Project Summary

Infinum built an iPadOS app for a sound design and music software company that handles complex MIDI and audio signal paths in real time and integrates with the client's website for account and purchase verification. They also delivered a custom web-based CMS to let sound designers manage libraries. The beta saw strong early adoption and positive feedback, and the team used Slack, Figma, and Productive with regular sprints and reviews.

Key Challenges

Create a standalone, streamlined solution for a diverse existing user base
Ensure the app is incredibly reliable for live, on-stage music performance
Handle complex real-time MIDI and audio signal paths and sync them with a website storefront for account and purchase verification
Provide a web-based CMS for the client's team to add and manage sound libraries
Coordinate development sequencing so back-end work keeps pace with fast-moving front-end/iOS progress

Project Deliverables

iPadOS app capable of real-time MIDI and audio signal processing
Website storefront integration for accounts and purchase verification
Custom web-based CMS for managing sound libraries
QA and beta release support (TestFlight to public release planning)

Project Solution

Built a native iPadOS application that handles complex MIDI and audio signal paths in real time and integrated it with the client's website storefront for account and purchase verification. Developed a custom, web-based CMS to enable the client's sound designers and musicians to add and manage libraries. Staffing included a project manager, graphic designers, front-end developer, two full-time iOS developers, two full-time back-end (Rails) developers, and a QA resource for the latter stages of the project.

Project Outcome

33% of the existing user base downloaded and accessed the beta within a few weeks
Positive user feedback on the app's performance, design, and feel with very few bugs
Progressed from TestFlight beta toward public release after a couple months
Smooth personnel transitions with effective replacements and no interruption to progress
