MIDI Kinetics Forum

Hey guys,

I am not sure what is going on here. I didn't change anything but in the beginning this setup was working 100% correct and rock solid without any connection loss over hours or even days!

... but most recently my Samsung VIEW loses connection to the Laemur Daemon almost every 5 minutes! I really spent a LOT of time to get my current setup going and it is just driving me nuts, that once I got everything going and perfectly setup, the connections drops so often!

So please, if you got any help I would appreciate it! I tried so many things like rebooting the tablet, the router, the PC itself (Win 10), static IP, several router settings etc. .. but nothing works! I really want to keep that setup and got used to it, I don't wanna miss it anymore. I am really not sure what it is, also it seems like the WLAN doesn't drop in general, but just the Daemon loses the connection to the tablet!

THANK YOU!

Noticed the Samsung has a usb out, is it possible to use that instead of Wi fi to the PC?

Yes, but as long as the VIEW doesn't get the latest update it can't read MIDI via USB! :/

I was having similar problems using a Samsung Nexus 10. It was annoying enough that I suck it up and bought an iPad.

Not having any connection problems in iOS. But side note - Lemur currently does not function on iPad Pro 10.5” (works fine on the 12.9” though).

If you install a DIS driver (such as Horndis on MacOS, but it functions also under Windows), using a USB cable you can get a good OSC connection between the View and a computer. But I don't think it works for MIDI. Under Windows, you also need an app such as Tethering toggler (you install it on the Galaxy View).

I've recently been using a Galaxy View with a wired Ethernet adapter. I'm using the Plugable USB2-OTGE100 and it works fine with the GV. I set up the connection following this video and it's been rock solid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g69iVWxJZuQ

Hope this is helpful,
