1. MIDIAngloXL doesn't produce any sound on its own, it is for playing hardware or software VST-style MIDI synthesizers via CoreMIDI hardware interfaces connected to the dock connector or virtual MIDI instruments running on your iPad such as my Celtic Sounds app, SampleTank by IK Multimedia or Sonosaurus ThumbJam.
2. Use the "MIDI Port" switch to choose between "Omni" sending MIDI data to all CoreMIDI apps or "Virtual Port" sending to a named CoreMIDI virtual output port.
3. When the "Virtual Port option is selected, MIDIAngloXL will show up as an input option in apps that support virtual ports like Sonosaurus ThumbJam.
4. The Anglo concertina is bisonoric, meaning the instrument plays a different note for each button depending on whether you are pushing or pulling on the bellows.
5. In the app, to play, simply tip the iPad to the left for a bellows push note, or to the right for a bellows pull note, and press a button.
6. Touch the "Cal" button to the right of the tilt sensitivity slider to reset the home position for bellows tilting.
7. The lower the tilt sensitivity, the farther from center you need to tilt the iPad to change bellows direction.
8. You may select the volume, MIDI channel, attack velocity, and semitone transposition (+/- 12), as well as set the push/pull tilt sensitivity.
9. Touch the MIDI connector icon to show the MIDI controls.
10. Touch the '?' icon to show the note names for each button.
11. MIDIAngloXL is a 30-button Anglo Concertina MIDI control surface.
