Connecting iRig BlueBoard using MIDI over Bluetooth Modes

With the latest firmware update, the iRig BlueBoard is designed to now appear as a MIDI over Bluetooth compatible device on compatible devices (and in compatible apps). If you're not sure if you're up-to-date, and what the different modes do, check out the FAQ here. To enter a MIDI over Bluetooth Mode power on the iRig BlueBoard holding the "B" or "C" pads. These will enter MIDI over Bluetooth Mode 1 and Mode 2. To exit the MIDI over Bluetooth mode and use the iRig BlueBoard app, power on the device holding the "A" pad.

Once powered up in a MIDI over Bluetooth mode, try these steps to get connected.

For iOS devices:

• Download & launch a compatible MIDI over Bluetooth app, like MIDI Wrench

• Connect with the iRig BlueBoard using the MIDI Wrench (or the MIDI over Bluetooth app of preference) using this menu.

For macOS devices:

1. Open a Finder window
