Hi,
A little background:
Trying to use an iPad to provide some of the core functionality of my laptop-based setup when the laptop/attached audio/MIDI interface is not practical for certain gigs.
Existing Functionality: MIDI Guitar Controller, transmitting in MONO mode, Ch 1-6 on strings 1-6.
I use strings 5 & 6 (A & low E) as 'bass strings', selectable using a momentary footswitch which generates a MIDI cc.
Any synths I want to use for bass sounds are listening on Ch5
My current (laptop)software, depending on the state of the switch/cc, either:
passes Ch5 and blocks Ch6 (for A-string bass),
or
blocks Ch5, then rechannelizes Ch6 to Ch5(for E-string bass)
I know I could accomplish this in MIDIBridge with Scenes and Streambyter, etc., but switching global scenes is probably not gonna work, because:
A.) There will be a LOT of other MIDI stuff (i.e.arpeggiators, MIDI CC LFO, sequencers, etc) passing through MIDI Bridge all the time.
B.) That footswitch is pretty 'busy' during a typical song.
I'm guessing changing scenes would be too disruptive to all of the clocked MIDI data, sustained notes, etc, passing through MIDI Bridge at the moment of a scene change.
Any thoughts? I'm thinking increased granularity of module control via MIDI and/or being able to switch Streambyter rulesets for a specific module on the fly via MIDI (maybe a MIDI learn function for these things...) might be something worthwhile if you're willing to add it.
Thanks again for the closest thing in IOS to MIDI-Ox. Great job.
