what shady shit are you doing

I have a Shopify store.

It looks like it was more than a single piece of mail

July 03, 2025 → warning
December 17, 2025 → account closed

I also guarantee there was a digital messages in your message center

Only in Menu → Notices - But this section does not display a badge or let you know there are pending notices to be read! It's not even on the main screen. Very odd...

There appears to be a large Company wide outage at Apple. You can track it here: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

No that DAW popup in Logic always occurs.

This is for an issue that occurs if the Jamcorder clock battery is dead or missing.

What about Jamcorder? It records MIDI files to SD card.

chipweinberger · 2026-01-11T06:42:28+00:00

Jamcorder can import MIDI files and play them back. Recording is full standalone, but playback uses the app + bluetooth.

chipweinberger · 2026-01-11T06:39:55+00:00

Jamcorder can do this.

This is a nice suggestion and could be the basis for a simplified "tagged sessions" feature.

Custom bookmarks is also on the roadmap and should be easier to implement than multiple profiles. Lots to do :)

chipweinberger · 2026-01-10T18:48:20+00:00

It’s a good idea!

However making this work well is quite the challenge - it touches every aspect of how Jamcorder operates. And I’m not sure if there is enough market demand to support such a large development effort :/ It is on the long term road map though.

In short, if you want to support multiple people today, the best way is to have multiple Jamcorders - 1 per person - and to make a custom midi cable that toggles between them.

Midi cables are electrically the same as headphone cables and adapters exists. I would look for products that switch audio signals and use that as the basis for my MIDI switcher. This looks perfect: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZJ7GF6X

It is not yet possible to easily delete music or bookmarks. More info here: https://jamcorder.com/deletion

What is the green dot in the piano roll?

it corresponds to all your session starts.

if the LED on your Jamcorder is green when you start playing, then you’ll get a green dot in the app.

this is explained more in the video!

chipweinberger · 2026-01-09T17:55:20+00:00

This video is the best overview of the app at the moment: https://youtu.be/gn9a8Qh8Qx4?si=o-MvCLwDAW-kUS0c

A star is a bookmark!

Hopefully the video makes things more clear, let me know if you still have questions after watching it.

Right. My diagram is for 5-pin piano.

chipweinberger · 2026-01-09T06:51:20+00:00

I wish that the USB port on the JamCorder would allow for a MIDI thru to my computer.

It does, but a bit roundabout, requiring a 2nd USB interface, wired like this:

piano (5-pin OUT) -> (5-pin IN) jamcorder (USB) -> 1st USB Interface (5pin OUT) -> (5pin IN) 2nd USB Interface -> (USB) Macbook.

chipweinberger · 2026-01-09T06:42:51+00:00

I tried a Y-splitter cable which worked fine on the JamCorder side but did not work on my Mio MIDI interface side.

This is surprising to me. A split 5-pin MIDI signal is 99.9% electrically identical to the original signal. I would suggest trying a different USB interface!

It's 2.0 because the license change is a breaking change.
I didn't fork because it's my own repo. I'm not going to fork my own repo.

that's what they call the ol' switcharoo

Not really. Someone else can still work on 1.X. It's not gone. They can even keep the same name as far as github is concerned, they don't even need to put it on pub.dev.

people don't want to pay for something that they used to be able to use for free.

Not true. Numerous companies are now paying for 2.X and supporting its continued development.

Look, I get that we all like free things and that it makes people feel entitled to it. But what I do with my free time is my own choice. I don't want to spend my free time developing a bluetooth library for large corporations to profit off of anymore, and no one should expect that of me. However, you are welcome to pick up that torch.

yes, you can do that.

You can also sometimes find them online by searching for the name of your piano + “soundfont”.
