2/28/2024 0 Comments Midipipe for mac![]() The Blueboard has 3 ( Three, yes ) different MIDI modes. The problem is that IK Multimedias instructions and information on how to use their products is worst than lousy. I see a lot of complaints that the Blueboard cannot be switched to momentary MIDI commands, but very few seem to be aware that this indeed can be done. Of course I have described the process for manipulating CC messages and within MidiPipe you can also do the same thing for PC messages if the BB is configured to send these. I leave this as is which means that the output is set to MidiPipe Output 1 and this is what I use in the receiving software to control presets up and down etc. The final step is to set the MidiOut tool. This has the effect of always issuing a 127 when MidiPipe receives a CC msg matching the Control Change button setting. Finally check the value checkbox and set the value to 127. I use 16,17,18 and 19 but you can set them to whatever you want in the BB software. Next set the Control Change # to whatever value you have set the BB button to. Within this tool set the first parameter to Control Change. To make this change you need to use the Set tool in MidiPipe. The "on" msg is usually the one that will change presets in whatever receiving software you're using. In normal mode the BB toggles between "on" and "off" control change messages which are represented by the numbers 127 and 0 respectively. Next, for each button you need to capture the msg sent and convert the "off" msg to an "on" msg. I don't think you need to hijack the midi unless you want to prevent it from being seen elsewhere in other software but I'm not sure about that - you'll need to experiment. ![]() If the BB is up and running it should appear in the drop down list. I definitely would have bought two units had it been possible - for controlling 8 loops instead of 4įirst you need to capture the midi from the BlueBoard (BB) using the Midi In tool. I also reckon y'all have missed a trick by only making one unit available at any one time under Bluetooth. For one example, how about adding midi transport controls for remotely foot controlling record punch in and outs in the studio? Incredibly useful for solo recording. I reckon you'd sell them by the palletload (like the ubiquitous Korg Nano Kontrol) if the software was developed into something properly customisable so that it could be used to control any midi application. But the unit has *so* much more potential. It's fine for it's original intention - patch changing in Amplitube. (hmmm no latch/momentary switch under cc?) I've managed to Kludge together a working setup using Midistroke to convert the programme changes to keypresses. I bought mine for live looping with Ableton. The Blueboard ticks all those boxes for me. We require our gear to be lightweight, compact, reliable, sturdy and easy to set up. ![]() Like many modern musicians/dj's my shows are usually a flight away. VB-Cable C+D should be released in July 2020.Superb form factor. The VB-Cable virtual audio device is available for free to test and simple donation-ware while the VB-Cable A+B package is distributed as $5-$25 donation-ware. Many people asked for this Mac version since years but it was not so easy to develop since we wanted to make it as a first step for the Voicemeeter porting process, that we would like to realize before end of year 2020. We are proud to finally propose this product for Mac as well, while VB-Cable is already very used on PC as simple virtual audio device. This makes it easy to create audio routes between any audio apps, even passing through a DAW to process the sound, or VOIP applications for recording, or any inter-connection between any audio tools. All audio sent to its input is forwarded to its output. VB-Audio Software has released VB-Cable for the Mac, a simple virtual audio device presenting a single input and a single output to macOS.
