MIDI Designer Pro X for Positive User Reviews
✓ The bestFor me, It’s the best midi controller you can find on iOS. You can download a lot of layout at the forum..Version: 2.181
✓ One of the best midi controller apps!If you need a midi controller app, this is the one to get. Constant updates by the developer that really cares. Highly recommended!.Version: 2.9.0
✓ The dreamIf you are a musician and you own an iPad, there is ZERO reason for you to be passing up on Midi Designer. Think about it…the cheapest MIDI controller you can buy will be at least $150 and a one trick pony. This can be everything you need it to be in one device. I honestly can't imagine working without it at this point. I had a couple issues setting it up initially but the developer got back to me within 15 minutes and the solution was minor (and not MD related). DON'T THINK TWICE!.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Greatest MIDI app.I've been searching for long time to find MIDI controler for iPad to manage my music gears (LINE6 PODHD500, DT50, TC Electronic NOVA System, Roland GR55, etc). MIDI Designer is THE tool I was looking for. Designing layouts is so easy, It takes only minutes to build basic controls. Only limitation is your imagination. MIDI Designer support is 5 star. Conceptors are open to new idea, making sure MD will evolve and be there for many years to come. New MDP2 version is amazing. Many enhancements that MIDI users will surely appreciate like PICKER control that allows users to create complex layouts with few controls..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Great App for Solving your midi problemsThis app is a beast. I initially had a few issues, but was quickly contacted by the developer who solved my issues. This thing is a power house for midi solutions and I actually really enjoy nerving out on the set up..Version: 2.121
✓ Great App...but some limitations.This has been by far the most capable MIDI controller program app I have tried. I'm using it to manage my guitar pedal board. This isn't for anyone who doesn't have a basic understanding of MIDI, however it allows for the novice to do some simple MIDI controls. My only complaint is the not with regards to function, but design elements. I would like a more robust graphics platform to apply controls to. Some more control elements like pick lists, multiple labels for the same CC control, external device feedback via MIDI in and maybe some custom mapping templates for well know software. Other than that, this has been a great app that has made my life much, much easier. I highly recommend trying it out..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Incredibly helpful tool.Midi Designer Pro 2 has helped me control an older Wavedrum that required sysex to have access to all of its parameters. My desktop daw couldn’t send sysex. No problem now. MDP2 can convert any MIDI information. This was crucial to what I do and I am very grateful this app exists..Version: 2.100
✓ Fantastic Midi App !This app is fantastic .Im able to control all 64 users performances/patches on my Roland XR using my Ipad mini I'd be lost without it now and what excellent value for money Buying any hardware to do the same job would have cost me at least 12 times as much..There's stacks you do with this app 5 Stars !.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Amazing functionality and supportI contacted this app's support forum after having some initial connectivity problems (they turned out to be cable-related had nothing to do with the app) and Dan Rosenstark was lightning-fast, attentive and utterly thorough in his troubleshooting assistance. Now thanks to his help and to a MIDI Designer power user's custom layout, I'm able to customize patches on my Roland JX-3P (w/ Kiwitechnics upgrade) to a ridiculous degree. Tremendous value for a sub-$20 app!.Version: 1.5.0
✓ A Great Solution!!This is a powerful and intuitive app that delivers everything it says it will. I got it after looking for ways to control 3rd party plug ins in a sequencer for guitar in live performance situations. I needed power and flexibility in a controller that wasnt keyboard based and would play nicely with other hardware. There is a learning curve but that reflects the depth of features. The simple stuff is pretty straight forward to get going. The tutorial resources are good and the service response from the company is excellent. I had a question and the owner emailed me back in under an hour. This app will do everything except walk the dog. Cheers!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ FANTASTIC!This app is outstanding in the way it is thought out and packs a punch of flexibility in its delivery along with its unbelievable price! It's very detailed in its design (your design really) and its configurability with every button, switch, fader etc. One of the things that attracted me to it is the ability to design your own control service without the need to design it first on your Mac and then upload it onto your iPad. You could technically do it on the fly at a gig if needed. The ability to have full or split pages and being able to lock or move pages is really great! I can't wait to see what this developer is going to come up with next!.Version: 1.3.7
