Gumtown, some time ago I've tried to use android's java midi implementation but it didn't work with Katana. I had to use a different "driver" for this - the one used in other android app that connects to Katana on this forum. Here is some react native project that I started https://github.com/vit3k/katana_android

There is needed library and some code in java that can connect to Katana.

For those keeping score

There are several Katana Editor for Android projects

Katana Android Editor # 1  -  The original one was from a German user named Condor, and this worked with early Katana Firmware

Last known working version created by Condor is version 13 here

Katana Android Editor # 2  Around September 2018 - Nicko453 has been working with Condors source code and introduced a version 2.6 Katana Android Editor

QuoteNew update to KatanaEditor (V2.6)

I've attached a new version of KatanaEditor.

Change log:
Fixed a bug which prevented some patch files from loading
Improved exception handling
Made the app sensitive to device orientation (landscape and portrait)
Added the ability to delete patch files
Patches are now listed in alphabetical order

Known Issues:
I have seen some crashes when changing the orientation of the device (phone, tablet etc) whilst the app is running. Not sure why, and they are not common.
There may still be some issues loading patch files, especially ones created in the old version of the app. I think I have addressed all of these, but if you have a problem, let me know.
I have seen some patch files where the Reverb settings are all zeroed out - and consequently no sound from amp. Not sure why this happens. I will investigate further when I get time. In the meantime, it's best to check your Reverb params before you save a patch

New features being considered:
Ability to create sub folders and store patches within them - think patches grouped by sets for live performance.
Integration with Google Drive to allow patches to be imported/exported/synced more easily
Implement Amp/Cabinet EQ
Implement Delay2
Means of reading or unpacking *.tsl files (challenging !)

Devices Yet To Be Implemented:
Pitch Shifter,
Harmonist,
Humaniser,
Parametric EQ,
Guitar Sim,
Wave Synth,
AC Processor,
Phaser 90E,
Flanger 117E,

Your feedback on this is welcome. Let me know if/when you find bugs and I will do my best fix them ASAP.



And finally


Katana Android Editor # 3  Gumtown has also been working on his version of a Katana Android Editor

But so far this will not function - as the necessary MIDI I/O is currently non functional
