File Sharing

Uploading Samples and Backgrounds

Here is how to upload your files to your Reactable Live!.

iOS
Android

Three types of files can be used in the application:

  • reactable patches (.rtp)
  • audio files, 44.1 kHz, 16 bits, stereo or mono (.wav)
  • image files (.png, .jpg, .bmp, .tga)

Important: sound files should be WAV files, best resolution is 16bit 44.1kHz

On iOS there are two options to exchange files with the Reactable Live! application:

Using iTunes File Sharing in iOS

Using iTunes File Sharing

  • Connect your device to your machine and start iTunes
  • In the left column of iTunes, select your device
  • In the main page of the device, select the "Apps" Tab
  • At the bottom of this page, after the list of applications, you will find a "File Sharing" section.
  • Select the Reactable application.
  • You can now drag and drop files from and to the Documents of your device

Using the built-in web server on iOS

Using the built-in web server

  • Make sure your device is connected to Internet and that the connection is active (for instance, check the weather).
  • From the configuration menu, go to the settings page. The first line lets you start the web server.
  • On your computer, connect to the url indicated on the settings page. It should look like "http://192.168.1.X:34748"
  • The web page lets you upload and download sound files and session files to or from the device.

Uploading loops on Android

  • Connect your device to your computer and open the sdcard
  • Look for the Samples folder inside com.reactable
  • Upload your loops there, you can create as many folders as you want to organize them
  • Once you are done be sure to safely remove the device from the computer and disconnect it from the android usb settings before starting the application again
