MIDI & Virtual MIDI
Basic Operation Using External Controllers
Use Apple’s Camera Connection Kit to connect a CoreMIDI compatible USB MIDI
controller to your iPad’s charging port.
You can also use an iOS compatible MIDI interface, such as iRig MIDI, to a MIDI
controller via a standard MIDI cable.
NOTE:
USB MIDI controller may require a power adaptor to work with iPad.
Go to Galileo’s MIDI Preferences panel to specify the input MIDI channel for the
organ manual you wish to control. You can specify a MIDI channel 1-‐16, or select
OMNI to receive input from all the channels. If you specify a particular channel,
make sure your external controller is also set to transmit on that same channel.
If your external controller is equipped with a pitch wheel, you can use it to apply
pitch bending. The pitch bend range can be configured in the Tuning section of the
Galileo preferences panel.
If your external controller is able to transmit MIDI Continuous Control (“CC”)
messages, you can use this feature to control Galileo’s parameters. Please refer to
MIDI Learn below for more information.
Controlling Galileo using CoreMIDI Networking
Galileo can be controller via a networked CoreMIDI session. Please refer to Apple’s
documentation on using the Audio MIDI Setup app to deploy a network session
between your Mac and iOS device.
Using Galileo with other Virtual MIDI Apps
To control Galileo using another Virtual MIDI app on the same device, follow these
steps,
1)
Turn on the BG AUDIO switch on the Galileo preferences panel.
CAUTION: when Galileo will not be used for a long time period, make
sure to turn off the BG AUDIO feature to conserve device battery!
2)
Navigate to a Virtual MIDI compatible app that you wish to use to control
Galileo. Make sure the app has a virtual MIDI Out port.
3)
Refer to the app’s user manual for connecting to Galileo’s MIDI IN port.
4)
Return to Galileo if necessary to specify the input channel. Additionally,
you can see a list of currently available Virtual MIDI or networked input
