Can I used BT-2 or BT-4 to control patch up/patch down on MainStage (macos)?
-
Hi there,
I Use MainStage as a performing keyboard player, and I have a foot switch connected to my keyboard controller sending MIDI CC14, which is then mapped in MainStage to 'next patch'.
I'm looking for a bluetooth alternative and BT-2 looks really interesting - but I'm a bit confused. The product page calls it a 'Bluetooth MIDI controller' but then the FAQ at the bottom of the page mentions that only iOS is currently supported. Does that mean that if I try to pair one with a Mac and use the 'MIDI Studio' under macOS's 'Audio/MIDI setup', I won't be able to receive MIDI messages from the device?
Thanks

@shai-yallin Not sure about the BT* pedals but I know for a fact IK's blueboard works with a Mac using MIDI over bluetooth. It requires you to run their application in the background on the Mac to establish the MIDI over BT connection but it also requires an app on the mobile devices too.

Currently, BT2/4 only works with iPad , iPhone and iPod Touch.

Any updates there?

I think you can use d it, but for that, you need to know some process, which you can found Router Technical Support team.

@joe-kuo Hello. I bought BIAS FX Pro not long ago and I use it on my macOS. App is quite nice but face to a problem that I would like to switch between presets quite quickly. After googling I found this nice device but as I understand it doesn't support macOS. Are you going to upgrade BIAS FX Pro application for macOS (or PC) to support Positive Grid BT4 Bluetooth MIDI Pedalboard? I'm really interested in buying this device but currently it will not be useful for me at all.

@korkenknopfus Cool!!! Thanks for suggestion! Do you use this controller?

No, I still haven’t one of them, but it is almost sure that I will search for the Melo Audio MIDI Commander. This device looks very well. An alternative is the Mastermind LT, that user tafkad says he has one in his set up.

I have the meloaudio commander. I can’t get it to work on Biasfx mobile. Can you give me your setup? I am currently using an iPad Air with apogee jam. I bought the camera adapter and it works with JamUp Pro.... am I missing something?

you have to load the biasfx firmware by pressing button 3 and turn on the device.
