Which Midi parameter for IOS->Preferences->general->Accessibility->Switch control?

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Apple

Hi all.

Trying to assign a external midi switch as an IOS Switch control.(IOS->Preferences->general->Accessibility->Switch control)

info: https://www.imore.com/how-use-switch-control-iphone-and-ipad#new-switch

Noticing that, when using a bluetooth apple keyboard using keystrokes, the switch control works nicely.

when assigning a bluetooth midi controller button it recognizes the trigger but nothing happens when activating switch control.

Any ideas how to make this happen?

Cheers,

Ok NP, I realize it was a while ago, but I'm trying to do something similar.  

Do you still have the details of the conversions that you had to perform (i.e. the format of the Midi data/commands you sent to correctly trigger switch control)?

Thanks

First: I found the video back in my iCloud collection.

Here goes:

What I did with this controller: I assigned a midi note to the buttons and defined the note in the apple system preferences as a trigger. I think.
But that’s a long time ago

Realise this is an old thead, and sadly the videos no longer play, but did you have to use a MIDI to Keystroke Converter (eg  midiStroke) to get Guitar Wing to control items using Switch Control?
I can get Switch Control to assign an external bluetooth midi switch but like your first post nothing happens when activating switch control. What was the magic that that got this working ? :)

Good question! I uploaded a vid from my vault. I really have to get back into this but the need for using this old line 6 app is gone for me.
