad Block to be able to switch thru different Block Modes (they go from 1 to 5 blocks grid) you first have to click on "Load Default Program". (Otherwise its in the mode you uploaded from PC/Mac and it wont switch Blocks via Tornieri´s App).
Of course you can not upload the Roli-Programs to the Blocks Pad as you can from PC-Dashboard, but there´s no need for them on IOS!
From first look:
Everything one needs! Midi Config, MPE/Multi/Single Channel switching, 5D Parameter Control, Performance-Control (Chords, Scale, Blocks, Glide) and more.
So: First look: Thanks a lot, it looks great!!
I found this dashboard app by accident last night and have been trying it out. By god, it works! There is a good deal that you can do in the app. It’s not as feature rich as full dashboard on Mac, but the basics are covered and work well. Cheers!
I agree completely with the above. I use midi filtering on my iCM4+ interface to filter out the CC74 message and am a bit dissappointed it's such a hassle to switch from MPE to regular midi. I really like my Seaboard Block keyboard and would happily invest in a MkII if it had these features added.
As much as I'd like a full ROLI Dashboard for iOS, the BIG thing I need to be able to do on mobile is switch between MPE and single channel MIDI.
Sometimes I want to use Noise with full 5D touch, but other sampling engines need the single channel MIDI (unless I can figure out a workaround).
Thanks for the advices
Do you have an API for doing this? If so, we could write our own :)

I use iOS apps almost exclusively at this point with my Seaboard Blocks and Lightpad Blocks. A Dashboard for iOS would really help.
