Hi all,
I am a recent (yesterday) convert to MobileSheets on Android, having used unrealBook successfully on iPad for about a decade. But I’ve had it with iPads.
Now I am trying to transfer about 100 songs and their MIDI control parameters into MobileSheets. I’ve got the songs in, but I have hit a brick wall with the MIDI.
The hardware is:
Galaxy Tab 7+ tablet => USB cable => Line6 Helix (guitar, MIDI channel 4) => MIDI cable => PA echo unit (vocals, MIDI channel 1) (Both MIDI channels count from 0, i.e. Helix thinks it is channel 5).
I have set MobileSheets to control multiple MIDI channels but I am not sure on how to proceed. It seems that each program has its own nomenclature.
The Helix midi guide says to send a message like
CC32: 004 (Change setlist, Setlist = 5 (counting from 0))
PC: 011 (Change preset, preset = 11 (presets are listed from 0)
CC69: 000 (Change snapshot, snapshot = 0 (snapshots are listed from 0)
So, three questions:
1. How do I use the MIDI edit page to enter such a message?
2. Is there a way to directly enter the hexadecimal codes that I already have for each song?
e.g. this song has a sequence:
B1 00 01 (To change the bank on my Behringer Virtualizer Pro)
C1 1F (To change the preset on the Behringer)
B4 20 04 (Change setlist on Helix, Setlist = 5)
C4 0B (Change preset on Helix, preset = 11 (= 0B in Hex)
It would be great if I could just cut and paste using the companion app
3. Can I put a separate MIDI string on each page of a song? Several songs have different feels in different sections and previously I have arranged them so that a page turn will change the guitar and vocal effects sounds. That way I only have to push the page turn pedal to accomplish all three changes.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers
Simon
