It needs some kind of bridge in the middle. There's the rub when you want a -BT01 to -BT01 connection.
Midi in and out cable android#
Yamaha assume that you will always be using a Central like an iOS tablet or Android tablet. Yamaha's UD- and MD-BT01 are always peripherals. Centrals scan for peripherals who are advertising. Peripherals advertise their availability. A thing is either a Central or a Peripheral.
Midi in and out cable Bluetooth#
One issue is the way Bluetooth sets up connections. It is reasonably configurable and has a MIDI mode that sends actual MIDI over Bluetooth natively. (For now.)įor grins, I took advantage of a holiday sale to buy an AirTurn BT-400S.
Thus, I'm playing with solutions that get iOS out of the way. I'm just starting to experiment and am, unfortunately, working around an old iPad (gen 4) stuck at iOS 10.3. Still luv to know about the USB hub, I’d be happier using the iPad rather than the laptop. Virtually have 3 pedals now, the sustain on the p121, the other two on the sx. The buttons on the sx are within reach, but I’ve been setting up the registrations in a list, so all I need to do is press the pedal and it changes them. I have mine in an L shape setup, I don’t like stacking keyboards on top of the other. I can now use the p121 as a controller of sorts for the sx. Pressed the record icon ( nothing is actually recording) basically set and forget. I used xg works as interface software, set up the midi in / midi out for the 2 keyboards. No latency as far as I can tell, if some, certainly less than my iPad setup above using Bluetooth.īasically I just connected the sx900 via the printer cable to the laptop, did the same with the p121. Since my setup is for home use only and I found a convenient spot for my laptop ( which I rarely use anymore except for a bit of style editing and biab software, I decided to try it as an interface
Midi in and out cable software#
* midi routing software for iOS (Midiflow) Bluetooth device connected to my SX900 via printer cable * A lightning to USB adapter (aka camera connection kit) is iPad Connected to p121 via printer cable I had mine connected the following way, but there was a very vague feeling of latency, maybe how was I wasīluetooth wasn’t correct, but it did actually work except for that really vague hint of latency. I already happen to own all the other items you mentioned. (Or will they add midi class compliant usb host capabilities to Genos with firmware 1.4?) So any smart phone can act as a USB host nowadays to connect any class compliant midi controller to the Genos.Īnd when an iPad is used with the Smart Pianist App, this iPad can be used to route the midi messages to the Genos as well.
* Connect the Genos with a USB cable or USB-to-Midi interface cable * Connect the Piano with a simple USB printer cable * Take a lightning to USB adapter (camera connection kit) * Take an iPhone with any midi routing app (like Audiobus 3) :-|Īs an alternative, I will try another solution So it is no nice solution as compared to a simple midi cable.
* Mode Machines Cerebel USB V2 (59€) (only MIDI out)īut all these solutions (found in the Yamaha forum) need external power supply over micro usb plug. * Miditech USB MIDI Host (79€) (Midi In + Out) * Kenton Midi USB Host (the well known) for 124 € So as I read (thanks to Chris), there are small and affordable solutions for USB-Host-Midi solutions.
