Repertoire Help / AirTurn - auto-connect?
Last post by joebear - July 14, 2025, 04:25:39 PMI have an AirTurn BT500|S-4 that I use with BH. There config is MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) running MacOS 14.7.4. Lately, every time I get to the gig, I cannot get BH to accept commands from the AirTurn unless I terminate and restart BH.
I am using emulated keyboard commands. Connection from AirTurn to Mac remains solid. But commands don't get to BH until I restart the app, then ensure that I click within the app using trackpad.
If if switch focus to another app, then switch back to BH, commands again do not make it to BH until I restart the app.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Is there any way to ensure the app will accept commands at any time the AirTurn and there Mac are speaking to each other?

Last post by arlo - July 14, 2025, 01:41:58 PMQuoteThe main issue is, if one device is loosing the connection and reconnect, this device comes with the error message ,song cannot be found' and I need to remove the songs and add it again.
I think you mean if you add a song to a set list while a following device is disconnected, the song isn't added on that device. You can avoid that problem by viewing All Songs on the following devices instead of viewing a specific set list.
QuoteJust curious, what does the ,use new peer connections' mean?
That uses newer networking code, which is still in a testing phase, but so far it looks like it's more reliable than the older code.

Last post by dr_rollo - July 14, 2025, 11:59:02 AMThe option to follow actions from is really cool and we're using it since over a year. The big benefit for us is, that we actually don't start with a predefined Setlist. We select the songs adhoc while the gig, starting with set a handful of songs for a set, then having a short break, set up the next set and so on. Sometimes I'm changing the order while playing a set or extend it by more songs. It makes the communication on stage quite easy. Nevertheless can every user switch to the songlist, or switch manually between the Songs.
We also have sometimes the issue with drops and session error. Using three iPads been controlled by mine as master.

Repertoire Help / Re: Using Keyboard for Actions...
Last post by arlo - July 13, 2025, 03:06:06 PMDoes the new app version 2025-07-11 released today fix this? I added Settings > Advanced > App Control > Use Alternative Keyboard Handler, which should turn on automatically for recent macOS versions.

Last post by arlo - July 09, 2025, 10:00:37 PMYou would use the Refresh Broadcasting button on the lead device. That would be an easier alternative to going to Settings > Live Sharing and turning broadcasting off and on.
Also, are you saying the following device is trying to auto-reconnect on a different day from when you last connected? For example, you were connected at a rehearsal and then closed the app and then at a gig the app tried to auto-reconnect? That shouldn't happen; the auto-reconnect is only intended to run if there is a temporary interruption to the network, or the app crashes and you restart it.

Connection Refused. The remote device is no longer accepting connections (306).

Repertoire Help / Re: midi program changes on ya...
Last post by arlo - July 08, 2025, 09:29:56 AMQuoteIs it supposed to be on on ch2?
You should set the channel of your MIDI Device in BandHelper to the channel that your keyboard is set to listen on.
Quoteis it right to be 1-128 or 0-127?
You should set the numbering to whatever numbering scheme your keyboard uses. If it uses a mixture of the two numbering schemes, I recommend leaving this at 0-127.
QuoteAm i assigning the right digits to bank and program?
That depends on how your keyboard maps bank and program numbers to programs. You can consult the keyboard's user manual, or search the web, or contact the tech support for the keyboard, to find out what bank and program numbers you need to send.

Last post by arlo - July 07, 2025, 10:30:30 PMQuoteTrouble is that very often my iPad, although displayed as an option on IPad2, will refuse the connection.
Do you get an error message? What does it say?
Quotethe only way to enable the connection is to untick Broadcast Actions on iPad1 then retick it and Save. iPad2 will then connect.
Does the Refresh Broadcasting button from the Live Sharing Status window also fix that?

Last post by davelson - July 07, 2025, 06:31:15 PMG'day Arlo.... It seems the only way to fix this issue is to manually disconnect at the end of a gig and re-enable at the start of the next one
I have 2 dedicated iPads for our duo... have been using them for BH at gigs for several years - no connection probs previously....
My iPad is set up to Broadcast Actions under Live Sharing, and before every gig I run Live Sharing/Follow Actions From... on iPad2 and select my iPad from the options screen. Trouble is that very often my iPad, although displayed as an option on IPad2, will refuse the connection. I've found the only way to enable the connection is to untick Broadcast Actions on iPad1 then retick it and Save. iPad2 will then connect.
iPad2 will occasionally disconnect and reconnect at random during the gig once or twice... no idea why this happens.
We use a dedicated Apple Wifi (AirPort Express).
Under Live Sharing I have Auto-Accept Connections enabled also Advanced..../Use New Peer Connections enabled
Would be a great time saver if this worked..
