MIDI BLUETOOTH SETUP

on THIS PAGE

If you have problems with connecting your PC to RPI try to add

DisablePlugins = pnat

to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf file. You will have to restart RPI after making this change.

If you still have problems with connecting your Windows tablet/pc try to install Blueman, graphical bluetooth manager.

sudo apt-get install blueman

Of course for Raspberry Pi OS Lite you will need to install GUI first.

  • Enabling BT support in Synthesia:

First, make sure the "Midi.UseWinRtMidi" option is enabled:

  1. Hold your Shift key while launching Synthesia (to open the configuration window).
  2. Find the "Midi.UseWinRTMidi" entry in the Setting drop-down box.
  3. Add a check mark to the "Value" box.

BT support on different devices:

  • BLE MIDI on macOS: completely automatic and supported
  • BLE MIDI on iOS: completely automatic and supported
  • BLE MIDI on Win10: enable the "Midi.UseWinRTMidi" advanced option to try and use Microsoft's complete mess of a UWP driver.
  • BLE MIDI on Android: if your device supports the "Android M MIDI" feature, just connect to the MIDI device using these instructions and it should "work" fine, with all of Android's awful latency and dropped events
