Title: iOS Virtual MIDI
Post by: KeytarPaul on January 02, 2025, 11:54:26 PM
I hope it's ok to revive this discussion.

I have switched from an Android Tablet to a 2024 iPad Pro for the instruments available. I love BH on the iPad and i have over 100 songs with backing tracks ready to go.
But I can't get BH to send Program Change to the instrument apps.
I tried with KeyStage because it can load more that one instrument on several tracks in Songs and Sections. The Midi preset from a song selection doesn't show up in the KS midi monitors after setting up KS as a device in BH and setting the midi inputs in KS.
 Any suggestions?

Do you see KeyStage listed among the Connected Ports in the MIDI Status window?

That isn't necessary because other apps could just listen on the Network Session, but if it does appear that tells us it is definitely using Virtual MIDI.

I got it sorted for choosing the Song Sections with PRG Ch.

The only thing I did differently was devote a track Midi Input to BH after I had already set
