Hi,
I was requested to explain my setup.
I'm using these components:
Also you need some software on your mobile Device. In my case I'm using an iPad.
Be shure that AIRSTEP Lite and WIDI Bud Pro (a Midi Bluetooth Dongle) running with actual firmware. With IOS you need this software for firmware updates:
- AIRSTEP Update
- WIDI
For customize:
- AIRSTEP
- and WIDI again
In 'WIDI' control that the BLE role is set to 'Auto (to all BLE MIDI devices)'
In this case the WIDI Bud Pro reacts as 'Midi Central' and accept other periperal MIDI devices to connet.
Important:
Than close the app and go to the system menu for bluetooth.
Search for 'WIDI Bud Pro' and set this device to ignore. So the WIDI Bud Pro doesn't connect automatically with your mobile device again.
The LED on WIDI Bud Pro blinks every second in blue.
Switch on your AIRSTEP Lite.
With actual firmware AIRSTEP Lite can be used with three devicese at the same time.
After some time the connection established and the LED colour of WIDI Bud Pro changed to turqoise.
And now the LED is fast flashing. This is becouse MIDI heartbeat messages.
Now you can assign some MIDI commands to AIRSTEP.
But only CC or PC function. SysEx messages not.
I'm using 4 different gain settings with foot switches 'A' and 'B'.
For that I use 'press' and 'long press'.
Here a example for foot switch 'A'
You are also able to swith effects.
Here an excample to switch Reverb on/off:
On Airstep I do not use PC codes at this time.
I'm using ForScore (a sheet software) on my iPad.
And there, I defined some PC codes to change the rig with entering a sheet.
For that you have to estabish a bluetooth connection between iPad and AIRSTEP.
Than AIRSTEP routes the MIDI messages forward to Kemper Player.
And on the other way I defined the foot switch 'D' on AIRSTEP to page turn in ForScore.