✓ KILLER!!!!!!!!Total show control. Multiple apps, multiple iPads, video output, the best $40 ever spent. DESTROYS Lemur, and unlike Lemur,these guys are constantly improving it..Version: 2.170
✓ Don’t underestimate this!!!!!This app is amazing, I keep trying different hardware midi controllers, and they never quite do what I want - this just gets better and better the more I dig in to its possibilities. I use this on an iPad Pro 12” in split screen mode. I love rocking up at a venue, with just my ipad pro, using their master keyboard - all my sounds and how I access them all on the ipad, all controlled from the LH part of my screen - MIDI DESIGNER PRO2 - love it!.Version: 2.9.2
✓ It’s greatIt’s a mystery to me why, with apps available like this, synths like the Alpha Juno are selling for almost 1/10th the price of e.g. the Juno-106..Version: 2.112
✓ Controller for "Show Cue Systems"I use this app to control a program called show cue system. It runs my bands backing tracks and midi files responsible for operating my lighting rig, guitar and keyboard rig as well as a few other automated systems. This app does what it says, very easy to grasp and to operate. My only wish is that there were an option to 'scroll' through a list of text. For example, I have 90+ songs to trigger, it would be great if I could create a text list, assign each text object a program change and the scroll through the list. Right now I have to change pages or banks within the program to access all the song/text items. Worth the money though for its customization..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Dude....This is the greatest thing ever Side note The "one big page" setting doesn't work it just mirrors everything you create :( I want one big page!.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Excellent app. Works well and fairly priced. Give it a try!Title says it all.Version: 1.5.7
✓ Made my rig more liveI’m using this to control an assortment of hardware & software (iPad) synths & Nord Electro for my live rig. A bit of a learning curve but well worth the effort! iPad rules all now - with AUM and MidiFire Stream Byter in-between..Version: 2.3200
✓ Best app for Virtual OrgansMidiDesigner Pro is the best midi controller app for Virtual Organs such as Hauptwerk (HW) and GrandOrgue (GO). Its capabilities are far better than traditional organ controller interfaces such as Touchscreen Monitors, Launchpad, Touch OSC, Luna Display, etc. Coupled with Stream Byter it allows many enhanced functions not possible with HW or GO by themselves. While there is a bit of learning curve, it is worth it. I have developed such layouts as custom button placement, master generals and Combo steppers with PreSet starting steps to allow one touch selection and Up/Down sequencing of steps, Automatic registration setting, etc, None of this functionality would be possible without MidiDesigner Pro. I have worked with several organists to develop layouts for different organs who are extremely happy with using MDP. I have strong recommendations for organists to try it out..Version: 2.190
✓ Does what it says and amazingly wellFirst of all, some may be wondering if the price of this app is justified and to that I will give a resounding YES. Why? Because it replaces costly hardware. Since I bought this app I actually sold my UC-33 because I simply don't need it. Not only that, having this on my iphone and iPad gives me the ability to have a huge number of configurations that would be impossible with hardware. I am currently using this using midi over wifi on an ad hoc network and the delay is pretty much nonexistent (around 5ms tops). It works just as fast as hardware and is obviously more flexible. The only thing I would like to see are some more visual customizations of buttons and controls. The buttons are rather plain but definitely functional. I also love the floating display of values as you turn knobs or drag sliders. Ingenious!.Version: 1.5.0
✓ Simply amazingExtremely easy to set up, map, and customize. I can't believe this app exists. I got it hooked up and working with ableton in less than 5 mins after downloading. Currently using over a wifi connection, but the option to do a hard wire connection as well is fantastic. Thank you guys for creating an app that works so smoothly!.Version: 1.3.8
✓ Amazing!MIDI Designer is what made me buy an iPad, and I am so glad I did. This is such an incredibly versatile app. If you put in the effort to learn a few MIDI skills then there are limitless possibilities. If you are just happy to use available layouts then there are lots out there. If you need help there is a very responsive community ready to assist - and the devoured is very active in this regard too. I can honestly say that this app has made an enormous difference to my ability to control my live performance rig. Highly recommended!.Version: 2.150
