Thanks, Mike, for your consideration. I can absolutely see the point of prioritizing things that are requested by more users and appreciate it.
I simply wanted to plant a little seed in your heads how to make this app even more powerful than it already is. Keeping in mind that MobileSheets has all the basic MIDI functionalities already implemented, I see great potential in the musicians market to have a single app to control everything on the "backstage" for an entire gig with just some midi commands. To the best of my knowledge, there is no app on the market yet which is able to fill this gap. MobileSheets, however, has the greatest potential to do so. And speaking for myself, I would defintely pay for it (in addition to the basic MSP functionalities).
If I could prioritize my suggestions, I would definitely consider "send midi commands after X clicks" to bring the greatest benefit. Imagine you play two synths and right within the song, you need another sound on one of those. Or if you are a guitarist using a multi-fx board who needs to switch between clean and distorted sound within one song. MobileSheets can do it for you, so you can fully concentrate on you stage performance. The second highest priority, I would assign to more MS events for MIDI send/receive.
Concerning the click to MIDI clock... I don't know if you really need to send MIDI signals continously. As you already mentione, this will most likely strain resources. From what I know about tap delays etc. is that you need a sequence of at least two 'inputs' (e.g. taps on the delay button or MIDI signals), so the processor calculates the delay speed based on the distance between these two. Hence, if you load a song in MS, I guess you can simply send two MIDI signals with a certain delay based on the song's tempo setting in between and the MIDI receiver will understand it. I'm not quite sure if this will do it, though. But using a MIDI pedal for controlling for example a guitar rack effect, tapping on a button twice also does the job of setting the correct delay time. For me, however, MIDI clock would be the least important thing to implement
Cheers!
