midi commands from ableton to ios app over bluetooth
Hi there!
I already contacted developers of Echo Pad, but may be someone there can help me and figure out with my issue.
I use NI Rig Kontrol audio/midi surface with ableton live, both of audio channels are busy by synths (Volca beats and MicroKorg) and synced over midi cable.
So NI Rig Kontrol is very suitable for guitar playing and looping, but I use it to control synths by midi (very powerfull combination)
So I am playing guitar thru amp. And route it over Echo pad app. So no audio signal from ios going to audio card. But I synced Echo Pad with ableton via MIDI bluetooth connecton. So now if Iam starting Live and change bpm in DAW, ios app reacted and change bpm accordingly.
For now question is - can I assign hardware midi controller (Rig Kontrol) to send midi message to ios app to control looper strat/stop function? According to video - Yosemite MIDI Over Bluetooth with Ableton Live - should be possible.
And I found list with CC # in EchoPad help.
But how to setup all setting in ableton?
It will be so great if Live will send message to app to strat/stop looper.
Kind difficult to describe, but I need your help.
Instead of buying 4 chanalls soundcard I can record loop on the fly with echo pad looper and they will be synced in time with ableton. I confident that it`s possible, but how?
Any ideas?

I don’t have any of the equipment you are describing, but I have set up a similar thing with Ableton using Bluetooth Midi and my Novation Circuit.
In Ableton go to settings and make sure that your Midi routing is set up. Confirm that you can send and receive midi from both your Rig Control and iPad via Bluetooth.
Then in Live create a midi channel that has the Midi in channel coming from your Rig Control and your midi out going to your iPad. Set the midi channels that you want to use, and that should do it.
Let me know if that doesn’t work and I can try a screen capture.
Sorry if I misunderstood what you are trying to do.
I just tested it, and it seems to work OK.
For transport control I set it up as follows...
Novation Circuit is connected to Ableton Live by USB Midi.
In Live settings I have Midi Ports Input: Circuit Sync On
Have then connect my ipad via Bluetooth USB to my Computer abd then set it up in Live as well.
Settings are Output : iPad_Name (Bluetooth) Sync On
Then open an iPad app that has midi clock receive. I used Patterning in my test.
Set the clock receive to the Bluetooth port.
Then in Ableton click the EXT button in the top left (beside the BPM controls). Live is waiting for a signal to start transport.
When I hit play on the Novation Circuit (Rig Kontrol in your case) it should start playing and launch Live. When Live starts playing it will send a signal over bluetooth midi to your iPad, which should start your app.
All this is predicated on the hardware and software being able to send and receive sync.