✓ Best MIDI controller for iOSThere are other MIDI control apps for iOS, but nothing comes close to the level of control and customization MIDI Control Pro allows. From simple SoftSynth tweaking to a massive live or studio rig to in-depth DAW control; whatever you can imagine, you can create. Keyboardists, guitarists with MIDI rigs, drummers with triggers, playback engineers; no matter what your role is, if you use digital gear, this app will help you use it better, faster, and more creatively. It has a level of depth and sophistication that rivals— or even surpasses— anything you would find on a desktop platform or hardware controller. Version 2 ups the ante by adding some useful new features for cloud sharing and design, as well as two-way DAW communication. The only possible downside is that it is a RAM and energy intensive app, so users of older iOS devices may need to be extra judicious in closing unused apps and keeping your battery charged. This is definitely the app you want if you are serious about taking deep control of your gear..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Very powerful, got the job done but hideous and not easy to useVery powerful, got the job done but hideous and not easy to use.Version: 2.3300
✓ FlexibleI've been using this for a few months and once you get familiar with its terminology , how things link up , it's very powerful . I still have a lot to figure out but have made some very useful controllers Also quick response and feedback on the community forum and nice range of tutorials available too. A good option if you are looking to make a controller..Version: 2.9.1
✓ Steep learning curve, but extremely versatile.It really isn’t difficult once you understand it, but the interface definitely takes some getting used to. Once you do, you’ll be able to whip up a custom control set in no time. I’ve barely scratched the surface so far. My semi modular synth only had a couple of assignable parameters, but there are over a dozen different options for one of the outputs on the patch bay that is buried deep in a menu (on a synth with no screen). I quickly figured out how to make a grid of buttons to send out the program change signal for each one. Now I can change the parameter instantly without having to even open the menu. The app is definitely function over form, but gives you the tools to quickly design and program a MIDI control surface for your hardware and software synths, and any other conceivable use for it. Not to mention the integration with a MIDI-based scripting language. The possibilities really do seem endless. I do hope the interface is easier to navigate in future updates. It is very difficult to make things look nice, and feels like the interface works against you. However, the devs are still active and frequently updating. I can imagine they have plans to streamline everything once they have most of the functionality set and major bugs squashed..Version: 10.0.5
✓ Very useful appI’ve been using MIDI Designer weekly for nearly 8 years to remotely control Ableton scene launching and a few Max4Live devices. It has been one of the most versatile and reliable components of my workflow..Version: 2.3200
✓ Midi control at its bestThis amazing app has replaced my hardware midi controllers and at a fraction of the price. The software is easy to use and is full of features. The support from the developer has been exceptional. There's no other app in its class, simply fantastic. Keep up the good work and look forward to new features..Version: 1.3
✓ Best controller"I use this with Reaper and it has been brilliant! Great App. Of the controllers I have tried this is the best. Best $20 I have spent on any app!.Version: 1.4.3
✓ PeterI have found Midi Designer Pro to be a comprehensive and powerful app for those who want to get the most from their midi systems. Highly recommended..Version: 1.7.0
✓ First Class App!A very intuitive app with a great look and feel. Once I got my layout setup as a synth controller, it has saved me quite a bit of time. Otherwise I would still be struggling through various submenus on a small synth screen. Thanks guys. Looking forward to any upcoming features. Highly recommended..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Great for key commandsUsing MIDI Designer Pro I built an interface with literally hundreds of controls that operate all the Logic key commands that I commonly use. It really helps my workflow. I also included faders for recording control data to control my third party plugins. I love it..Version: 2.3113
✓ Perfect app for all my MIDI needsThis app can do so much, I use it to control all my guitar pedals with an iPad. There are a host of things I can do with MIDI Designer and the iPad that I cannot do with foot pedal midi controller. There is an active community for the app and a forum where you can download other users creations, which saved me a ton of time as well! I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of what I can do with MIDI Designer. Excellent product!!!.Version: 2.96.0
✓ Excellent major updateI'm so glad I jumped on MIDI Designer Pro in its infancy a few years ago. There were perhaps a half-dozen products competing in the virtual / MIDI control space, and in my experience this one is the most polished and actively developed of all of them. Speaking of which, the developer has been very responsive to my feedback regarding tweaks; by all means accept his invitation to contact him if you ever need to report a bug or want to request some cool new feature. Thank you for supporting us long-term users with regular updates and an active online community for sharing knowledge and templates. Class act all the way..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Buy itA little expensive but it works so great. I am using it on ableton. Very satisfied. Try lite to see what you can do..Version: 1.3.9
