Software FracPad III - iOS/Android/Mac/Win Editor for the Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, AX8/FX8, Axe-Fx III and FM3/FM9

Third party software for Fractal Audio products.
Alexandre,
Thanks for providing fracpad, this is a great tool for mobile editing.
Admittedly, I have not used it for some time (it did work then as far as I remember), but now connecting to a MD-BT01 (fw 1.0.7) does not work anymore. This is with both iphone 11 @ ios 15.2 and ipad pro 10.5 @ iPadOs 15.3b1.

Connection to the BT midi interface seems to work (I have named the interface axefxiii) and I see it also under BT devices in settings at this time:

However, under network, I do not see anything... If I remember correctly, here the midi-i/o should appear.:

With the camera adapter, connection works.

Thanks for pointing me in any direction.
Regards
Peter

Hi
You have to name the interface md-bt01, as it was from factory
And use the Bluetooth button in FracPad, you'll see it there and it will connect.
Midimittr is nomore needed
 
Alexandre, thanks for your response.
I did rename the interface, and it listed as connected in the bluetooth setting.
However, Fracpad still does not connect.
I see the bluetooth interface, now named "MD-BT01", however, under network, I cannot select anything.
This is what the log file says:

Thanks for any further advice.
 
Bluetooth MIDI information :
FracPad can access your AxeFx III/II/XL/XL+ via Bluetooth when using a Yamaha MD-BT01 interface. For the AX8/FX8, use the Yamaha UD-BT01 and be sure to upgrade it to firmware 1.04 with the yamaha ud/md utility available on the US appstore.
Then use the iOS midimittr application.
(https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/midimittr/id925495245?mt=8)
I made a mistake and upgraded the firmware to 1.07. I can still connect to FracPad, the preset loads, but the values are all set to 0, and cannot select another preset. Did I just bump my MD-BT01 out of support with FracPad? or at least in a non-working state?

Maybe, i don't know and won't try because i need my md-bt01 ;)
This is not a "support with FracPad" problem, it's a correct sysex support in general '. If it doesn't work it' s because it doesn't transmit data correctly, not only for FracPad but for the whole midi sysex specification
 
Is there any preference between the Yamaha MD-BT01 and the CMD WIDI Master interfaces for use with an FM3 please? Thanks,

The only difference is the CME has an Android/iOS support app while the Yamaha only has iOS
But both work with Android and iOS

Forgot to respond right away, but I found that my USB was connected and was causing this behavior 🤦🏽‍.
 
Having a slight issue. Seems like the tempo indicated in FracPad isn't matching the tempo that's in the preset. I'm connected via USB-C and MIO Midi Adapter. Even via BlueTooth, the tempo doesn't seem to match up. Is there a setting I should be enabling/disabling to get this to match up? I've only had the app for about a week, so I'm still learning my way around this. Thanks!
