    The Brotech Electronics Mini Midi Se (mMS) is a tablet controlled midi player used to play midi files 
to  a  midi  enabled  instrument  such  as  a  band organ.  It  works  with  all midi  to  parallel  interface  boards  and  midi 
enabled instruments.  
 
The custom hardware is controlled wirelessly via Bluetooth linked to an Android 7" tablet using a custom App (8” 
HD8 tablet optional). One tablet can control an unlimited number of instruments, one at a time. The tablet acts as a 
remote directory and file name viewer and selector, showing a sorted list of midi files and directories stored on a 
SD memory card that is local to the mMS hardware. Select any song in the scrolling list, tap on it and it plays. The 
system will also play songs in a playlist that can be created using a text editor, or our companion App, MMS Playlist 
Editor. 
 
The mMS App has soft keys for Play Selection, Stop, Play Sequential, Play Random, Tempo change, Skip, Pause, 
and more...   
 
   An easy way to get acquainted with how the system operates, is to view the demonstration video s on the Brotech 
Electronics  YouTube  channel.  A  link  to  the  video  may  be  found  on  the  Brotech  Electronics  website,
