Messing around with littleBits MIDI bit

I’ve been playing around with my new littleBits MIDI bit. It’s pretty easy to get to grips with. It handles USB MIDI and 5 pin MIDI too, which is very handy. It all worked very well actually. I tested it out using Genome MIDI Sequencer on my iPad. No problems at all.

I got it to hopefully make my littleBits collection a bit more useful. I think that it will. The down side is that it appears that one of the oscillators in my kit appears to have stopped working. Which is disappointing. I doubt that there’s anyway to fix it sadly. I guess I’ll just have to get a new one.

Passing MIDI files between iOS apps

I was making a little tune in Chordbot today and remembered that it has a very nice feature allowing an export to MIDI and email function. Once you’ve emailed yourself the file you can open it in a variety of apps, I decided to use Music Studio, which works really well. From there you can add anything else.

I’ll have to see how it works with other apps next.