✓ I love this AppSuper flexible and customizable , solid connection, easy and intuitive to design and use..Version: 2.3300
✓ Love it!Professional and sensible especially if you use MIDI a lot. One problem that took me a long time to figure out is Apples MIDI network has a bug with IPv6 so you have to shut it off in Terminal..Version: 2.96.0
✓ Amazing App! Amazing Support!Exactly what I was looking for! So far I've been able to create drum pads, plugin controllers for my DAW, and an Axe Fx Ultra amp tweaker. I had a question about sending Sysex messages in 4 bit nibbles and Dan got back to me immediately. He was able to offer a quick solution and was super patient with me while working through my issue. I wish all app providers had such amazing and responsive support!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ The best midi controllerThis is such a great app and the developer is still very involved. I'm impressed with how I got a response within hours of asking a question on a Sunday. Just buy this app already!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Powerful program and very responsive support.There was only one thing I thought I couldn't achieve with MIDI Designer. It turns out I was wrong! The support was super responsive and helped me achieve *everything* I wanted Midi designer to do for me. I now have a MIDI Footswitch pedal that I don't need to reprogram everytime I try a new experiment - all I do now is reconfigure Midi designer, which is miles easier to configure then my complicated pedal! Powerful program and very responsive support. Fully recommend it to anyone having the MIDI control probs and configuration issues I was previously having..Version: 2.3320
✓ Awesome App for Midi controlI brought this on the strength of the few reviews it has, and I am not disappointed. I went straight in for the full version, as I wanted to do some tricky stuff. As a keyboard player in a live band, I also control the lighting, and although I have it bound to keyboard zones, its not always easy to remember where I left them . .. enter Midi Designer . plug in a Line 6 Midi Mobilizer and away we go. I've managed to build a set of screens, which are capable of controlling my master setting on my yamaha XS, and the lights on my Elation Magic 260, it looks great, I can add buttons in for more settings, and the best thing of all, I can see what each one does now, thanks to the labelling. up to 6 banks of 6 pages, split left and right, with each side capable of showing all 36 pages, very handy for dragging your designs around, different coloured buttons, control knobs and sliders and even x/y controls, all through touch, and all nicely titled and visible. Go straight for the full version - its well worth the money.Version: 1.4.0.1
✓ The best of what’s out thereRobust, customizable, advanced and very easy to use. Highly recommend it.Version: 2.3200
✓ Fabulous!Very versatile product, and I am finding new uses for it every day! The developer obviously put some thought into this, and is listening to working musicians as every update makes it even better!.Version: 1.3.8
✓ Minecraft for MIDIMIDI Designer Pro is addictive and hands down the best MIDI controller app for the iPad. The flexibility, depth and customer support for MIDI Designer Pro is unmatched. I've been working with it for several weeks making layouts for my gear and each time I try something I find that the team at that created MIDI Designer was way ahead of me with tools that made what wanted possible. All the power available in MIDI Designer Pro can make your head spin, but on the surface it is still very easy to use. The applications and potential for this app are unmatched. If you can imagine it, you can build it with MIDI Designer Pro..Version: 1.5.7
✓ Holy grail for iOS midi mapping hardwareIf you need to do any remotely sophisticated midi mapping, with Traktor /M4L / BomesMT levels of depth for LED feedback etc, then this app can do it..... I didn't believe it at first because this side of mididesigner is not shouted about, but the 'pedalboards' feature allows you to setup LED feedback for banking, radio button groups etc.... Basically a control brain for all your midi controllers plugged into the ipad. Totally indispensable......Version: 1.5.5
✓ AmazingThis app is great. Worked perfectly with ableton live on MacBook. Easy set up. A little pricey, but worth it for me..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Just AmazingI use this app for my live shows. I control Ableton Live and I can do anything I have in mind. This is the best app I’ve found for controlling MIDI Devices..Version: 2.3320
✓ So much better than hardware!!!Believe the hype, once you use this you will never go back. So much better and more flexible than any hardware controller. I have configured this to run Serum, Battery 4 and a bunch of other synths within Ableton, each with their own dedicated page in Midi Designer. You just can't get a hardware controller that flexible and adaptable. ***GET THIS APP!!!***.Version: 2.9.5
✓ Controlling Roland Integra 7 B3 organ drawbars…So far so good! Used it to send sysex midi commands to control the organ drawbars, Leslie, etc. on the Integra 7 and it’s been working well. I still have more to investigate regarding other uses..Version: 2.3112
