MobileSheets Forums

MobileSheets is awesome, first let me say that.
I have about 300 songs in MS that I use for my acoustic gigs, which I pick and choose from on the fly depending on what I feel like playing that day.
I use MS to send MIDI program changes for each song to my VoiceLive 3 and that works great.
I recently added a new MIDI device (Strymon Cloudburst Reverb) that I would like to also control with MS.
The problem is going to be that in order to do that I will now need to add a PC message to all 300+ songs, as there is never any particular order that I play them in so I can't just program a handful of PC messages into a single set list.
Is there any way, or can there be any way, to bulk add a MIDI message to a batch of songs, or to copy a MIDI message from one song to a batch of other songs? I REALLY don't want to spend several hours adding PC messages for the Cloudburst to each song individually.

What you are describing is one area where MobileSheets is lacking at the moment - the ability to copy/paste MIDI commands, apply them to many songs at once, or to set up favorites/templates. It's very high on my priority list to do something about this, as I know it's a major pain for some users. I just haven't had time to dedicate to it yet. You can directly modify the database if you know how to use SQL queries - that would be faster than going through MobileSheets itself. However, if you've never used queries like that before (it's quite technical), then you may not feel comfortable going through that process. I can try to help if you do want to try it though.

Hi Mike, 
there are many posts about this topic here in the forum. 
All the posts refer to SQ-Lite for changing multiple MIDI data at once. 
Is there any new information on whether it's possible without SQ-Lite?

It's something I want to address very soon.

Mike

Thanks.

Copy/Paste of MIDI commands sounds great.

What about adding some commands to every new song?
I use different programs, but the commands are similar: CC - pause - PC
Its easy to change just the program number.

A workaround would be to create an empty song containing the MIDI commands.
This "seed" song could be copied to every new song. 
This way every new song contains the MIDI commands of the seed.

Hi Mike, 
do you have any further details on the subject yet? 
Or perhaps even a date?

Perhaps I will take you up on that offer to assist with SQL. With over 600 songs in my book and six different MIDI devices I'm controlling, I really need a way to bulk edit, assign and organize MIDI commands.
