Hi Joe

I have the MD-BT01 connected to a DC3 Mk IV.  I connect to it using an iPad Pro and Sweet Midi Player and never have a problem.  I also connect with a laptop (Windows 10) running VanBasco.  Unfortunately, VanBasco can’t output a signal to a midi Bluetooth device so I send it via a dedicated wifi network (router under piano) using a wireless USB link (IOGear GUWIP204 Wireless 4-port USB sharing station) and I have the same problem you are having with the iPad  -  playing pauses and after a few seconds a bunch of bunched-up notes hits the piano.  I wish I knew a solution and sorry I can’t help.  At least you know it can work properly with an iPad.

 

Kind regards

Subject: [disklavier] Bluetooth BT01 trouble

 

  

Hi all,

 

I have a DC7A with the original controller.  Works great.  When I use the Yamaha MD-BT01 bluetooth adapter with my Ipad and Sweet Midi Player,  most of the time it works very well.  Trouble is it also quite often has (what I think is) latency.  The song will be playing and there will be a slight but noticeable "skip of the beat".  It's very intermittent and I can't find anything that makes it better or worse.  It will happen with the Ipad 3 feet away or 20 feet away.  It happens with 2 different Ipads.  It's very annoying.  Any suggestions would be great.

 

Next,  I'm an Apple guy.  Everything here is Apple.  I really like SMP but the version for the desktop doesn't have a random play function and I don't like hearing stuff over and over in the same order.  Does anyone know a good app/program that will allow me to play my Midi's from a Mac through a USB/Midi adapter?  Something like SMP that has playlists but also has a random play feature?  I do have a VERY old Windows XP computer that I used for working with the 3.5 floppies and it has VanBascos player on it.  That does what I want but I don't want to have the massive box, additional keyboard, etc. around just to do that.  Again,  any help would sure be great.

 

Thanks for looking at this.

 

Joe
