You can do that. Pick a midi message to send to LP for each project, then make a global control profile with load project actions for each one, mapped to those midi messages (on the virtual midi device)
I got it to work!! But it is inconsistent... Any ideas on settings that need to be changed? TIA
I didn't do a global profile, I did it for a current project... Should I do a different global profile for each song?
Inconsistent in what way, can you provide details of how you set it up and it way it isn’t working?
I believe it needs to be a global profile so the setup isn't lost when you load a new project. If you configure the actions in each project, you'd need to implement loading all the other projects in each project. With a global profile, you just implement the actions there, and they'll always be available. This might be why your setup is "inconsistent".
You need only one global profile. put all the bindings you want accessible in all projects there. So put each binding of midi note or cc that open projects in the same global profile.
You need to put anything you want accessible generally in the global profile.
Local profiles only apply while that one project is open. They are local in the sense they are local to that one project.
OK, awesome info! I will try again tonight!
OK, now it will switch consistently, but only to the song in PC 0, even on the binding setup to load PC 1 it chooses the project in PC 0. Any ideas? !(https://forum.audiob.us/uploads/editor/s6/8k0jbmszjcxs.jpg "")
I appreciate your help!
@mttesta : please post a screenshot of your global profile.
Also, please use a MIDI monitor to check that you are actually receiving the PC messages that aren't working right.
There is some information about using MIDI monitors on: https://wiki.audiob.us/doku.php?id=loopy_pro_troubleshooting&s[]=loopy&s[]=monitor
@mttesta : I just testing sending program changes to Loopy to load projects and that also worked.
Here is the global profile I set up. I mapped come CCs and PCs to load different projects and all worked.
espiegel123 It all works now... thank you again for your help!!! I have one more question that you may or may not be able to answer... Can I use a midi change like "midi: PC13" from an Android tablet to change the project in LP on an ipad? I've tried and the ipad isnt getting the command. Thanks Again!
Any MIDI that the iPad can see Loopy can see.
Use a MIDI monitor to see if the iPad is receiving the MIDI.
Is the Android device sending to Network MIDI (or Bluetooth), and is Loopy Pro set up to receive from Android?
uncledave: The android is sending, it works through a cable to Voicelive3x effects processor, but the ipad doesn't seem to be getting the messages. Loopy pro receives the virtual midi messages from Songbook app on the ipad, but not from the Songbook app on the android device. I have a usb cable setup from the android to the ipad.
So, it is the iPad not receiving the MIDI that is the issue, not Loopy specifically?
Have you found web pages describing how to send midi from Android to iOS?
Have you used a MIDI Monitor app such as midi wrench to see what MIDI the iPad is receiving and from where?
I have the midi monitor on and its not seeing messages from the Android. So I guess it is the Ipad not getting the message, but have been looking and haven't seen anything describing how to send midi from Android to IOS. I have spent a good amount of time searching but haven't seen anything.
Have you found anything about how to send MIDI from android to other devices? Mac or PC? Does it do Bluetooth midi?
I found this page... but not exactly sure what to do with it:
https://source.android.com/docs/core/audio/midi#:~:text=MIDI for Android,-Android supports USB&text=Android directly supports USB, BLE,1.0 through an external adapter.
You might want to create a non-Loopy Pro topic “how do you send midi from android to iOS”. I am sure there ares people here that will know the answer
You will not be able to transmit MIDI from Android to iPad over a USB cable. In this situation, both devices will try to be USB masters, and nothing will get through. USB works with the Voicelive3x processor, because it is a willing USB slave.
I believe your choices are: Network MIDI, which works over WiFi; or Bluetooth MIDI using BLE. Either will need to be enabled on the Android device, and on the iPad.
For BLE, there is the concept of a Central device (host), and a Peripheral device (slave). If you can configure the Android device as a Peripheral, then iPad should be able to find it and connect. The setup on the iPad side will be an option in Loopy Pro's MIDI routing. The setup in Android should be in the MIDI settings of the app you're using.
You can also setup LP to act as a peripheral, and then connect to it from Android. Reckon that’s your best bet
How would one do that Michael?
Hey guys... I gave up on this for a few weeks and I came back to it this morning. Magically, my Android tablet showed up as a midi device in Loopy Pro and I was able add the load project binding! Thanks for all of your help!
