You said you were just wanting to skip over the intro during a rehearsal -- that doesn't need to be so precise, does it?

I'm not sure what you're describing with using automation and MIDI to select a section of lyrics. You can add markers to lyrics and then jump to a specific marker from an automation track or from a MIDI message, but you can't use a MIDI message to jump to a specific point in an automation track. I haven't heard of any use cases for that.

Hi Arlo,

Thanks again for your valuable help.

Receiving the continuous data is now working.
Unfortunately the resolution of 127 steps is not enough to move to an exact song position.

We will probably have to do this manually for the time being until there is a more accurate option available.

For the future, it would be great if the "Seek Automation" function could be set to an exact song position via MIDI.

I am sure there are many other bands who have divided their songs into sections (A,B,C,D,...) and would be very happy if a BandHelper automation could, for example, remotely start the lyrics from section C via MIDI.

Kind regards

Is this the app?

For Android apps, you can look within the URL of the Google Play Store listing. In this case, it's org.devcore.mixingstation

On Settings > App Control, are MIDI Input Port and MIDI Input Channel set to All?

In the App Control Status window (foot switch icon), do you see the Seek Automation action being triggered?

Hi,
I have an Android Samsung Tablet S10 Ultra.
I have created an App-Button (Mixing Station)in Layout.
Unfortunately I dont know what the package-ID is for mixing station.
Because nothing happens when I click at the button.
Does anyone know what the right credentials (Package-ID) or something else are?

Okay, I have re-checked it again, and you are right, the "Automation start/stop" functions works indeed on all positions. Sorry :-(

Is it possible to set the progress bar to a specific position via MIDI?

If have seen there is an "Automation search" function using continuous controller" but I was'nt able to get it to run.

My first test was to use the mod wheel on my keyboard to send CC1 on channel 15 but the progress bar didn't change, even I can see the midi commands in the midi monitor of bandhelper.

MIDI Data is BE, 01, 00  | BE, 01, 01  | BE, 01, ...   to BE, 01, FF

Are you sure? Automation Start/Stop starts the automation track for me regardless of whether I have already started and paused it or moved the progress bar.

Hmm,
I've just tried it and the 'Automation start/stop' trigger solution works - but only if the progress bar is NOT at the start.

I.e. if the progress bar is AT the start, I have to use 'Automation start' and
if the progress bar is NOT at the start, then I have to send 'Automation start/stop' to start the automation.

How do I do this?
Actually I only have one button to start everything and somehow I would also need to query the current position of the automation to know what command to send.


Kind regards

It looks like the Start Automation app control action doesn't do anything after you move the automation progress bar because at that point the automation is considered to have already started. However, you can use the Start/Stop Automation app control action instead, because that acts like a pause/resume function.

Alternatively, you can trigger the Start Automation function before moving the progress bar rather than moving the progress bar first.

Hi Arlo,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I have tried your suggestion and it works fine - as long as I start the automation by tapping the "automation" button in my layout.

Unfortunately I have to start the automation via midi as I have to synchronise 4 tablets and our backing track software.

As long as I don't touch the position slider, I can start the automation via midi, but as soon as I change the start position of the slider, the automation handler ignores the midi start command.

Is this a bug or is it implemented this way on purpose?

Kind regards
