Notice that except for the first line, all the songs begin with their directory location. The first line implies that the 
song exists in the {/Root} directory.  

 

 
 

Operating Tips 

Reconnecting Bluetooth: 

Press and HOLD

 the BTConnect softkey on the tablet to restart, reselect, and reconnect 

the Bluetooth link. Example: if after connecting, the mMS hardware is powered off and powered on again while 
the tablet App is running, 

press and HOLD

 the BTConnect button to go to the Bluetooth link screen. This button 

may  also  be  tapped  once  quickly  to  reassert  the  Bluetooth  connection  -  it  verifies  Bluetooth  link  and  if 
disconnected tries to reestablish the connection.  

Removing the SD Memory card while operating or playing a song: Whenever the SD memory card is removed and 

replaced while the mMS hardware is powered on, the hardware will go through a soft-reset – the mMS firmware 
will start again as though first powered on. However, soft reset does not change the status of the Bluetooth, and 
so if it was linked to the tablet, it will remain linked during the soft reset. While the bluetooth  may be unaffected 
by a soft reset, the tablet and mMS still need to be 

resynchronized

 – do so by selecting the {/Root} or any known 

directory. Avoid removing the SD card during active communication directory change. 

Autoplay delay: During autoplay, new songs will begin playing after the Song Interval Timer counts down to zero. 

Pressing the STOP button will terminate the countdown and play. The countdown will appear on the selection bar 
with the next song to play indicated.  

Tablet Sleep Mode: After wirelessly linking the tablet and Blutooth, the tablet can be put into sleep mode to conserve 

battery power. When sleeping there is no active communication between the tablet and  mMS. When the tablet 
wakes  it  will  try  to  automatically  reconnect  the  bluetooth  link.  Avoid  pressing  any  of  the  softkeys  until  the 
BTConnect status indicator is again blinking green.  

Active Communication Interruption: This system relies upon active communication between the tablet and the mMS 

hardware. If the communication link is broken during directory change command, the App or mMS hardware or 
both  may  appear  to  pause,  but  will  self  recover.  Yet  if  a  directory  change  has  been  initiated,  let  the  process 
complete before changing the Bluetooth status, such as putting the tablet to sleep.  

Filename Transfer Speed: Transferring filenames to the tablet should take approximately 4 seconds per 500 songs 

with average filename length of 37 characters. If the transfer takes much longer than this, try reformatting the SD 
memory card, using FAT32 file system. 

Tablet and mMS synchronization: After linking the tablet and mMS hardware, if the hardware is powered off and 

on again, or the SD card removed and reinstalled, even though the bluetooth may relink automatically, the mMS 
hardware will not be synchronized with the tablet. To resynchronize, select the /{ROOT} directory on the tablet, 
or press and HOLD the BTConnect button to relink the Bluetooth from the App start screen. 

mMS  Status  LED:  The  LED  on  the  mMS  generally  indicates  power  on  (red)  or  power  on  and  bluetooth  linked 

(blue). The LED blinks status information, on boot – blink 2, then 3, then 4 times, as it initializes. When linked to 
the tablet, each soft-button press causes the LED to blink indicating active connection. Repeated pattern blinking 
during boot means there is an SD memory card error: check the card and correct.      

       

 
mMS Configuration File 

   The  mMS  can  use  a  configuration  file  to  set  certain  operating  defaults.  The  configuration  file  filename  is, 
MegaMidiConfig.txt, and must be located in the {/Root} directory only. If the configuration file is missing, then 
defaults are automatically used, and so this file is not necessary for operation using default settings only.
