Dear all,
I've downloaded a midi usb library from this thread :
midi usb device manager
The midi device ( Deluge ) has an USB-midi-input port and I thought I could use it to control via Android some parameter.
However, the app does not connect to this device.
Since the midi device has also a standard Midi In port (DIN), I could try to use it instead. But I'm puzzled which kind of adapter shoud I use. Some app on the play store use a "usb otg" adapter, which is "merely" like a charge usb cable with a female usb port at one end.
I thought however, that a usb-a ---> midi DIN cable should be the right one, if it exists.
Has someone of you succeded to connect an android device to a midi instrument ? If so, which usb cable and which b4a library has been used ?
UPDATE
It seems that the Android device - an old Samsung Galaxy - which I want to use as a midi controller, does not support Usb OTG (Usb On The Go), which is "conditio sine qua non" in order to be able to connect to usb-midi devices.
I've tried with a Samsung A50 - it doesn't support Usb OTG too. And it didn't work either.
A question.
Is the use of Midi only possible on Android devices whith support of Usb OTG, or are there other solutions/midi library that would work also on devices without this capability ?
Many thanks in advance for your attention