✓ Mididesigner ( how did I manage without this ! )I've been looking for a piece of software to double up as a set list AND a program change device for my ( at least 2 ) keyboards in a live environment. This works brilliantly and makes it so, so easy when changing programs ready for the next song. My iPad or iPhone is connected to an irig midi 2 and the midi out from that plugs into the midi in of a midi thru box. The midi thru outs are then connected to the midi ins of whatever keyboards I'm using. JOB DONE ! I've programmed the mididesigner with mainly sys-ex codes so my keyboards sound exactly as I want them when required. I can't praise "Mididesigner" enough as it is a truly fantastic piece of kit, of course I only require it to switch programs etc but it will do much much more. Congratulations to all associated with this fabulous software program..Version: 2.5.3
✓ Awesome MIDI controller!MIDI Designer Pro and an iPad make one of the best custom controller combos I have used ~ and I have used quite a few over the years! The interface is very easy to learn, an incredible array of control combinations is possible, and the designer (Dan) is VERY helpful, and quick to implement new ideas and updates. This is the perfect controller for addressing those "under the hood" settings found on software and modern hardware synths from Moog and others. Highly recommended!.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Best of the RestFOREVER.Version: 2.3330
✓ Excellent app & 1st rate supportI was looking for a tool to allow for remote control of my Tascam 2488 mixed/HDR. I use it in small live venues to mix audio for my wife's band but it's often difficult to get space to do this in the best listening position so the ability to remotely adjust faders etc via the iPad was called for. The mixer supports midi control but has a unique format requiring a custom solution. Using a combination of a portable wifi link and midi interface via a laptop running RTPMidi, Midi Designer was a great match for what I needed and in the areas where additional functionality would help, Dan Rosenstark was quick to respond with advice. The app continues to surprise me with its capabilities, ease of implementation and flexibility. Absolutely worth the price and can provide a robust custom controller solution for pretty much any midi application. There are several remote controller mixers on the market now, but Midi Designer allowed me to use a piece of gear I already had in a new way. excellent app!.Version: 1.5.0
✓ Complete MIDI solutionIs your board trapped behind a small, illegible screen? Does it speak Midi. If so, set it free with Midi Designer Pro 2. A powerful tool, that starts simple, but grows in capability as you learn, backed by an active developer and user community. Pull out the controls you need, arrange them to match your workflow, and sometimes find undocumented capability in your board. I have built several layouts in the last several years, and MDP2 just keeps getting better. Two things that are hard to buy - the responsive support and engaged user community..Version: 2.3200
✓ Love ItI have written an interface for most of my gear with this app. This is the best midi interface app on the i-store, period. I recently dumped all the others off my ipad because they were just sitting there taking up space. I use it as a remote for my DAW, MKS20, Triton and GR55. I use an ipad 2 in an idock 2 and it works every time. I use midi ox to capture sysex on a pc and copy/paste onto a document adding some notes, print and then get busy having fun with it. Coolness!.Version: 2.9.1
✓ The KingThis is the only way I have ever successfully set up sysex panels to open up the functionality of my Roland synths and guitar multi-fx. There's a learning curve, and some aspects of the design process that feel a bit labour intensive, but it's all so worth it once you have a working panel. I'm really grateful to the devs who gave such worthwhile attention to sysex functionality, even allowing some feedback to the controls. Highly reccommended..Version: 2.3310
✓ Big ups to the developers!Loving the snap-to-value-over-time and accelerometer functionality. Plus the incredible support behind the app. Huge value for the money—punches way above its weight..Version: 10.2.3
✓ Big creative problem solverI was really frustrated that one of my favorite Moog synthesizers had no iPad app for deeper controls and, even simply easily knowing which preset I was on. iOS is mainly where I do my midi sequencing, synth patch editing. So it was annoying to have to unplug the iPad rig and hook up a computer. A few hours of setup (and a good bit of that was me wanting it to be cosmetically matching the synth) and I have a fully functional ‘app’ to control stuff with. If you understand midi, I dont think it is a bad learning curve. Only thing I had to hunt online for guidance for was more advanced, changing the midi channel of the whole panel with one button. Found a dev tutorial easy though..Version: 2.100
✓ Great app!Seriously guys, if you’re trying to work thru a complicated midi issue then this is the app for you. And the staff is superb. They have helped me work thru some weird things and I’m just thrilled to have these people behind this product. I’ve used the community layouts too and adapted them to my liking. Just awesome!.Version: 2.97.0
