๐ฑ On mobile
VJam runs on mobile too ๐ฑ But the controls and limits are pretty different from PC, so here's the mobile-specific stuff.
๐ It's all gestures
| What you want | Gesture |
|---|---|
| Stack a preset | tap ๐ |
| Next preset | swipe right ๐ |
| Kill (clear all) | swipe left ๐ |
| Change blend | swipe up โ๏ธ |
| Change filter | swipe down ๐ |
| Open / close Cockpit | pinch ๐ค (or close with the ร at the top right) |
| Cycle FAVs | long-press (right = next / left = previous) |
โ ๏ธ What you can't do on mobile
- PROJ (separate window output) = PC only. Mobile is a single screen (โ ๐บ Projector chapter)
- MIDI controller = PC-based (โ ๐น MIDI chapter)
- Keyboard shortcuts, obviously, are for PC (โ ๐ Reference chapter)
๐ Audio notes
- On mobile, sound / mic / playback may only kick in after your first tap ๐ tap the screen once before you begin ๐
- The mic reacts to more than music: voice, claps, and room noise all count ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ A quiet-place voice check is the easiest way to confirm it's working
- If you use the mic, allow the permission. If it's not reacting, reload and allow again
- iPhone / Safari is especially strict about audio, so keep that in mind
๐ Show notes
- Set the screen not to auto-off / sleep (sad if it dies mid-show)
- Heat and battery drain are high ๐ stay plugged in for long sets
- Turn off notifications (Do Not Disturb, etc.)
๐ก Where mobile fits
- Mobile is great for quick play / firing something up on the spot
- For building things up, external output, and clean recordings, PC is where it shines
- If you want to add VJam to your Home Screen, read the ๐ฒ PWA / App install chapter first. On iPhone / iPad, normal Safari mode is recommended
