What's the best way to import longer midi clips into my iPad? (For Korg Gadget)
Hey up AB forum! 
I decided to import some tracks from Live into gadget but as you probably know it creates a scene for each bar and some clips are 256 bars long so short of creating 1 bar loops for all the clips what's the best option?
There are clips of all different lengths but the longest i'd record into Gadget would probably be 16-32 bars, not sure yet.
I read you can recording via Auria Pro but i don't have that version so wondering which other apps would allow me to tranfer the midi into Gadget?
Thanks!

It would probably be helpful if you could let us know what MIDI tools you have in your app arsenal, as well as sharing, connecting with other apps, etc.
Good point! I have:
audiobus
link2midi
studiomux
Firo
midiflow
midimittr
Mayb some others but no specific midi file players or DAW apps.
I saw Genome which looks like it could? Also think i could potentially record from Live into Gadget via iConnectmidi but i thought it'd be good to have a an where i can store midi files to use in iOS apps.
The feature is fairly new, and I haven't really explored it. Music App Blog had this coverage:

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to break up your tracks into riffs/loops in Ableton before exporting?
Not sure if you've gone away to try stuff, but it's not clear if you're interested in doing any "on the fly" recordings.
Yeah i saw that, couldn't find much on workarounds googling around.
I could but there's about 30 tracks would take too long, a lot are 8 bar phrases and drum loops with little fills at various sections, would take ages to recreate.
I'm just exporting midi for parts for a remix so thought i'd try the korg import at the same time.
Cheers!
Couldn't you just play your track on a loop in Ableton and feed it into Gadget via Ableton Link, then record your parts as they come around?
Whatever gets the midi in fastest.
I tried but doesn't seem to work, no midi data is being recorded. Ideally if there's an app i can import midi parts as is into and then edit or record into gadget that would be ideal otherwise it will be a case of doing 1 bar loops but defeats the objective.
Cheers!
You need an app to pass the MIDI data from Ableton to Gadget. I don't know if all of these Link enabled apps will work, but these would be my picks:
ThumbJam
DrumJam
AUM
Navichord
StepPolyArp
modstep
SoundPrism Link Edition
Fugue Machine
Loopy
I'm thinking there's a way you can send MIDI data directly into Gadget via Wi-Fi. From the Ableton Link FAQ:
"Live can still send normal MIDI information out to external devices while being part of a Link session. However, when Link is enabled, Live cannot receive MIDI Sync input from any external MIDI source"
EDIT: Dunno if you have PC or Mac, but your USB cable might work in some instances.
EDIT II: This might help if you're PC: http://nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html

Sweet midi player seems > @telecharge said:
Thanks. @hacked_to_pieces link (cheers) looks like genome can be used to record the midi into gadget. I wanted to be sure whatever app worked could also sync to gadget as you guys know not all apps sync. On that i couldn't get Live and Gadget to sync up so not sure how it would go even with virtual midi.
If i can load the full midi tracks into an app and then record sections into Gadget i'm set.
I bought modstep, love it. Gadgets still not playing nice but i can get all the midi into my iPad this way which is awesome, figure out the rest later. Cheers!
you could import the tracks to audioshare, and open in Cubasis/aruia. then could play the gadgets from either daw with midi out...
I think the best 'method' would be to let Korg know we need better midi-import options.
At least let us 'chop' the midi-file into something more than just 1 bar/scene or better yet, add a 'time-line mode' in addition to the 'scene mode'. Time-Line mode is essential if Korg intends to add the Audio-Tracks they promised long time ago...
If you create empty scenes in Gadget first and then set them to 16 bars long, does it not import into 16 bar chunks instead of 1 bar chunks ?
Not perfect, but better than 1 bar scenes.
For me it creates a new 'project' when I import a midi-file.
(Meaning not way to import midi into an existing project).
Oh, damn...that sucks.....recording the MIDI in may be the only way to go then. I must be confusing Gadget and ModStep.
FWIW Modstep default behaviour is to import MIDI into 16 bar chunks, which isn't perfect either, but it does let you set up the scenes first if you know the number of bars in each and then import into those scenes.
I did that but opened in modstep then loaded Gadget. I just want to get midi into iPad and be able to sequence it and with modstep i can drive whatever i want with it, much more flexible.
There is that as well, that's why i was posting. Every midi clip i import creates a new project, why korg did this i have no idea but modstep is a nice solution, kinda like having live on the iPad. When i saw it had templates had to grab it but it's nice and easy to work with.
Oh cool tip on the scenes, did wonder anbout that. I just set the number of bars i wanted. I found the chunk useful for modifying the existing midi parts. Cheers!
