Start a clip by Forscore

Post by Matje » Thu Apr 08, 2021 5:19 pm

On an Ipad I use Forscore. This is an app to show scores. On a score you can place a button. When you push the button a midi message (program change or HEX message) can be send. Is it possible to start a track in Ableton when you push the button? And if tes, what kind of message it has to be?

Hello there,
it is quite easy. Once you hit the midi button in Ableton you have to click the play button. If forscore gets an incoming midi message it is assigned to the key. You can even trigger a scene by selecting a sheet in fourscore. I got this working yesterday and I am planning to make a video tutorial shortly.

Thanks. I tried, but Forscore doesn't get a midi message. I also see Ableton doesn't send a message when the midi button is enabled.

You have to connect your iPad via Midi Wlan Connection. I made this video.

Does it also work with Windows?
