Hey guys, thanks for checking out the video! If you are interested in using a laptop/computer to do this, I made a video on that here: th-cam.com/video/3ADVKLUcwkk/w-d-xo.html
Got one more question if you happen to know the answer. Would it be possible to both send midi signal from a pedal like a helix and use it traditionally for guitar effects simultaneously? Let’s say, for example, programming the 2 bottom left switches to be a forward and backward switch for the lighting cues.
Forgive me for asking questions you’ve already answered in videos😂 I just watched your vid from a couple weeks ago and I believe it answered everything. I dropped a sub so I can keep learning. Thank you
I use the BT01 with my SPDSX for this same reason, and it works great! There is a knock off version on Amazon (because Amazon seems to be sold out of the Yamaha BT01 a lot). It's called the "Wireless BM-A01"... do NOT get that one. I tried it, and it does not work for what you are trying to do. Go with the Yamaha BT01 for sure. Enjoy!
Scott, you really have a great channel! I haven't gone full apple yet, but it looks like I am not going to get what I need done via Android. Anywhere near this level I mean. Thanks for posting this video!
GREAT VIDEO. QUESTION: If I am sending MIDI simultaneously from iPad or iPhone to a synth (MODX) and also a TC Helicon VoiceLive 3 for program changes (to set both keyboard and VoiceLive for a particular song), will I still be able to send MIDI from my synth to the VoiceLive in order to feed it chord info for harmonies??? Please??? How would I configure? I’d be happy to PAY YOU to give me the answer!!!!
Thanks for the comment. And actually I have been asked by a number of people for help with their MIDI routing, so I do actually offer training/consulting services. You can find out more on my website at scottuhlmusic.com/consulting. I know it's possible because I do that setup for my live show, except I'm sending info from my Macbook running Ableton to my TC Helicon Voicelive to change patches/scenes and also send vocoder/harmony information. My Roland FA06 keyboard sending midi info wirelessly to my computer over bluetooth (with a yamaha dongle) and into ableton and then that passes through to the Voicelive. So I would imagine it's possible to do from an ipad as well. Check out the website and if you are interested, send me a message and we can figure it out. Cheers.
Fantasic information, we already use onsong in our band & are currently building an X32 IEM rig... we are utilising multiple HX stomps in a rack tray to FOH... Onsong Blutetooth to the HX will be incredible!!!
Scott Uhl yeah we went into solitary with nine videos in the editing queue. We're putting them out once a week, which means we have six weeks to work out how to live stream. If you fancy doing all the research and uploading a tutorial, I absolutely won't stop you...
Brilliant Chanel ✅✅ any idea how to Sync my Helix Rack to Studio One v 5. Is it possible when recording with the foot control / looping into daw/ in sync
I personally have never used Studio One, but I’m almost positive it’s going to be very similar as what I went over with this video. If you are trying to control studio one using your helix, you can watch my video on the command center here: th-cam.com/video/sgZeMznMBFA/w-d-xo.html
Or this is a better video on how to use a DAW to control your helix. I used logic in this one but the ideas are the same: th-cam.com/video/3ADVKLUcwkk/w-d-xo.html
I’m not familiar with that system, but you can watch this video on how to connect a computer to midi wirelessly: th-cam.com/video/rdUU09zkXVs/w-d-xo.html And also watch this video on the WIDI Jack which turns any midi into wireless/Bluetooth midi: th-cam.com/video/GZVG2UfwJ4w/w-d-xo.html
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks bro I figured it out last night. "Just power on DTXM12 after connecting to Cubase, Setup studio, Then Done. " Thanks for your reply. God bless you
Hi Scott, I have been watching and liking some of your videos. I am moving to Stage Traxx 3 because I am over Onsong crashing and the bugs. I was using the Onsong timeline and scenes to run my DMX lights. Can u tell me do i need any other hardware between the iPad and the artnet controller I have to run lights via midi. I cant find an informative video explaining this. In other words could I send a midi CC from Stage Traxx to another DMX software.. Photon etc... all within my iPad.x
I haven’t done that on my iPad yet. I’m messing with MultiTracker which is a really nice app but I want to check out Stage Traxx more too. OnSong was SO good… I don’t know what happened to them with the new update :( such a shame
Thank you! That helped me a lot, i love your setup. I have an ipad running ForScore and i want to connect it to my helicon voicelive 3 extreme to switch patches and maybe start backing tracks. Would you recommend going via usb adapter or rather get this yamaha midi bluetooth device?
I love NOT having cables haha, so I’m always wireless. I would actually recommend the WIDI Master which I did a video on here th-cam.com/video/bR1zKrNflCY/w-d-xo.html It’s better than the Yamaha one IMO and has been range for sure.
Probably, but I use midi designer pro, Stage Traxx 3 and midi pad. Midi pad is the cheapest I’ve seen at only $3: th-cam.com/video/lfdxoCdvkzM/w-d-xo.html
This is a great idea! Do you know of a simple way to send Tap Tempo or sync Midi clock to a destination device and what app(s) would be able to do this on IOS?
