Wear OS
Syntien 2 is now available on Wear OS! You can use Syntien on your Wear OS smartwatch to send OSC or BLE messages. We don't support MIDI on Wear OS devices yet, but we hope to add that in the future.
Creating Interfaces
Watches are too small to realistically create and customize interfaces on, but Syntien 2 allows you to create interfaces on your phone or tablet, then send them to your Wear OS device via local Wi-Fi. For best results, you'll want to create a small interface with only one or two controls per tab. Drag the edges of the canvas until you have a small-ish square, then add a few controls and arrange as you like.
Be sure to configure the appearance and behavior of your controls on your phone or tablet, because you won't be able to edit the controls on your watch.
Once you're happy with your interface, make sure your phone or tablet and your watch are on the same Wi-Fi network, then tap the
Wear OS Settings
The Wear OS version of Syntien 2 exposes a limited number of settings.
- Nickname - This is how your watch will appear when someone tries to share an interface with you.
- OSC - You can set the default OSC destination, including IP address, port, and protocol (UDP or TCP). Like phones and tablets, Wear OS can also receive OSC messages, and you are able to specify the incoming source OSC port as well.
- BLE - You can configure the default BLE destination. Syntien 2 on Wear OS doesn't support more nuanced settings, such as message framing.
- Mic - Enable your watch's microphone to allow the use of the Level Meter or Pitch Detector controls.
- Blackout - Enable this to dim the screen when an interface is open. This can be useful for dance or theatrical performances, or when you only need controls that use the device's sensors such as the IMU, Gesture, Level Meter, or Pitch Detector. To navigate back to the home screen while in blackout mode, tap and hold anywhere on the screen.
