AC-X Mini for Android

My Android Pro has a Bluetooth keyboard and a Bluetooth trackball and they work great...but it needs Bluetooth LE in order to use this remote app. I’m sure it’s a great app if it only worked on my computer. It’s useless to me...I would love to get my money back :(

I’m pairing an Android 6s+ with my VS-700 console and am able to use my phone as a console remote. Midi interface is iConnectMIDI 4+. Little bit of tweaking but the stuff just works! Nice job!!

I'm using this with Reaper, Windows 10 on a Toshiba Satellite C655. Took a few hours to get the hang of the install process on both my Android and PC. Works killer over wifi. Faders are smooth and buttons function nicely. I'll be using this live and I'm comfortable only after a few hours of playing with it. My only suggestion is to add track names in the full fader view. Other than that, it's killer.

For $3.99, this is a great little tool. After figuring out how to get this connected and set up in Reaper, I am LOVING this app. I am on an Android 10.10.4 / Android 5 iOS 8 Here’s how I got it set up on Bluetooth: 1: On the Android, make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Open Audio MIDI Setup. Go to the MIDI Studio window. Double click Bluetooth. Click “Advertise.” 2. On the Android, make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Open AC-X Mini. Swipe left in the display area under the buttons until you find the "BT SETUP" button, and tap the button. Activate “Advertise MIDI Service.” 3. On the Android, click “Connect” once you see your phone show up. 4. On the Android, open Reaper. Go to Preferences > Control Surfaces and click “Add.” The control surface mode should be Mackie Control Universal. Select whatever your Bluetooth option is, for both MIDI input and MIDI output. Click okay. 5. Start making music. The Good: This is a pretty straightforward app. In portrait orientation, you can control one channel at a time, control mute/solo/select/record-arm, write automation with touch and latch modes, control the transport, etc. In landscape orientation, you get 8 faders plus the master fader. You get the names of the channels you’re controlling in a scribble-style bar across the top. The bad: When you switch to Landscape mode, sometimes it doesn’t get the track names. Not once have I ever messed with the master fader in a project, so I wish I could leave it out and get some more room for something else. In Landscape mode, you can’t swipe left and right to get to different banks of faders. You have to switch back to portrait mode to switch banks. You also can’t swipe in the track names panel in portrait mode. It would be awesome to be able to swipe to change banks of faders. It would be awesome to be able to control plugins from this app, too. But that’s the difference between a $4 app and a $1000 MCU unit. I’m still very pleased with this app.

After finally getting it connected, every time I would try to scrub, it would automatically insert a random loop section and auto punch section. Terrible app. A waste of money. Super sad.
