Can anyone set up their iPhone with the new AC Sabre $5 app to run Reason synths in an iMac or other computer. This old dude needs to know.

Not familiar with this app - but it looks like this app runs wireless wifi or bluetooth.jfrichards wrote:Can anyone set up their iPhone with the new AC Sabre $5 app to run Reason synths in an iMac or other computer. This old dude needs to know.

I've always had trouble with reliability when using wireless between ios and mac - however:
1- make sure your Network session is enabled on the mac through Audio/MIDI Setup. And that you iPhone is selected and connected.
2- Network Session OUT is enabled on your iOS app
3- In Reason, Preferences >> Control Surfaces >> Double click on iPhone and make sure MIDI Input "Network Session" is enabled.
(I hated using wireless and now use the MusicIO app. I just connect a cable between iDevice to mac. It's just so much easier)
Good luck.

Hey Strat, thanks a million! My iPhone is now a new midi controller for Reason, using all the features of Sabre. I'm playing a grand/strings patch in Parsec with Scales & Chords set on a similar mode as in Sabre. I can play the Sabre and the Akai MPK88 at the same time

iDevices make GREAT controllers and there are some cool apps to take advantage of them.
How are you finding the latency? I do notice a difference between WIFI and just plugging direct and using cable - though, it's pretty slight and depends on what I'm playing.

Haven't noticed a problem with the latency, but I've been using it to write improvisational pieces, like this one (bass, bells, and violin), which tend to be imprecise timing-wise. Here's one named Harry's Dance after the Sabre inventor Harry (actually Hari Karam Singh of Air Craft from London - notice how the woman with an iPhone is thinking "how the f^#k can I do that?):

Hey Strat, did this piece to see about latency. Checked the MIDI notes on the sequencer grid with lines at 1/16 and the latency is really good. Notes came out exactly on the lines when I played on beat, even the 1/32 notes. By the way, the 8 petals for playing outside the center include the one at 7:30 that adds a 5th to the note, and the petal at 4:30 adds another harmony. These are great for playing bass because bass players tend to add two-note chords all the time.

@jfrichards If you end up with latency use http://www.s-r-n.de/midile/
You'll have something like 2-3 ms + the 50 up of your iphone screen. Using this setup with Lemur
