Need help selecting song via external MIDI commands
#1
I just purchased MSP for Android and I'm trying to figure out how to select a song via an external device via USB MIDI. Searching through the manual, online videos, forum hasn't netted me a solution. I feel like I'm dancing around the answer and just not seeing it.

My setup: The core of my live set is an MPC Live III, which can transmit all kinds MIDI data. I have my Android phone mounted over it with my lyrics/notes, connected to the MPC via USB cable. ľve created a couple test songs, each with its own ID. They are in a setlist.

My need: When I play a new song sequence on the MPC, I want the MPC to send a MIDI command to the phone to select the appropriate song in MSP.

What's working: The phone and MPC are talking to each other via MIDI. I can send CC and other traditional MIDI messages back and forth and they show up in the MPC's MIDI monitor as well as the MSP's "listening" screen.  I have the connections setup as Google via USB. 

My question: What MIDI command(s) do I need to send to MSP for it to select a specific song? Is there additional setup that I'm missing? For example, how would I tell the MPC to select a song whose Song ID is 7?

Thanks for your help!

Long press a song on the library screen to select it, tap "Edit Song" at the top of the screen, go to the MIDI Tab, tap the + icon, set up the MIDI command you want to use to load that particular song, then toggle off "Send on song load" and toggle on "Load Song on Receive". Tap OK to save the change, tap OK to save the changes in the song editor, then send the MIDI command from your MPC Live device. You should then see the song load.
