Bome Network now available on iPhone and iPad

Bome Network on iPhone and iPad

Hi!

Our popular MIDI networking and routing tool is now available in the Apple App Store!

Wireless MIDI workflow without a Computer

Connect your iPad or iPhone to the BomeBox’ built-in WiFi: now all MIDI gear plugged into the BomeBox can be used with and from your mobile device.
Or access the BomeBox(es) via an existing WiFi hub using WiFi or Ethernet.

Simplicity with Security

From the ground up, we’ve designed Bome Network to be very simple to use. BomeBoxes and devices running Bome Network are auto-discovered and listed on the main screen in Bome Network. To create a MIDI pairing, simply click on Connect (simple!), then confirm the pairing on the other device (secure!).

Background Mode

Enable Background Mode in the app, and now you can freely switch to other MIDI apps on your iPhone/iPad and use all your virtual MIDI ports set up in Bome Network.
Note: Background Mode uses more battery, so it’s recommended to turn off background mode when you’re done using network MIDI.

Persistence

With Bome Network, you only need to set up pairings once and then they will stay! Re-establishing your stage setup is as simple as powering up all involved devices and you’re done.
Note: on iPhone and iPad, you need to manually start the Bome network app after a restart, because there is no auto-start functionality…

Remote Direct MIDI

Use any USB-MIDI and MIDI-DIN devices connected to the BomeBox on your mobile device. Each selected device appears as an own virtual MIDI IN/MIDI OUT pair which you can use in any MIDI-enabled iOS app.

Powerful Add-Ons

The iOS/iPadOS app has the same additional features as the desktop application for MacOS and Windows. The Bome Network Pro add-on (for purchase) allows for direct MIDI connections to other iPhones/iPads/computers running Bome Network. And the Unlimited Named MIDI Ports add-on lets you create additional virtual MIDI ports on the mobile device for use in the integrated MIDI router.

That’s all for today. Stay safe and healthy!
