I just downloaded MidiBridge with the idea to use its Program Changer as my MIDI PC central control.
As I will use this in a live situation MidiBridge must be running in background as I want to use the sequencer as my front app without the necessity to swich between apps from song to song.
I will control hardware synths (Roland/Kord/etc) and effect units (Alesis/TC Electronics/etc) and in the future will include maybe one iPad synth app.
MidiBridge listen to CH16 and Program Changer is sending PC to all equipments in my setup. All equipments listen to different MIDI channels so that CH16 is reserved to MidiBridge scenes control.
I want to load each song sequence and fire the sequencer. The first bar will send the note number to change the "master" MidiBridge scene (a song scene to set my complete setup). If during the execution of some song I need to change an effect preset during the chorus section I could issue a different note number and change the associated MidiBridge scene to change only the effect preset.
The MidiBridge scenes works perfectly off line but I did not find a way to send Note Numbers from iPad sequencers to the MidiBridge Stream Byter so that I can load different MidiBridge Scenes.
On the Stream Byter I tried the following code (with MidiBridge set to listen to ch16):
Example to use C4 (48 HEX) to load MidiBridge scene 002 (02 HEX):
So far I did tested with Beatmaker 2, Music Studio and Cubasis with no success.
Genome is not an option for me at the moment because it can not import and handle properly .MID files with patterns and separated tracks.
I would like to go with a solution for Beatmaker which is my sequencer o choice but I can work with no problems with Music Studio or Cubasis.
Maybe someone can post a small tutorial on this.
Thanks!
