RE: iPad and Disklavier

2013-07-16 by Sheldon Deluty

Good Morning:

Does anyone know if it is possible to use an ipad with a midi connection to drive the Disklavier ?

Can you spec out the ipad app and the way you interface the ipad to the Disklavier, as well as how to get the midi files on to the ipad?

Thank you for your time.

Yes. You need the iPad camera connection kit.

It also depends on the type of Disklavier.  I have an e3 and the usb connection (USB host out) doesn't work -- you have to use the midi ports.  I use iconnectmidi1 to connect from the disklavier to my ipad4 (you can use a 30pin-lightning or usb-lightning camera kit with the iconnectmidi for the newer ipads; either work).

I essentially wanted to do the same thing, so I hooked up a Raspberry Pi the MIDI ports on my Disklavier, and I programmed a Web server on the Raspberry Pi to be able to play my library MIDI files through. Now I can browse my library and control the playback from my IPad or any other device with a Web browser. The Raspberry Pi is so small that I was able to hide it under the sofa next to the Disklavier.

Justin,

The use of the RaspberryPi is such a great idea, and one that I've been toying with. I'm delighted to hear that you've been able to implement a working setup. Any chance you'll be sharing details of your experience with the group? I'd love to leverage off your design!

Re: [disklavier] iPad and Disklavier

Hi Scott,

I'll try not to bore everyone by getting too technical, but...

I started out with buying the hardware:

Rasberry PI, decorative case, 8GB SD Card, USB Power Supply, USB to Midi Converter and a miniature USB to Wifi dongle.

I installed Raspian on the SDCard and then had to upgrade to Raspian 3.2.27 to get the USB to Wifi dongle to work.

I then converted my esq files to midi files using some free Windows tools.

I then wrote a midi playback program that I could control with signals using the ALSA API. I implemented start, stop, pause, resume, next song, previous song, play album and get current song functions. (Pause, resume took forever to figure out how to implement with ALSA.) I also added logic to remap midi channels for my Disklavier to recognize them and filter out any tracks that look like drum tracks.

I then created a set of web pages that would allow me to upload midi files and organize them by folder/album. I then added buttons to control the midi playback program through posix signals. I did this using HTML, Javascript and PHP. I then tested and tweaked my web site to work with Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. (Internet Explorer just had to do everything I needed differently than the rest.)

Here's an example of what it looks like:

It took me several weeks, but I can now control my piano from my iPad, or laptop and I don't have to worry about my floppy drive failing any more (as it was starting to act up.)

I hope this helps.

Justin

hi

In order to connect the Disklavier console to the Ipad, you need to use a special cable - its called i-MX1

If you want to be able to charge your iPad at the same time, you might want to consider this cable:

None of the adapters out there, either Yamaha or third party, have a lightning connector yet. You need to use a 30-pin to lightning connector as well as the midi connection system, whichever you choose. (I chose the iconnectMIDI because it was cheaper than the Yamaha and had more flexibility).

Hi Aswath:

Thank you for posting that link ( http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigmidi/ ).

With that, is there software to just play the files directly from the iPhone or iPad? It would be nice to have the MIDI files on the phone, and just play them directly. A web interface would also be nice, but that requires wifi, hosting, software.

Thanks,

Ken

Good morning, everyone.

Spencer, at this time, I do not know of any iOS MIDI interface that offers the Lightning connector that is found on the iPhone 5 or the iPad 4. However, Apple's Lightning-to-30-pin adapters will work with the existing MIDI interfaces:

http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter?fnode=3a

http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD824ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter-02-m?fnode=3a

I recommend the second of the 2 options as it will put less strain on the device's port.

I have provided a complete explanation of these MIDI issues here:

thanks for the link. however i am not going to pay $39 for a cable. the iphone5 is a great phone, the best i ever have owned but i am not going to pay Apple $39 to make it compatible with the 4. i have so many other ways to play midi, i don't need this. just thought is was another cool way to add to my arsenal but not for the cost of the cable plus the cost of the interface.

Check DealExtreme.com -- you'll often find the same cables for 99 cents.
