A comprehensive setup guide is following later. For now here is a short list of how to get started
Connect iOS to your host¶
- Connect your iDevice to your Mac or PC to be able to receive MIDI messages
- On my MAC I’m using MIDI over Bluetooth or MIDI over USB (low latency enough for me right now) with midiLE for Mac and iOS
USB¶
- Start midiLE on your MAC (right click and open for the first time)
- Put it to the App folder
- Start midiLE (midimittr) on your iPhone
Bluetooth¶
- iOS with midimittr
- Click the menu icon
- Advertisement
- Enter a name for your Device
- Advertise MIDI Service
- MacOS
- Open Audio MIDI Setup
- Double Click the Bluetooth Icon
- Wait for your Device name to appear in the list
- hit the connect button when available
- Open midiLE On iOS
- Open the Menu
- Go to Routing and click the sources and the destinations, so that the messages are routed properly
- Now the midiLE icon on your Mac should flash and show you a new connection
Lemur¶
- iOS
- Start Lemur on the iDevice
- Hit the settings button
- Scroll down to MIDI Targets
- Touch Add Target or use the existing one
- The _From_ is left blank
- Touch the _To_ field and select the destination
- For USB it is: _YourPhoneName_ midiLE USB destination
- Add a target for every connection type (USB and Bluetooth) when using them both
- MacOS
- Double click the lemur template
- Lemur opens
- Click the _Play_ button
- A connection window pops up
- if Lemur runs on your phone and is connected to the same Wi-Fi iy will be listed here
- Select it and hit _Connect_ if you wanna upload the template.
- Be cautious here. It will replace whatever you have on your phone and is unsaved
- Or click download first, to download the template from your phone to the Lemur on your MAC
Remote Codec¶
Download the remote codec from https://github.com/schuster-rainer/refigur8tor/releases/
Extract the file and change into the directory. Execute ./macos-setup-reason-remote-code This will copy the files under ./Reason/Remote to ~/Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/Remote/
Reason¶
For Reason you have to go into the preferences (cmd+,)
- Click Control Surfaces
- Click Add
- For Manufacturer select Lemur
- For model choose refigur8tor
- For name put in
- Lemur refigur8tor midiLE USB
- as we are using USB and the Surface driver here (or choose another Name, when using Bluetooth or something else. Just to distinguish your controller setup).
- For MIDI input
- Click MIDI Input and select midiLE USB Source or your bluetooth connection
- Alternatively click _Find_ and hit a knob, multiball or button to generate a midi message. Reason will receive it and select the INPUT based on this
