MIDI Mobilizer & MIDI Memo Recorder Advanced Guide
Page 5
Getting Started
Connecting the MIDI Mobilizer
MIDI Mobilizer connects directly to the 30-pin connector of an iPhone or iPod touch. It is compatible
with all current generations of iPhone and iPod touch that are using OS 3.0 or greater operating system.
Although some other models of iPods (such as the iPod nano) also include a 30-pin connector, they do
not provide a way to download applications so MIDI Mobilizer cannot be used with these other models.
MIDI Mobilizer comes with two Planet Waves MIDI cables to connect to your MIDI devices. The MIDI
Input of MIDI Mobilizer is the left-most connector, and has an LED indicator shaped as a triangle
pointing towards the iPhone. The MIDI Output is on the right side, and has an LED triangle pointing
away from the iPhone. MIDI Mobilizer’s MIDI Input should be connected to your device’s MIDI Output,
and MIDI Mobilizer’s MIDI Output should be connected to your device’s MIDI Input.
Downloading MIDI Memo Recorder
To use your MIDI Mobilizer, it is necessary to download the free MIDI
Memo Recorder application from the App Store. If MIDI Memo hasn’t
been downloaded when MIDI Mobilizer is connected, you’ll see the
message shown to the right. Clicking “Yes” will open the App Store so
that the application can be downloaded. MIDI Memo Recorder can also
be searched for directly in the App Store by searching for “MIDI Memo”.
Running MIDI Memo Recorder with MIDI Mobilizer
To use MIDI Memo, just press on its application icon. If the
MIDI Mobilizer is not connected, MIDI Memo will display the
message on the right. Pressing “Learn More” will open Safari
to a web page that provides more information on MIDI
Mobilizer hardware. Pressing “Not Now” allows the MIDI
Memo application to run without the MIDI Mobilizer hardware.
Although it won’t be possible to record or play back MIDI files without the MIDI Mobilizer, MIDI Memo
can still be used to rename, reorder, delete, or email any memos that have already been created.
