The MIDIdial homepage: mididial.bartnett.com
The weekend of October 2nd last year me and my friend Dalia Coss rolled up to the HackNY 2011 Fall Hackathon, and won. Our hack was a webserver that would interact with Twilio and allow you to transform your phone into a MIDI controller via a touch tone menu. It doesn’t even have to be a cell phone. We’d like to thank Andrew Montalenti for showing us the Tornado framework for Python and Rob Spectre for letting us bug him all night with questions about the Twilio API. Also, shout out to Hacker League for making an awesome hackathon platform and testing it in the field for the first time there.
It was called midiPhon originally but some people with an existing iPhone app named midiPhon sent us a nastygram, so we’ve since renamed it to MIDIdial. We got some fun press for it, people tweeted how thought they cool it was, and we were mentioned in a couple of articles. Read on for info about how we did it.
