iOS

Most iOS software will detect your Woovebox. For any apps that don't however, you can use a utility app like Bluetooth MIDI Connect to connect your Woovebox to these apps.

Please note that due to Safari not supporting the WebMIDI standard, WooveConnect will currently not work on iOS devices. An upcoming EU directive will force Apple to allow other browser engines

If you need to transfer SysEx to or from your iOS device, you can use any standard SysEx manager (such as Sysex Base).

If you wish to update the firmware using your iOS device, you can download the firmware in .SYX format to your iOS device, and open it using such a SysEx manager. Please note that you may need to configure your iOS device to not turn off the screen during long SysEx transfers.


SysEx Base example

  • Reset your iOS device (e.g. power it off, and power it back on)
  • (optional) Turn off WiFi if your connection is suffering from packet loss.
  • Launch SysEx base.
  • Go into the MIDI tab.
  • Choose "Connect to Device" under BLUETOOTH MIDI
  • Turn on your Woovebox while holding down 1/Cd.
  • Your device will appear in the list and can now be selected to connect to (the Woovebox will report "BLE Conn").
  • Choose "Back".
  • Ensure Bytes Transmitted per Second is set to 3125 or below.
  • Choose the Files tab.
  • Find and select the SysEx file you wish to upload.
  • Press the play icon to start the transfer (your Woovebox will show 'rcv' and a progress percentage).

Once again, please note that you may have to configure your iOS device to not turn off the screen during long SysEx transfers (or otherwise keep the device alive by interacting with the screen). Please also note that the packet loss protection found in Wooveconnect is not available in other applications. If packet loss occurs ("stuck at 99%"), please refer to the section about enhancing connection stability (for example temporarily turning off WiFi).
