A live-session proposal

Hi @smespresati ,

Thanks for the MobileSheets tip!

I have been looking for something like this so today I installed it.

It is a nice app with lots of possibilities.

What app would that be? I can’t get MIDI to work either.

Kind regards,
Hans.

Hi @HansR the app that I use is Midihub route & edit. I guess there will be other.

Hi @smespresati,

The app works great! It turns out I don’t need the MidiHub after all. Even on a 10 year old Galaxy Tab A with Android 7 the USB MIDI works ok. Thanks again for the tip!

@HansR , I’m wondering how It works in your device without any midi routing app. Is It shown (in midi settings) the zynthian midi port to send midi messages? Did you do something special to make It to work? I would also like to avoid the need of midi routing app.

Regards.

Yes,

and yes,

For me the solution was to select Midi library Google (and not Default).

If I select Default it does not work, not even with the Midi Hub (I got a refund for that).

Hello there,

A quick update on my little live-session project on Zynthian.

The goal is still to provide a web app (for an iPad) that allows you to call a snapshot/subsnapshot and to display information about the track.

On top you have “Gigs”, that gives you access to “Tracks”, and each track has a “Sheet”.

At Gig level, you can define “input_devices”, associated with MIDI channels and key numbers. With this information, the server can display an image of your split on up to 2 devices, with the names of the chains below. It only shows unmuted chains in a MIDI channel associated with an input device. It also manages layers, as long as the split is exactly the same.

This information is extracted directly from the ZSS. The gigs organization, tracks and leadsheet are in separate JSON files.

Each track can display relevant information for the track. For now, I can display the leadsheet, keyboard split and track structure.

It also can transpose on the fly if needed.
