    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. Show more

    Needs better templates and standardized menu structure
    The software has so much potential, but is held back by the cluttered and ugly templates provided with it. Please provide more streamlined button-only templates, provide blank templates, forget the awful color schemes, and follow standard apple app methodology for the menu structure. Templates shared between different iPad sizes don’t scale gracefully as they should. There is also no reason at all to restrict controls to one MIDI message type and make the max MIDI sequence length so short. I would rather use an app that has a simple grid of screen buttons with easy access to MIDI learning functions and that’s it. 90% of the rest of this app just gets in the way by trying to be everything to everyone.

    Best app for Virtual Organs
    MidiDesigner 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. Show more

    Freaking awesome AP!
    Midi Designer frees your board from the limitations of its built in displays and controls. Tired of working presets, eq, compressor, etc., on the micro LCD screen. Turn your iPad into a much larger interface and display. It lets you remix the controls in a way the manufacturer never envisioned. They gave you four sliders, you need eight. The functions you need in performance are scattered across eight pages? Bring them into one. Not guaranteed, but you might find capabilities that you did not know exist. There may be a pre-existing layout for your board in the library. To make most use of MD, you are going to learn some details of Midi. In the process, you will learn much about your board. And you have a very active developer, likely to respond rapidly to a comment or question. What other app do you own where that happens. Yes, I am biased, I love this app. Show more

    Love the Pedalboard feature!
    MidiDesigner is a snap to create in and an excellent way to unlock potential in my older hardware synths. The more I use MD, the more I’m discovering nifty workflow tricks. I do wish that we had more of a library of graphical user elements, but there is the ability to import custom graphics if needed. I love that it supports NRPN as well as SYSEX. And the pedalboard feature is great too, as it lets me tie my hardware controllers to MD, which then controls another physical synth. With MIDI learn, this basically converts a simple MIDI CC control surface or MIDI foot pedals into a customized hardware SYSEX controller. You no longer need rare, expensive antique devices or obscure, convoluted legacy software to get at the innards of old classic vintage gear. Just use the knobs and buttons on your current gear for immediate hands on remote control of whatever else you have connected via MIDI. You don’t even have to touch the iPad at this point, as it’s just functioning as a dynamic scribble strip while you twiddle physical knobs or step on pedals. The bonus is that MD works on older iPads too. My iOS 13 iPad Pro wirelessly talks to my used iPad2 still on iOS 7. What this means is one iPad is physically connected via USB to my Kronos (and therefore via MIDI to the rest of my rig), and I can meanwhile walk around with another iPad and continue sound designing as the Kronos plays itself and my rig via KARMA. No computers needed... long live MIDI! Dev support has been quick and helpful, and the MD user community has dozens of designs for download. I’m super grateful I found MD. Show more

    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. Show more

    Great App for Solving your midi problems
    This 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. Show more

    it’s great
    it’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.
