Does ToneStack support BT midi?
@gburks
Yes, it does. I was able to use the iRig Blueboard to control some of the parameters and change between presets. I did have to use the IK Blueboard app though.
I assumed it did, but upon checking there are no BT MIDI settings available within the app or general settings. Most other apps that support BT Midi have settings for enabling it I think, so unsure at this moment in time if TS does actually support it.
Yeah I use it today along with the app. I was hoping the firmware update meant u could use it without the IK app.
Then the app needs to support BT in the MIDI settings. Can anybody check with something like gadget or midiflow if it shows up there?
I've posted the question on the Tonestack forum.
I thought I would share my firmware upgrade experience in case it might help anybody.
I attempted to upgrade my firmware using the Windows program. It failed during the process, rendering my Blueboard unusable. It was stuck in the mode of flashing the "D" button with no Bluetooth connection.
What seemed to work was running the updater in Administrator mode. The Blueboard then mounted as an external drive, allowing me to delete the corrupt driver file. I think ran the updater again. The process showed an error warning saying I needed to unplug and replug in the USB chord to the Blueboard. I think what ultimately worked was ignoring this request, which allowed the update to complete successfully.
At that point, however, I could not connect to the Blueboard app or any other app.
Apparently, connecting to the Blueboard app will require an update under review by Apple
However, even after the firmware update Garageband, for example, could not see the Blueboard. To fix this, I needed to turn off the Blueboard and turn on holding the "B" key. That seemed to fix the third-party app issue, so now I just need to wait for the Blueboard app to update.
Here are instructions form IK tech support, which was ultimately helpful in fixing this problem.
Turn OFF your iRig BlueBoard
Turn this back ON while holing the B or C pads
Open GarageBand
Inside here go to the SONG SETTINGS menu (Upper right hand corner. Indicated by a WRENCH symbol.)
Go to the Bluetooth MIDI device section
Tap the name of the device you wish to connect
To stop using this device, tap the Connect switch to OFF
Blueboard app update arrived. Is it working for everybody now?
Yes, everything is back to normal, here.
I've used It successfully after the update
and the blueboard app works fine now.
By the way, which apps support midi over Bluetooth ?
I'd love to test that new function promised by the firmware.
I'd try midiflow first. If it works with that you can route it anywhere you want from there.
aaah, WTF IK! sorry but this sucks again:
After the Login you have support to download the new updater...if it would be there:
"Firmware updater for iRig BlueBoard:
The downlaod is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Contact the IK Multimedia support service in case you need assistance. "
could someone send a link to the actuall updater......please.....
i contact the support over the annoying Register/Login/to have support way too @ikmultimedia
i know now for sure! that was the last product from ik....its just annoying....
I got mine updated successfully thanks to these institutions. It works as it should here. Using the windows machine was pretty frustrating, though. For the second time it automatically installed a shitload of windows updates only to find they weren't appropriate and then uninstalling all the updates with several restarts... Updates are deactivated now.
The updater is back for download: http://download.ikmultimedia.com/data/firmware/iRig_BlueBoard_Firmware_Updater_1.0.1.zip?513c3ad78c9fbadfb0830893ecdf10e9053fe011cead851654d33e31937ac6247414daf61973d521bb64b2
did ik offer it temporarily?
Thank you so much for this part of your post. It brought my blueboard back from the dead. It was completely bricked, but now it lives and works. You my friend help me keep what little sanity I have left.
IK should hire you...
With the v3.0 update Tonestack now supports Bluetooth MIDI, so you can now use blueboard without needing the companion app, as long as your blueboard is on the latest firmware.
In order to do this you need to hold down the C button when powering on your blueboard, this puts it into BT MIDI CC mode.
To go back to the normal proprietary mode hold down A while powering on.
It works, but I can't figure out how to get the lights working this way. And strangely, I can't get it working with the blueboard app for anything other than changing presets.
It works fine for me and I never did anything special....I guess just make sure you are on the latest firmware for the Blueboard.
Since the
IOS 11 I can't more pair my Blueboard in Bluetooth LE mode. It connects but disconnects then. Just can't use in normal mode with the IK application . Somente more experiencing this problem?
