MIDI

SongbookPro supports connecting to bluetooth MIDI devices for both sending and receiving MIDI messages.

Connecting devices

To connect to pedals, enable the MIDI feature on the ‘Foot Pedals’ settings page. Pick your device or press the refresh arrow to scan for new devices. The device you are connecting must not already be connected to your phones Bluetooth.

MIDI pedals

MIDI based foot pedals can be used with the foot pedal system for navigating the app. To configure foot pedal actions on MIDI foot pedals, connect the MIDI device as described above and then follow the same process as Keyboard-event Based Foot Pedals.

Sending MIDI commands

Individual songs can have MIDI events assigned to them, which will be sent to connected MIDI devices when the song is opened. To set a midi event to a song, press the ‘MIDI Events’ button in the song’s Advanced Edit tab. Then pick the event you wish to send. For this option to show up, you first need to enable the MIDI feature from the ‘Foot Pedals’ page as described above. Currently, only one MIDI event can be configured for each song.

A popup titled 'MIDI Events, Fired on song load'. It has the settings 'Control Change', 'Channel 1' 'Control: 0. Bank Select', 'Value: 0'. At the bottom are the buttons 'Test', 'Cancel', 'Ok'.
