@guitarkite said in Bias FX for iPad auto engage wah pedal:
@esofron Sorry for the delay in answering...
So, if you have an ipad, iphone, or new ipod with an interface that has a MIDI out on it...
Load up the app called MidiFire by Audionic as well as the IK Multimedia Blue Board app.
Go to the Audionic website and look up the script that's specific to "MIDI Auto-Engage on Bias FX". It takes a little looking, but you should be able to find it... Copy it.
Make sure you have the Blue Board app on and running...
Go into MidiFire... Add Blue Board as your MIDI input. Add a module called Stream Byter... And finally, add your interface's MIDI out. Connect all 3 together in a chain... Blue Board > Stream Byter > MIDI out.
In Stream Byter, add the copied script, then tap "Run Script". (Be aware that you may have to change the script to match what cc#'s you will be using.) (Also, be aware that Stream Byter uses hexadecimal raw MIDI to denote MIDI channel, and cc#'s... You can use the MIDI monitor in MidiFire to find the equivalent hexadecimal value of your specific MIDI channel and cc#.)
Run the MIDI out of your iOS devices interface into the MIDI in of your computer's interface.
In Bias FX on your computer, set the appropriate MIDI cc# for both the wah control as well as the on/off toggle for the wah. On mine, I use cc#1 for the wah control and cc#10 for the toggle.
If you're unfamiliar with where to do these... The toggle control is in the master MIDI menu (Add the Crybaby Wah as a permanently set toggle.) ... While the wah control is accessed by pressing on the virtual wah pedal on the screen.
If you wish to use this Auto-Engage script on the iOS version of Bias FX, simply add Bias FX in MidiFire, and route the Stream Byter's output to it instead of the MIDI out.
Hope this helps.
Hi Again, i tried this one to enable wah via ipad without success. My connected devices chain is the following
meloaudio(pedal)-ipad
meloaudio midi-out -> steinberg mk2 midi-in
Steinberg usb -> Computer usb
if i setup midi source and midi out the same device meloaudio, this device freezes.
of course i am not able to see the midi imput from the steinberg, because it is connected to the computer.
Can you explain more the device connection chain?
thanks.