✓ Midi Designer ProThis is great looking software that above all is really easy to use. After very little practice Ive designed layouts to remotely control a DAW (Reaper) and a Roland Sound Canvas. I'm amazed at the results obtained and how fast it is. A very well thought out app..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Best Midi application in the App StoreThis app is so incredible. It is a true shame that Apple continues to dwarf or limit hardware. Apps like this one open and empower that hardware again!.Version: 10.0.3
✓ UniqueUnique, powerful, useful, wonderful..Version: 2.4.6
✓ The best featured MIDI Controller for EurorackI spent most of the last 5 days building a touch controller for my Eurorack. I started with OSC but stopped using that when I discovered it doesn’t do 14 bit CC, SysEx or anything than basic messages. I looked at a few others but these again had limited implementation. I found MidiDesigner and it has almost everything I need! It does Regular cc, 14 bit cc, nrpn, sysex, midi transport. When I finished doing the basics I wanted one button to send a mute to the others, it has that! And it has presets! This is great on Eurorack, I can setup my CV modulators and save them, really lots of potential. I use my setup with an Expert Sleepers ES-9, the FH-1 and a couple of Disting MK4s. All editing is done on the iPad, it has CoreMidi and midi over Bluetooth LE..Version: 2.165
✓ Linchpin of my performance rigI'm more of a "bedroom producer" than performing artist, but in 2013 I was challenged to put together a live set in a short period of time. I needed a flexible, easily-configurable control interface that used MIDI or OSC to control my DAW. I looked at several options and chose MIDI Designer Pro for its ease-of-use and powerful flexibility. I could quickly prototype and refine all the controls I needed, all on my iPad. (Other apps required a separate desktop application to design & configure their controls.) As I rehearsed, further adjustments could be easily made without breaking my stride. I simply could not have pulled together that performance without this app! I have been a loyal and satisfied user of MIDI Designer Pro ever since. The team's constant work to improve and enhance this indispensable app further builds my confidence in its longevity as my go-to tool for setting up performance configurations. They keep making it better, and have built up a great community of users who help and support each other. If I can't figure out how to achieve something, either the developers or fellow users are there with the answers. MIDI Designer Pro is worth every penny to me!.Version: 2.4.5
✓ Amazingly versatile controllerGotta say, made this app running on my iPad mini the absolute centerpiece of my entire elaborate rig--and I couldn't be happier. When I use an "ad hoc" connection to my Mac mini, performance is ROCK solid. Amazing. Thanks a ton!.Version: 10.0.5
✓ THE ipad remote control app that works!Well, it does for me. I have designed a layout for Fender Cyber Twin and am currently building some layouts for Lexicon PCM 80/81. I started my ipad remote control journey with Touch OSC. Midi Designer Pro 2 is just plain more powerful. Originally, I found MDP2 graphics not to my liking. I was used to the more plain TouchOSC gfx. Nevermind how it looks, though, MDP2 can do things well beyond TouchOSC. Supercontrollers being one of many assets TouchOSC doesn't have. The big difference for designing a remote control layout is how a user creates it. With TouchOSC a computer program is required to design and then upload to tablet. To create a Midi Designer layout the design is all carried out directly on ipad/ iphone. I do prefer to design on a computer where values can be typed in and elements can be nudged. It can be very tedious designing directly on a tablet. I learned to "roll" my fingers rather than drag or swipe for fine control placement. That is pretty much my only negative. Connecting via bluetooth I found to be easy. Not so much for TouchOSC. With MDP2, a set up is easily achieved without a computer, which I love. The developer has also been incredibly helpful on their forum. Super nice comms with Dan :-) For my purposes I am using a huge number of variable SysEx messages and MDP2 has handled it beautifully so far. Midi Designer Pro 2 is a fantastic app in my opinion =-D.Version: 2.131
✓ Wow!I love this app! In a very short amount of time I am able to design my own custom remote controller screen for my studio. I like the colorful, easy to see graphics, and the many design options. BUT, By far, what I like most is the designer's instant response to my questions, and very helpful support with some early problems that I had. I am fairly new to iOS, and he helped me figure out that I was not turning apps off properly, and had way too many running in the background. New features seem to being added quickly as the app evolves, and small fixes and updates to support pages appear promptly after discovery. I am just getting started, but can already tell that I will be getting a lot of use from this one. BRAVO!.Version: 1.02.02
