midi support for play store apps on chrome os

[Ryan Conrad]

Hi!

I love my new chromebook!

And I love running android apps on it! (and Linux too :) )

Any chance that midi support will be implemeted in android runtime so that I can also plug and play with my midi on keyboard ? (I purchased  Caustic, it's great)

cheers!

[Phil Burk]

Hello Ryan,

Thanks for the question. I am also excited about Android on ChromeBook.

We are working on support for USB MIDI on Android on Chrome. But I cannot predict when it will ship.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi!

Good to know! No emergency, I'll just keep making music on windows until then.

Cheers!

Really looking forward to this. Any updates? I know it works in the browser but opening it up to Android apps pretty much eliminates my need to go back and forth between machines most days...

Chrome os 65 release note gave me some hope but I gave it a try and it's still not working.

[Mario Kemper]

Same here. I thought the changelog meant that android apps on chrome os can now use the midi api, but at least for USB-MIDI it still doesn't work.

[Dmitrii Sutiagin]

In fact some apps do work with USB MIDI, but others don't. For example, DRC synth works, but Caustic does not.

[Scott Overpeck]

Definitely not working with DJay2 yet. Any updates?

Caustic is using an old, Android 3.1 based USB MIDI driver, while DRC probably uses an Android M (6.x) MIDI API based driver.

So that might explain why DRC is working and Caustic is not.

It would be interesting to know if G-Stomper Studio or the free G-Stomper Rhythm is working.

G-Stomper apps use an Android M (6.x) MIDI API based driver as default + an Android 4.1 based USB MIDI driver as fallback.

Can someone with a Chromebook give one of the G-Stomper apps a check?

That would be really helpful for us.

Thanks in advance

[Ryan Conrad]

G-Stomper is not working. DRC works out of the box.

Also tested fruity quiet recently it was not working. 

[Andreas Grässer]

Thanks a lot, Ryan.

Problem found... it was just a misplaced feature check for "android.hardware.usb.host", which is clearly not available on chrome os.

It's compiling in this moment. I mail you a link to a pre-release of G-Stomper Rhythm once it's ready (just to be 100% sure).

[Michaël]

Ok will test!

The MIDI hotfix for Chrome devices went live yesterday.

It would be great if you could give any of the G-Stomper apps a quick check.

Thanks in advance

[Michaël]

Cannot do it right now but will do next week.

Hi!

Works nice with my also mini. Good job!

MiCk.

[Andreas Grässer]

Thanks a lot, Ryan, for taking the time to test it.

Great to hear that it works as it should now.

[Michaël]

You're welcome!

I'll take some time to try out stomper studio it seems promising.

Has anyone had any luck with DJay2 or CrossDJ? I've yet to be able to get them to work.

I haven't tested those apps. But I have tested FL Mobile by Image Line. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Here are my specs

Chrome OS Version 71.0.3578.94 (Official Build) (64-bit)

ASUS Flip 302-C

Fl Mobile 3.2.06

Akai MPK II - Using a USB HUB and also Tried direct connection.

[Phil Burk]

Hello David,

Android MIDI should work on all ChromeBooks that have ARC++ (Android Running on Chrome) AND have Android N or later.

What version of Android is that running?

FL Mobile may be trying to go directly to the USB drivers, which may not work on ARC++.

You might want to try the official Android MIDI Test apps from the Play Store. They are pretty easy to use.

[David Magnus]

Hello Phil,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I've also asked the developers of FL Mobile (Image-Line) to look into this.
My Asus 302 Flip is running ARC 5167872
Its the latest update sent to chromebooks.

I've downloaded the apps suggested and will report back.

David
