If you need to know the specific computer IP for that - click start, type in cmd, click enter, type in ipconfig, click enter and your computer’s ip within your network will show as the IPv4 address. - Open the Pure Chords Server. If your firewall asks permission for the server to use the internet, allow it passage. - Select the MIDI output driver you would like to use. You must have available MIDI drivers for both your DAW and Pure Chords if you would like to use your phone to control DAW plugins. If that is not available with your setup look into a virtual midi driver like loopMIDI, LoopBe1 or Hubi's Loopback MIDI Driver (or any other) to add some virtual drivers. - Open the Pure Chords app. - Navigate to the app’s settings page and set your IP address. You can use http://www.whatsmyip.com to get this quickly. - Match the port and instance number between the app and the server. - Assign the MIDI channel and any MIDI CC numbers you would like to use. - Confirm settings and return to the app’s main page. That’s it! - Remember - each time you update the app check to see if the server has been updated too!

Being an official app from PreSonus they use the same setup as the DAW and they made it for free, it seems like a perfect controller if using Studio One.

This is something that happened in Netherlands and it was only for one day. They have used conductive ink that got printed on Place mats as can be seen above that can be used to control and record a music app that goes with Android and iOS. If I was living in the Netherlands guess I would have had to eat one of their disgusting hamburgers to play with this! But have a feeling that this will happen in some other countries as well so maybe keep an eye out on the local McDonalds... Unfortunately conductive ink do not last too long on paper as any crinkle is like breaking the circuit otherwise it would be a neat thing to keep around. If any reader played with this please let us know what you thought in the comment section!  Ahhh good news for guitar players that can not be bothered with keyboards. Android 6.01 is necessary though. It is not out yet but there is the possibility to sign up to get to know when it is ready plus to know more about what to expect... http://android.jamstik.com/_   Playstore Info: Since there are many request to play chromatically on Volca Sample, I have manage to create a simple app. You can connect your midi keyboard. I used Korg microKey 61. And play piano on your volca sample. Cost of the app is free. The setup is shown in the photo above.You will need 1. OTG cable $1 at amazon 2. usb to midi cable $24 at amazon 3. a 4 port usb hub. No need if you are using Korg microKeys as it already have 2 usb slot. Alternatively you can buy the above accessories direct from me so that you can be sure they will work. For the sample, you can use factory default 74 which is a electric piano sound on the volca sample. For me, I use my another app to record A4(440Hz) note from my piano and transfer to my volca sample. You can download it here at Volca Sample Transfer - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appspot.volcasampletransfer After you have a sample, you can tweat it on the volca sample. As you play on your keyboard, the sound will be based on your adjusted parameter! The app auto configures your midi in and midi out devices. Alternatively, you can download the device button app "Midi Connect" to manually configure your midi. Have fun! Was going to write about this and forgot but saw this video and got reminded and god damn this will be leading to unexpected and of course obvious uses. Midi keyboards and controllers for some direct playing and composing are the most obvious ones. But there will be more out of the box thinking when this comes into full swing. I am looking forward to when this is an actuality and it seems that the development is far ahead so it could be not too far of into the future. One thing that suddenly makes smart watches interesting for music making is when this gets implemented. I have really been wondering what real uses smart watches are bringing to the table but now...
