Midi Designer not seeing events from a mac

Question

I'm trying to get my mac to send events to MD. I've tried a couple of things on the mac ... an app of my own that generates events and a thing called Midimock that generates notes and other events. Neither appear to be reaching the iPad. I also, on the Mac, have a thing called MIDI Monitor which is seeing events sent by both my own app and Midi Mock.

Also on the iPad I'm running MIDI Wrench which looks at events on the iPad. It's not seeing events from the Mac either. It's showing devices Bluetooth and Network. It's also seeing the Mac but has it marked as offline.

I have to be missing something blindingly obvious here. Any thoughts?

 

thanks.

Let's focus on Wifi. Have you seen midiDesigner.com/connect? Old but good. You can skip the ENTIRE ad-hoc part, but you need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.

On the other hand, download musicIO - MIDI only and use your USB cable. But let's focus on Wi-Fi for diagnosing, methinks

Thanks

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Midi designer is sending events just fine to the Mac, it's events generated on the Mac that aren't getting over to the iPad. I'm using wifi, not an ad hoc connection.

Sorry, good point, that was already clear, my bad. So... if you "spy on connections" in MIDI monitor you see the events? And you're aware of the MIDI monitor inside MD?

I can see the events in a midi monitor on the Mac but not using a monitor on the iPad. I was aware of the learn button, is that what you mean?

---

No. There are two LEDs on the top right of MD, one for out and one for in. Also, there is More -> Log on iPad or there's a dedicated button on iPhone.

OK, I have it.  Using MidiMock I had to set the destination to my Network Session. My own app I had to direct its events to the network session using the Live Routings in Audio MIDI setup.

It's a little fiddly, I have to set the route avery time I fire up the app, I don't suppose there's a way to make the routing stick, or just have my app decide where to send events? Long shot, maybe.

Sorry for the delay: please drop me a mail to support at midiDesigner dot com and we can discuss shortcomings and workarounds. Thanks and glad you got it up and running.

No problem. I have it all working now thanks.
