Import your custom MIDI files

 

To import an existing midi exercise, upload your midi file to the web or a cloud storage app like Google Drive, or compose it in a music notation app on your device. Then import it using the WarmUpp Share Extension.

An example of an exercise would be something like this:

You only have to input the exercise in one key (usually middle C), and WarmUpp will transpose it for you so you can warm up your voice through whatever range you need.

 

 

Step one: navigate to your midi file

 

on the web through chrome

Go to the web address of your midi file (e.g. http://www.example.com/my-file.mid). Tap “DOWNLOAD” and then “OPEN IN…”

On the web through Safari

Go to the web address of your midi file (e.g. http://www.example.com/my-file.mid). Tap the Share icon or “More…”

From cloud storage like Google Drive

Navigate to the file in the cloud storage app, find the “Share” icon and select that.

dropbox

Unlike other cloud storage apps, Dropbox generates a link when sharing files instead of sharing the file directly, so it’s not the best tool for importing your midi. But if you have to use Dropbox, take the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the midi file in the Dropbox app on your iOS device.

  2. Tap the three dots in the upper right hand corner, and tap “Export.”

  3. Instead of importing directly into WarmUpp (since Dropbox is giving us an URL instead of the midi file), tap the “Copy Link” action.

  4. Paste the copied URL into a web browser.

  5. When Dropbox says “Someone shared this with you,” tap the “Or continue to website” button.

  6. Tap “Download”, and then “Direct download” to proceed importing the midi from your browser.

 

From music notation apps

Make sure the music notation app allows exporting in MIDI format. Select the exercise piece you wish to import, and choose the corresponding option to export the MIDI format from the music notation app. That should bring up the Activity sheet with the WarmUpp share extension.

 

 

Step two: Turn on WarmUpp share extension

If you don’t see the WarmUpp share extension right away, scroll to the end and tap “More,” find the WarmUpp extension and turn it on.

Step three: Import file

Now the WarmUpp extension should be showing in the Share modal view. Tap the WarmUpp extension to import the file, type in a name for the exercise and tap “Post” to finish importing.

Open up the WarmUpp app, you should now see your exercise at the end of the list.