✓ Gets better all the time.The latest upgrade makes an already superb product even better. This product allows extensive creative control and customisation without being constrained by what sliders and switches the designer's THINK you need. It is very easy to set up and use, and has many more possibilities than meets the eye. The knobs and sliders are VERY smooth to operate, everything is so responsive and the product is an absolute pleasure to use. If you want to build your own controller, look no further..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Peavey AT200 Must-have!!!I have owned the AT200 guitar forever, but I never got this app. When you upgrade the software on the guitar, this app is almost mandatory. I thought I was good with Fret-control, but this app shows you all the options. Many features I missed using fret control. This app is worth the money if you want the most out of your guitars software upgrade. If you have the stock software on your AT200, you are REALLY missing the best part of this instrument. I only purchased the $99 Essential pack, but now I want to upgrade. This app comes with the AT200 template built-in, so once you download it, good to go! I prefer the Peavey over the Variax. If you upgraded your software, do yourself a favor and get this app!.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Very intuativeBrilliant dead easy to design stuff from scratch. Tried TB Midi Stuff which is good but crashes way too often. Also Touch OSC which is very difficult to setup. This is easy to delve into, only slight gripe wish the controls were a little less bright on the eyes apart from that a great controler..Version: 2.97.0
✓ Amazing 🤙🏻👏🏻I love it👏🏻easy to use is a most tool to have.Version: 10.2.1
✓ This is a fantastic tool!I bought this to build a midi layout to control my POD X3 Live. Using a midi cc chart provided by Line 6, I was able to set up touch controls for just about every function on the POD. I use an iRig midi controller on my iPad and it works great. This setup allows me to dial in and tweak sounds using the iPad instead of having to bend over and tap though difficult to read menus. Once I have a sound I like, I can either tap the save button on the POD twice, or once and then select a location. This has put some new life and interest in an older piece of gear for me. Dan has done a great job and seems to be continually adding new functions and features. Just get it, you won't be sorry! JP.Version: 1.5.7
✓ ExcellentUsing this to control my softsynths now, great having hands on control. Some really clever ideas in this too for combining different controls to make some great performance tools. Well worth the money..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Beautiful, flexible, and powerful MIDI design platformI actually bought TouchOSC and a few of the other MIDI design apps before looking at this one - scared off by the larger price tag. That was mistake, and one I am glad to have corrected by shifting all of my MIDI control needs to MIDI Designer Pro 2. There’s a pretty good wealth of community content available (a template for UNO Synth got me hooked), but if understand even basic MIDI principles, you’ll soon prefer to make your own controls. I created a template for my Roland TR-08 and was amazed how easy it was to put together and how everything just WORKED. There are even subtle touches, like how the drumpads or keys respond to velocity differently based on where you touch the pad. I’m mostly “function over form”, but there’s some great tools to help you make your projects look nicer if that interests you, as well. A lot of hardware synths have “hidden” features delegated to CC messages, or are simply difficult to execute on the face of the device. MIDI Designer Pro 2 allows you to reimagine both the programming and performance interface of your device - to set it up the way YOU want it. Support for Bluetooth LE MIDI connectivity is also appreciated. There’s some occasional stability/crash issues and I would like to see just a few more customization options for faders, knobs and pads. But this is an amazing app and really does not require you to be a MIDI expert to get going and create your own templates..Version: 2.96.0
✓ Midi ProX for Korg Volgas & LogicThis app is amazing and is organized exceptionally well. I purchased MIDI Designer Pro X for better control over Volca Beats/Bass and in order to tweak Logic Pro. I send all of my MIDI signals through my Mac which makes it a super easy process. As a beginner having the Korg layout as a starting point was ideal. Ive been loving playing with this in my studio, and I’m stoked to use it at an outdoor event next. I’m utilizing just the free version for now, but am excited to crack open the premium when I get to my next level.Version: 10.0.5
✓ ***** The best iPad interface for Strymon Pedals *****I purchased midi designer to operate my Strymon Pedals using my IPad Pro 2019 - and save my back trying to bend down to the pedals. All those Banks and Presets !! The Strymon layout provided worked PERFECTLY - after I used the midi log to discover that the layout used channel 4 for BIGSKY and channel 3 for TIMELINE. Just set the midi channels and appropriate midi settings on the pedals and Voila !! BRILLIANT!! 5 stars from me. Would have given it six stars if the NAMES of the Presets were displayed instead of just numbers and A B C..Version: 2.124
