Using the Editor on a Mobile Device

Overview



Running the Web Editor on Mobile devices, while possible, is not officially supported. If you have any issues trying to get this to work, we cannot guarantee any solution.

There are 2 ways to connect the controller to your phone

Via a USB Adaptor (you might need a OTG USB adaptor for Android)

Using a Bluetooth Dongle (For the MC6MKII, MC8 and MC6 PRO)


Connecting using a Bluetooth dongle in iOS



You will need to install the midimittr application in iOS, which manages Bluetooth MIDI connections.

Once you have the Bluetooth dongle connected to your iOS device, you can run the Web MIDI Browser app to open the Web Editor.

Connecting using a Bluetooth dongle in Android



If you are not able to connect to the Bluetooth dongle in Android via the native Bluetooth option, you will need to install an app called Bluetooth MIDI Connect.

Connecting using a USB adapter



For iOS, you will need the USB Camera Adaptor to connect your iOS device to your controller. Your device may still need to be powered with a 9VDC power supply. If your Apple device shows This accessory is not supported after you connect the controller, try using a better quality USB cable.

Please note that using a USB C to Lightning cable will not work. The Apple USB Camera Adaptor has a built-in circuitry to allow it to communicate to a USB device. More info here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251973717

For Android, you will need to use a USB B adaptor and suit whatever your Mobile device connection is (Micro USB, USB C etc).

Running the Editor on iOS



We have an iOS app on the Apple Appstore.

Running the Web Editor on Android



Use Google Chrome on Android. Use the mobile-optimised Web Editor URL.
