MidiWrist 1.0.3 update with Mackie Control support
I just released a nice little update for MidiWrist (http://uwyn.com/midiwrist)
With Mackie Control as a transport option it's now possible to control even more DAWs, and even easily gain access to features like Save, Undo, toggle Cycle and toggle Click.

Just some feedback, this really works great so far, totally usable, not clunky, especially w use of the watch crown wheel, very precise.
Only weird thing, which is no issue for me, is that I have to use Midiflow to connect to iPad, it shows up without, connects, but does nothing unless I run MidiWrist on iphone through Midiflow, to iPad Midiflow, then to desired routing from there. Doesn't cause latency, and all routings get saved, so no real issue there.
Thinking about making a split screen video of me on toilet controlling a matrixbrute across the house lol.
Only thing I can think of adding would be a simple scale based sequencer, maybe 8-16 steps, change individual notes w wheel? Maybe too ridiculous, but it would make this app really able to fully control a synth, cuz thats all that missing is notes. Obviously the transport controls work w any sequencer, but to have its own even if basic would be awesome.
Thanks! Yes the Watch can't send out midi directly, it has to go through the iPhone ... which has then all the CoreMIDI support. You can set up the iPhone MidiWrist as Bluetooth peripheral and directly connect any iPad MIDI app with Bluetooth MIDI support, so you don't necessarily need Midiflow in between if you don't need the other capabilities.
Hmm, thats what I tried originally, and it does show up and connect in all apps on iPad without Midiflow, but for some reason it wasn't sending ccs, until I routed it the way I was saying. I dont think I've tried it as of newest update, so I'll try again without Midiflow.
Thanks again, I was sitting there wondering if anyone was going to make a usable app like this for the watch, googled a little, and just so happened you were just releasing beta lol.
You might want to double check that after creating the Bluetooth MIDI connection, you also select the newly available MIDI ports as inputs and outputs in both MidiWrist and the iPad app you're controlling. I sometimes forget that and then the MIDI ports are actually not being used, the devices merely know of each other's existence.
Could I send you a video? Just tried again, still same, not that I mind, but maybe you wanna take a look.
Just tried it myself too, before posting that previous messsage to make sure it worked.
Which app are you using on the iPad?
Animoog, on a 3rd gen pro. Watch is 4th gen, phone is xs max. But in video, shows connected in animoog and watch is selected as input on omni. Weird cuz it shows same through midiflow, but is sending and animoog then receives cc.
Even if I just connect MidiWrist to ipads Midiflow, it shows connected, proper channel, but no cc being received. Then I open Midiflow on phone and connect and it immediately works.
Here’s what I set up with Model 15 on the iPad. Don’t have another video recording device handy to capture the iPhone with at this time.
Worked right away in Animoog too, same device config for me.
Can you double check that Bluetooth midi input is selected in the Animoog MIDI input ports?
Ahh youre the man, I was connecting through the peripheral settings and assuming it would work because it was connected and proper channel, and showed connected on both ends. I didn't notice the "midi destinations" that comes up after I set up the "bluetooth midi" section. I guess it was working because Midiflow didnt require being selected in midi destinations channel, weird, so I thought the prob was somewhere else.
Thanks again, that was a simple thing, I was thinking way too hard apparently lol.
That's actually awesome that it wont send midi if each app/hardware isn't selected, I've had random snags in workflow w apps receiving midi that they shouldn't be (dif channel/not selected but still receiving notes/cc) so I wish all apps had this type of device/app locking.
Awesome, glad you got it working!
Well, really you got it working, I was trying to read between the lines rather than the words right in front of me lol.
How hard would it be to add something that records cc automation like Ribn? If Ribn wasn't midi out only, watch could be used as cc input and automation would be recorded, but not so lucky...
It would just be super helpful while recording, live mixing, adding post fx etc since watch mostly requires 2 hands, though I can kind of play a keyboard w one hand and modulate crown at same time.
And since Ribn is so so simple, it would be a perfect model to use to record knob turns the same way, even if automation isn't saved after (like Ribn). You would just be able to do a lot more at once I guess.
Shouldn’t be too much work, I’ll keep it in mind for a future update. The next release it gonna focus on Siri support though, so that will be getting my attention first.
Ahh, that should be interesting, I'd consider turning siri on for that lol.
Here’s a demo of the prototype with Siri, in this case using the iPhone but the same thing works with the Watch.
That'll be cool, I've never really thought of using voice commands for transport.
@DEADCIRCUITGOD Please considering leaving a review in the App Store if you have a moment, that would really be helpful. Thanks!
Haha I actually was still on beta, just purchased and left a review, sometimes I need a reminder, unfortunately when something works great, we all forget to leave feedback heh.
Thanks so much!
