BLE midi problem
Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2017 7:07 pm
Great synth, been having lots of fun with it on my Figo Virtue III phone - android 6.0.
Unfortunately the phone doesn't have OTG midi so tried connecting via bluetooth midi from my Roland A-01 K-25m keyboard which is found and paired just fine by the phone, but the midi device isn't showing up as a connected midi device in the VA Beast midi settings.
Unfortunately I don't have any other synth or DAW apps that recognize BLE midi so to troubleshoot and to see if midi was coming in and out from the phone, I downloaded the BleMidiSample app from the Play store and it recognizes the Roland A-01 as a midi device I can see midi clock, notes and CCs coming into BleMidiSample and can also send notes out from BleMidiSample which plays the internal synth in the A-01. That seems to indicate that the A-01 and its BLE midi is working fine with the phone, but sadly no midi device is showing up in VA-Beast.
Maybe I'm missing something in order to get VA Beast to recognize the Roland A-01 as a Ble midi device?
Hope there's a solution to this as I'm new to the Droid world and am not sure how to root the phone in order add OTG support so was hoping the bluetooth midi would work as an alternative. Let me know if there's anything else I can add to help you troubleshoot why it isn't showing up in VA-Beast.
Thanks for the update today and for making a great synth.
