Connect BlueBoard to Dream Foot without BlueBoard app (using Bluetooth MIDI Mode 1/2)

Some apps allow the BlueBoard to connect directly using Bluetooth LE MIDI. For example:

https://onsongapp.com/docs/features/foot-pedals/supported/irig/blueboard/

Would be great if Dream Foot could connect directly to Bluetooth LE MIDI devices. This would benefit not only BlueBoard users. Saves the need for extra apps, and - in the case of the BlueBoard - would allow us to use the switches as momentary instead of latching. As of now the only way to do this (unless I'm mistaken) is using another app like midimittr. Hope to see this in an update!

Hello. I definitely agree on the requirement. Would be very nice to get this enhancement. Looking forward an update in the appstore !

Okay so after playing with this a bit more I was able to connect the BlueBoard to Dream Foot without a third app, with the BlueBoard in Bluetooth Mode 2 (sends CC). With the "MIDI INPUT BEHAVIOR" set to "Latch" I can play the notes when pressing the mapped button, and the note will stop when I release the button. The issue is that if I map the other controls, for example the far left button to go to the next song, it advances songs when I press down, and then another song when I release. Any thoughts? Would like to use without "SUSTAIN" on since there is no stop button as of now.

@Filipe Michael (CEO) Email sent with videos explaining. I guess if each MIDI mapping could be set to latch or momentary, this problem would be solved. Not sure how complicated that might be to implement though!

Hey @kevin_627 I received your email and videos. I will share it with our developers . We are currently implementing user accounts and a cloud system to store, share and download songs. We might have a new beta next week for those of you who signed up for our beta program.

@Filipe Michael Sounds good, the user account and cloud storage update sounds like an important next step. I'm happy to test and provide feedback on whatever updates are coming up.

Secretly though I'm more personally excited for the nitty-gritty practical updates that 1) make me comfortable enough to use the app in front of an audience, and 2) make it as easy as possible to use the app live without having to think too much.

I think you are doing an excellent job in supporting the app - I'm doing what I can to help people find out about Dream Foot so that the community can grow. Keep us updated!
