MIDI into Gadget
Any way to control this at all? It seems to be set to Omni mode and doesn't have its own virtual MIDI port so is just continuously listening to everything.
I would like to use the Autoharp in Firo to record a melody into Gadget, but at the moment I just can't find any way to get Gadget to ignore the backing.

I've heard you have to swipe up or down where it says omni and u get the other channels. Not sure tho as I haven't done it.
where is that "omni" setting? Don't see it in Settings, not mentioned in the manual.
The promiscuity with ports and channels is a long standing inexplicable blind spot with Korg Apps (possibly excluding the new iM1 (I hear?). The only solution I've found is to use a second iPad (my old 1) as MIDI manager. If your background is lMIDI playing other synths, they might have to be on a different iPad too. Gadget is a solipsist environment. Nothing else exists for it.
In Gadget, the selected track has a square yellow light in the upper left corner. That's the track that listens to Midi, and that is the extent of Midi note support in Gadget. I really wish they would allow Midi per track...
Firo's Autoharp (on MIDI Output only) into Gadget works fine for me on its own. What backing are you referring to?
Hi Richard. If you set the midi velocity on all the 'backing tracks' to 0 (you do this under the instrument icons in Firo) - everything playing apart from the Autoharp, then Gadget should only hear the Autoharps midi. By setting to 0 that actually turns the midi broadcast off for those tracks.
For the autoharp to work, as far as I understand, you need one of the loops to be playing with the chord automation. When that loop is playing its MIDI notes are sent to Gadget along with the melody I'm playing.
I can trigger the autoharp manually I guess, rather than have it automatically follow the progression, but that's less useful.
Thanks, but I tried that, if I silence one of the channels it seems to silence all of them, going into Gadget at least. Have you got this working? If so I'll try again as that seems like it should work.
Ok, I understand what you mean. Since Firo can't act as a master and send the clock, I've been recording my chord progression to Firo's first looper track, then the melody to the second track. When I'm ready to record it in Gadget, I only play back the melody track.
Same dynamic for Beat Hawk with MIDI.
Great when someone solves this one with an app.