I had a hard time finding a video about what I was looking for. Which is how to put lyrics and music in MIDI File format on a tablet. If it is possible that there is an application that handles midi files type .kar, to be displayed on the screen of the tablet only the phrases to be sung, synchronized with the music. In my case, on a Yamaha MOXF that I know can be connected to an Apple Ipad type tablet (I don't know which version). If someone can solve my doubts, I would be very grateful, to know what I have to buy .... Thank you!
I don’t know of kar files. But stage Traxx has lyrics and music and you program the autoscroll and it can highlight lyrics too. You have to program it though
@@ScottUhlMusic It’s something to look into. Siri is pretty capable nowadays for automation. I have a location-based Siri command that knows when I’m at church by location and shut off my phone ringer :-)
Hi Scott, I am going to start using Bandhelper App on my iPad I also use a Helix Stomp XL and a Voice Live 3 extreme. I looked at the manual on the Voicelive extreme and couldn't see a way for the Extreme 3 to receive midi signals to change the patch number on the extreme 3 but you seem to be doing it here on this video can you please explain how you are doing that? Thanks P.S. keep up the good work on the videos I reckon you have saved me hundreds of dollars with some of you equipment recommendations.
I can’t keep up with OnSong anymore. They released it as a subscription model but sorta kept a 2020 version, but new people cannot download it? It’s super annoying actually
Hey Scott. Great video, it has quite possibly given me the answer to a problem I’ve been having. I am replacing my Boss ME80 guitar pedal that has died, and was looking at getting an HX stomp, even more so now that seeing in this video I can send midi when playing backing tracks to change my pedal for me. I see that as an answer to my problem of pedal dancing while singing and sometimes pressing the wrong pedal. However I wasn’t quite able to work out how you set up the timeline in OnSong, which I use, to send the midi at certain points during the backing track. Do you possibly have another vid that goes into this a bit more? Cheers, and keep up the great work
I’ve switched the Stage Traxx 3 since this video. I have a 3 part video series on it, and the 3rd video goes over the midi here: How to SEND & RECEIVE MIDI with iPad APP - Stage Traxx 3 - Part 3 th-cam.com/video/R5IIrmJWKJ8/w-d-xo.html
Gooood video bro really good man , I'm a new user of hx stomp and I don't have money to buy an footswitch midi controller :/ but this technique is very useful
Hmmm that would be tricky for sure. If you can get this app to speak back and forth from the HX that would be my guess: th-cam.com/video/0kFzVUApVg0/w-d-xo.html
You could set it up so that you are basically seeing exactly what’s going on on the hx stomp on the Midi Designer App. That’s how I would do it anyways. But I’m curious if the app would show what’s going on on the HX when you press buttons on the HX and not on the app
@@ScottUhlMusic well I downloaded the app so I’ll let you know what I find. Btw, love the channel! We need more folks making content that relates to performing musicians! Appreciate the effort.
Hey Scott, do you know if this type of setup could work the other way around. By that I mean the foot switch controlling an app on the ipad. I want to connect my lighting console with an ipad, then use the foot switch to control the ipad app. I can’t see why this wouldn’t work but I wanted someone else’s thoughts😂 I’ve been asked a couple times recently to play guitar and control lights, so it would be nice to do both at the same time.
Yup, you definitely can send midi info for sure as well! For the HX stomp I did a video about how to send midi and other info here: th-cam.com/video/sgZeMznMBFA/w-d-xo.html
My man, thank you for this video!!! I’m super MIDI ignorant so I’ve been looking into a midi controller for my pedals. Looks like I’ll be either buying an iRig2 midi and putting in some time to learn to patch midi or spend 250+ dollars on a midi controller switcher and still learn to program the midi 😅
@@ScottUhlMusic just got over my 'MIDI headache' after 6 hrs of head bashing. My Roland FA-06 requires a USB driver change in the general settings or the keyboard will not receive the midi messages. Your video inspired me to make science fiction a reality thanks!
Hey @Scott uhl I been trying to figure out how you formatted your text in onsong to only bold the first few words in a line, rather than the whole line ಠಿ_ಠ I hitup onsong and they said currently that is a feature request.
I make my charts on my computer and then import them into OnSong. So I don't use the built in OnSong settings/charts. That way I can make them look how I want to.
I’m an apple guy, so those are the products and use and review. I would imagine other tablets are able to send midi as well though, I just do not know their setups or configurations.

Revisited this video after buying an ipad, hx stomp, and CME bluetooth midi... Very well explained on the patch change and cc stuff. 👌🏻👌🏻💯
Thanks! And great setup you have 🤘
This was an amazing video! I'm drinking from a firehose...but this was helpful!
Your setup is insane… what a great video!
Thanks!
Hi!!! great stuff!! my question is, whyd you need the iphone in between? why not the ipad only? thanks!
You don’t need an iPhone in between. I was showing you two different ways to connect devices 👍

Once again…great video! Wondering if its possible to do 2 Wired connections via midi; Morningstar wired midi and an ipad wired at the same time?
You can do multiple connections for sure if you have enough ports 👍
Awesome setup man and very close to what I’m attempting minus keys and drums!
Thanks! Yeah it’s a nice setup to not have to bring a laptop for sure
Very helpful, thanks for posting!