✓ Best MIDI Controller app?… I certainly think so. From creating simple a simple CC interface to using more complex sysex messages, this app has the easiest editing functions I’ve come across so far. It didn’t take me long to create my first editor using sysex strings (Roland FA-06 Supernatural Synth), it can read sysex parameter strings directly from your synth, which makes things much easier to understand. I tried the competitors similar apps and ended up ditching them. Hooked..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Just brilliant!I really don’t know how I survived without this in the studio for the 4 years I’ve been using an iPad to run it all. The internal designer is addictive once you get into it, and it will totally change your workflow when writing. I drive 80/90s synths and a racks of Eurorack (via midi converters etc) all together. I can create panels on the fly and it basically lets me perform any kind of control I need. Seriously...just buy it, for the price it’s a must have bit of kit for even the smallest midi studio. Note to the developer...you’re a total legend, I owe you a beer. (Used on an iPad Pro iOS 10, tested fine, no crashing).Version: 2.96.0
✓ Superb AppJust brilliant. An amazing user midi controller building set. Covers just about anything you could need to control your midi hardware or software. A medium learning curve but well worth the effort. Easy to get into with lots of set-ups from users available for you to download and use as a starting point for your own design..Version: 2.100
✓ The perfect midi controller!This midi controller has amazing scope in the way that you can not only customize your perfect midi rig, but you can control what you need, when you need it. You can create incredibly complex midi set ups and control them with a simple interface, or create a multi- page interface that gives you accurate control over everything. There is also a virtual pedal board option to extend the capabilities even further, but the power to control all your gear is worth the experience. From effect control to hardware and DAWs, this app allows for the most efficient control possible, you just have to design it the way you want it, every option is possible. This is the most impressive update so far, such incredible scope!.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Great With MainStage!Just what I needed to run sound at a live event - but not having to stay at the laptop! I also will not need to have my rig out in the room either, wow! Setting up the first connection had me scratching my head, but a quit and relaunch, and I haven't had an issue since. Really great programming job on this app. Everything is laid out very logically and is quick to design and assign MIDI signals to. It is great with MainStage because when you change patches you can have the new patch send it's settings to MIDI Designer and all the knobs on your IOS device moves to the patches default settings. I'm running this on my IPhone so the only issue is adjusting sliders precisely because of the limited size of the screen. So an iPad would be ideal. I have no complaints about this app. Great job guys!.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Super useful appI use this app to remotely control MIDI enabled guitar pedals and it’s perfect. Saves a lot of menu diving and fiddling with controls..Version: 10.0.6
✓ The more I learn...(Still Works) It appears Midi Designer has usurped the top position in Screen Time. After simply fiddling with the app for a few years, I can’t get enough of it. Making simple controllers for both hardware and software synths, they become mine in the sense of custom control and a breath of new life that inspires creativity..Version: 2.123
✓ THE midi controller app !I have bought and tried to use many, if not all of the midi controller apps out there, many of which are incredible in their own right but for me, difficult to actually implement and use creatively. However this incredible app is SO user friendly. The UI and workflow have been created to place minimum pressure and thought cycles on the user, allowing a creative musician to just DO the things they want to to without having to think too much, or too mechanically and allow for an intuitive process to aid your music making. I just can’t say enough good things about this app. Generally I would not use iOS apps in my performances on big stages as they are just not reliable enough, but I have used this for several years on stage and it’s never let me down yet. Worth every penny. Great works!.Version: 2.111
✓ Producer / ArtistI use UA Apollo quad and Ableton Live with 16 analog inputs to automate and mix a live show from stage. Midi Designer Pro has changed my entire production. Songs that require complex routings with special parameter settings can now be called up instantaneously with the press of one button! Musicians can use their iPhones to control their own monitor mixes and I can do a sound check out front of house with my iPad! Complete control of faders, EQ's, compressors, aux sends, effects…. an amazing tool. As others have commented, the support is second to none. Haven't been this pleased with a $18 purchase in my entire life..Version: 1.4.2
