Thanks for the quick reply Anomad and David!
Firstly, let me just say that I was able to find a kind of work around using the Mobile Mouse app for my iPad to draw on the Canvas in the Painter Module. I was pretty pleased with myself for figuring this out! Hahaha! Basically the Mobile Mouse acts like a giant trackpad, and you can use your finger (or stylus) to quickly double tap and then hold and then drag the cursor around the Canvas. There is a little bit of lag since it's using the wifi connection, but it sure beats using a mouse or using the trackpad on my MacBook Pro!!!
Anomad, I would definitely recommend it as the poor man's alternative your Wacom solution (

Anomad, I also tried your TouchOSC solution and couldn't get the Painter Module to allow itself to be programed in the MiDi Map (which I assume is what you were suggesting). Either way however, I find the Painter Module quite limited, and I suspect that is because very few people actually use it or have a desire to use it. However, a really robust and elaborate version of the Painter Module is exactly what I'm looking for!
I do have a "Lightning to VGA Adapter" for my iPad (yeah, I'm using an older video projector so no "Lightning Digital AV Adapter" ei: HDMI...), but the problem is that I want to have the iPad as a feed in Modul8 so that I can manipulate it and crossfade, etc. I have been swapping out the VGA cable between the iPad and the Mac, but again, that's not ideal and of course you have the big bright blue screen that pops up and everyone thinks something has gone wrong for 5 seconds while the projector detects for displays...

to stream iPad's Sketchbook to Modul8, I will use AirServer which has a Syphon output :

As for David's solution, does this work in Modul8 2.6.5? I'm a little weary about using the beta version during live performances. Can I bring this feed into the current version of Modul8? When you say "I WILL use..." I'm assuming you mean you haven't actually tested this out yet, correct? Either way, I'm setting it up right now anyway to test it out, and will report back over the next couple of days with either success or failure! AirServer has a free 7 day trial (and a $14.95 purchase price) and it says that it's fully functional, so hopefully this can work for me!
Thanks!
