AbleSet Connect

AbleSet Connect is an app for iOS and iPadOS that extends AbleSet’s web app with native features:

  • Automatically finds and connects to AbleSet on your local network
  • Displays the web app in full screen, with an option to hide the device’s status bar
  • Keeps your iPad’s or iPhone’s screen awake while active
  • Reports battery state and screen brightness to your device and allows you to remotely set screen brightness via OSC or the Devices page
  • Allows you to connect MIDI devices to your iPad or iPhone and use them with AbleSet’s built-in MIDI features and forward them via RTP MIDI

This app is currently in beta. You can join the beta on TestFlight to install it on your devices and give it a try. It should work with all versions of AbleSet 2 and 3, but requires 3.1.0-beta.14 or newer to access all features. Read more about it in the docs.

Testflight and AbleSet Connect installed! Anything in particular you want us to look out for?

Hey @lewisdavie,

The main things to test right now are:

  • Check if the app automatically finds and connects to AbleSet on your network.
  • If you have a MIDI controller or keyboard, head to Settings → MIDI Forwarding and test it out. You can also check if RTP MIDI forwarding works on your end.

Looking forward to your feedback!

… Do you plan to release an Android version?

Regards.

Automatic discovery works well for me on the same network. Any chance of getting it to work over a tailnet? We have Ableset running on an an always-on Mac, and I often work on setlist edits remotely…

Hey @ioi, I’m planning to keep this iOS for now. Maintaining feature parity on two platforms could be a challenge, especially since I’m making heavy use of Apple’s CoreMIDI framework.

I’ll add a custom host option in the next beta so you can connect to a machine by its IP address :slight_smile:

I am looking for an invitation code. Where do i find it? or do i need to request/be approved for one?

Thank you, looking forward to trying out the app

Hey @Psnick,

Just make sure you have the TestFlight app installed on your iOS device (download it from the App Store if you don’t have it), and open the TestFlight link for AbleSet Connect.

No invitation code needed needed.

I’m looking forward to your feedback!
