Wooveconnect 2 runs in your browser and transfers songs, samples, patches and firmware updates between your computer, tablet or phone and your Woovebox.

Setting up a MIDI connection

Wooveconnect supports uni-directional (pictured) as well as bi-directional communications.

Wooveconnect works on any browser that supports WebMIDI. This includes Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera and Firefox. Please note that Wooveconnect does not work on any browser that use Apple's Safari engine (most iOS browsers) due to Apple's refusal to implement WebMIDI support.

WebMIDI access needs to be allowed/enabled in your browser for connect.woovebox.com. A permissions dialog usually pops up the first time you launch Wooveconnect. If it does not, try refreshing the site with SHIFT+CTRL/CMD+R, resetting permissions (typically by clicking/tapping the settings icon next to the URL in the address bar, or by going into your browser's settings, finding site settings under privacy/security settings, and changing the relevant permissions for connect.woovebox.com).

If using wireless MIDI, Wooveconnect will attempt to automatically detect your Woovebox and attach to the right ports. To manually select the input and/or output ports, click on the bottom right and left buttons respectively.

Wooveconnect can work in send-only (using one MIDI output), receive-only (using one MIDI input) or mixed bi-directional modes (using a wireless or physical MIDI input, in conjunction with another wireless of physical MIDI output).

Once established, bi-directional connections on firmware 3157+, are automatically protected against by packet loss. This is signified by a shield icon next to the connected message. Furthermore, the port selection interface will disappear to make more room for other UI elements.

Using Wooveconnect once connected

Uploads are initiated by dragging and dropping .WAV, .AIFF or .SYX files into Wooveconnect. On devices with a touch screen, tapping the "connected" message will bring up a file dialog, allowing you to choose a file to upload.

Downloads (e.g. getting data from your Woovebox) such as .WAV mixes/stems, .MID files, .SYX backups of your songs, patches, etc. are initiated via the context menus on your Woovebox.

On landscape-rotated screens, additional device mirroring and automatic documentation lookup are available. On portrait-rotated screens, only the connection message and port selection interface is available. Therefore, if you are using a phone, you may wish to rotate it to landscape to avail of the increased information.

Stability vs speed

Once established, bi-directional connections on firmware 3157+, are automatically protected against by packet loss. This is signified by a shield icon next to the connected message. Furthermore, the port selection interface will disappear to make more room for other UI elements.

If you find bi-directional connections unstable when uploading data to your Woovebox, you can use the stability vs speed control to tradeoff throughput for stability.

And vice versa, if you have a very stable connection and wish to increase throughput, you may trade stability for increased speed.

If packet loss is detected on a bi-directional connection on firmware 3157+, this setting is automatically adjusted down in an attempt to enhance connection stability.
