Bluetooth MIDI from iPad?
Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2018 11:55 am
Has anyone managed to get MIDI over Bluetooth working? Particularly from/to an iPad or Mac? I'm wondering about the possibility of using a keyboard-playing app on my iPad as a MIDI input for Finale.
On my Mac, Audio MIDI Setup shows my iPad as a source for MIDI input, and I can connect to it. It is then listed in drop-down lists for MIDI input devices, such as in Finale's MIDI Setup dialog. However, I can't get any app to 'send' any MIDI data. I can play the keyboard in Garageband, but nothing comes over. I have another keyboard app called Virtuoso, which has settings to turn on Bluetooth MIDI, but again nothing is sent.
