Hey, just discovered vidOS and it looks like it’s exactly what I’m looking for. Within 5 minutes I was able to control it using a hardware sequencer. Sending MIDI on Ch 16 to the iPad over USB with the CC values from the documentation worked! Now to figure out how to make use of all the cool effects, and then I can mix n match n sync audio patterns driving my synths with video ones driving vidOS from a single device.
It looks like vidOS has huge potential to grow, including with a variety of software and hardware inputs, and I would gladly contribute. I’m not currently looking to add new hardware to my setup, but if I can contribute to the software side (maybe an in-app purchase for people wanting to use it with non-Sleepy hardware?) I would be up for it.
Hey @jeroen020 welcome to the forum and thanks for your feedback. Happy to hear youre enjoying vidOS and are looking to support the effort!
I use it with both a midi sequencer and Mezzz at the same time personally, with Mezzz as the primary controller and my sequencers tuned to specific parameters for synced movements (I also don’t have much space on my synth table and its hard to find truly compact controllers that have the very high number of CCs accessible).
The primary way to support financially would be buying Mezzz of course since I"m making the app primarily for the first party controller but otherwise…
In app purchases will be coming but like anything else on the software end need more dev time to achieve this. So if you or someone you know has experience in iOS/Android C++ Vulkan development, I could definitely use the help as a lone dev and this is a position I am looking to fill on the team as we grow. For now I’m working out a lot of the basics of vidOS still and it will certainly continue to grow.
TLDR coding paywalls is not as exciting as making the app actually work for me so I’m getting to it!
Hey with the camera connection kit, you can hardwire midi-over-usb from your oxi to whatever you’re running vidOS on. Works with Elektron gear, and a korg nanokontrol.
But unless the oxi explicitly can function via Bluetooth, I would just hardwire it, always the safest bet, esp where connection is spotty .
Thanks! OXI does BLE to MIDI and MIDI over USB (which I will try soon). I wasn’t sure if there was a specific note or CC to send to get started or if I was missing a step to tell it to look out for the OXI One. I tried sending all the CC listed in the mapping, but I have had no success yet. It’s not a big deal since I would rather use Mezzz, but I thought it would be fun to share the modulation and LFO lanes from the sequencer.
You can try connecting with midimittr and it should then work as mapped on channel 1. My friend Ty tried this setup just after SB24 and said he got this working pretty easily.
Another good idea is to sanity check what you are sending with Protokol app.
