Repertoire Help / Re: CC per Song

« Last post by Neill00 on Today at 04:46:36 AM »

This is how I do it.  For instance I have midi presets for the patch on my Voice live rack then another that sends the key for the harmony and yet another that sends the scale.  I could have up to 5 or 6 mix and matched midi presets per song or as little as one.

Thanks for the quick reply Arlo.

I do indeed use the basic functions (having no need for MIDI) so lyrics, calendar and pedals are the main features for me.

The tablet is a good price, so I think I might go for it.

It will work, but that's more like five years old and a few features will be missing or unsupported (particularly, MIDI will be limited and you won't have audio speed and pitch control). It should be fine for basic functions like lyrics and calendar, and will work with Bluetooth foot switches.

It's possible the Android version could be updated, but many Android devices are stuck at the version they shipped with.

Account Help / Bandhelper and Android 5.1

« Last post by The Saint on January 18, 2020, 10:49:36 AM »

Hi

Not sure if I'm in the right place to ask this question, but here goes..

I have the chance to buy a 12" tablet that is running Android 5.1

That doesn't mean too much to me so the question is, can I run my Bandhelper on this tablet...?  I'm guessing that it's a couple of years old.

If I bought it, can I update from 5.1 or not?

Thanks

Yes, you could trigger the sending of MIDI from BandHelper using a separate foot switch:

If you wanted the tempo adjust functions available during any song, you could create MIDI presets for those messages, and attach them to your layout. Then you could send them using the "Send Layout MIDI 1-10" remote control actions, which can be mapped to individual foot switch buttons.

Thanks Arlo.

That is interesting. Is there a way to send the CC-117 code from the app while the song is playing on the BB? I have my BB foot switch set to pause and outro. I'm wondering if I would have to reconfigure those for this to work.

See "Tap Tempo" and "Inc/Dec" in the BeatBuddy manual:

Repertoire Help / Re: BeatBuddy MIDI integration - tempo change

« Last post by dawnpgeo on January 15, 2020, 04:07:29 PM »

Hello.

Is there a way to change the tempo on the BeatBuddy during a song? For example, like Freebird speeding up at the end. Also, to slow the beat to a stop at the end of a song.

I have been researching the BB forum but can't find a solution. Just wondering if anyone here has any ideas.

Thanks in advance,

Repertoire Help / Re: BandHelper on IOS don’t send MIDI?

« Last post by arlo on January 12, 2020, 07:59:41 AM »

I'm pretty sure the problem is specific to your setup and not general to iOS. You can click the MIDI icon in the top toolbar and look at the Activity Log to see what MIDI messages BandHelper is sending. If it is not sending the right messages, it's a problem with your BandHelper setup. If it is sending the right messages, it's a problem with your connection to the keyboard or the keyboard setup.

You can submit a help ticket to troubleshoot your BandHelper setup:

Repertoire Help / BandHelper on IOS don’t send MIDI?

« Last post by fredrik_b on January 12, 2020, 05:12:32 AM »

Hi all!
I recently got problems sending PC-commands from BH to my Nord Stage 3. Just switched from an older iPad Air, to my new iPad Pro with USB-C port and thought that might be the problem. But as it turns out, none of my IOS units are able to send Program Change Commands to my Stage 3 anylonger.
Anyone else have the same experience?
Best...   Fredrik
