At this point i could see the APC under the 'midi in' and the 'midi out' and messages passing through the 'Alist' but it didn't seem to have much of an effect on ableton, so i decided this was not what i was looking for and exited Midipipe, i did not save the pipe or anything to that effect. While playing with it i dragged over a few options from the list in an attempt to get some kind of a response that i might be able to understand and run with, including 'midi in', 'midi out', 'message converter' and 'Alist' (cause this seemed to show the messages the APC was sending). It turned out to appear to be a little over my hear or at least more over my head than i care to delve deeper into. ![]() I installed midipipe in an attempt to play around with how my APC 40 communicates with ableton live. If i put the Alist before midi out, tells well the move of the cc, you can see it going through the whole range but not the nrpn( which is well mapped or targeted on the device(mopho) but only with note on note off!! Help!Īlso, great program, but would that be possible to have the NRPN choosers in HEX as an option, as every manual lists the cc98 and 99 (MSB and LSB) as hex so it would be way more practical when maping I also continue to await the next-generation Apple Magic Keyboard, which will undoubtedly add a USB-C port and possibly new multi-device pairing features to bring it up to feature parity with every other wireless keyboard out on the market today.Darkdistractions wrote:Hi, i got troubles with midipipe trying to convert ccs to nrpns to control my mopho and tetra, i just got a korg nanokontrol which only sends ccs and i need nrpns but the thing is that the converted message is a kind of note on note off, the parameter is well map but something must be causing that and dont know what!! I ve well done the pipe i guess, midi in ( nano) message converter ( cc 20 to nrpn 0/120, channel 3) midi out( mopho) and here is the message note on note off( i m using osx 10.5) instead of going through the full range of value(0-127) here it goes direct from 0 to 127 But sometimes, the simple solution is enough. A fancier solution to this problem would likely involve plugging the keyboard into a KVM switch of some sort. It’s not exactly what I would call elegant, but it does work so I’ve rolled with it for a couple years now. The Touch ID sensor also works to unlock the Mac as long as the wireless connection is active. ![]() If I want to toggle typing back to the Mac, I flick the power switch on the keyboard itself and it reverts to wirelessly talking to the Mac. When I boot up the Windows PC, the wired connection takes priority and all keyboard input is then directed at the PC. When the Windows PC is switched off, as it is most of the time, the keyboard defaults to Bluetooth and seamlessly pairs itself to the MacBook. ![]() So here’s what I do: I connect the MacBook to the keyboard wirelessly over Bluetooth … and I have the wired Lightning to USB connection permanently plugged into the Windows PC. Luckily, I found a dumb hack to let me do just that. The integrated Touch ID sensor for unlock is also a convenience I didn’t want to give up, if I could help it. See for instance the Logitech MX Keys, which can connect over Bluetooth to up to 3 devices simultaneously and allows you to switch between them with a keystroke.īut I like the layout and tactility of the Apple keyboard enough that I wanted to keep using it. Unlike most modern wireless keyboard and mice, the Magic Keyboard does not have a built-in feature to let you pair to multiple machines. It’s a bit of a silly hack - but it requires no additional accessories and just works - here’s how. I like the Apple Magic Keyboard enough that I’ve figured out a way to use it with both of my computers at once. ![]() I have a MacBook Pro that I use for most things, and a desktop Windows PC I mostly use casually to play games.
