Showing the user options that don't work unless an in app purchase is made makes for a very poor use experience. Scolding the user until they purchase the IAP is just rude. Controls to configure widgets are highly inaccurate. Slider displays a certain value, as soon as the finger is lifted, the value changes to something else. The whole split screen thing confuses me. Certain widgets will span the divide and others won't. Show more

First and Foremost: The developer is a Class Act! Look at the reviews on down the line for this app. Nothing but kudos and rightfully so. I love this thing. I use it for pretty simple controller tasks and I am totally pleased with it! I have all the other ones...at the end of the day this thing turns out to be the only configurable midi controller I need. It just works without ANY hassle. Keep up the great work and a solid product! Show more

It is a good app but I didn’t use it recently. I know there are plenty of templates, however I would like to create few custom layouts for my hardware.In particular, I want to create a pick list to change patches of my two keyboards by importing patch names and corresponding msb/lsb. I would like to import them from a txt or csv file rather than type all the patches messages in MD. Thank you ! Show more

I 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!

I mostly use the Roland JD-990 layout ... I've had my 990 since it came out & it is my favourite hardware synth & I've kept it like brand new ... Thank you for letting me take my 990 to whole new levels & into modern times ? Now, I desperately need one for my fully expanded JV-2080 ... I'd pay ! This surface controller is the best I've used bar none & it's super deep ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ P.S. Love the new icon - but the head (face) should be a little bigger IMHO ... Keep up the great work ? How's that for a ridiculously positive review ? ? Show more

Dan has created a very effective "midi programming environment" that lets you tackle even the most demanding control jobs. It's a logical super machine!

Simply the best! Very flexible. Awesome customer support. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for - A dream come true midi controller. Keep up good work!

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! Show more

This is the best midi controller app in the store. Extremely flexible. All they need now is to add a sequencer. :)

This app can probably do everything, but $15 only gets you in the door. You have to pay for other features, most importantly cloud backups. The UI feels like a six-year old iPhone app and the menus are super slow to navigate. Really disappointed trying to use this. The features are so robust, but the experience is maddening. Show more

Simple and powerful. Wish everything on earth managed that combo as well!

I'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! Show more

I can throw away most of my midi controllers now :) The design mode UX would need some re-design love but much better than using lemur two piece solution; you need computer to design a layout for lemur. The MD is Extremely versatile and powerful. Show more

If you use a MIDI-capable device or software (synth or DAW) live or in the studio, this app is definitely one you should consider. My primary use for MIDI Designer is for controlling Ableton Live in rehearsals and Sunday morning worship services. When leading from guitar, rather than keyboard, it also provides the link, via the pedal board feature, to be able to control Ableton hands-free from an older MIDI-capable fx processor. For our purposes, it is invaluable to have the ability to create a customized MIDI controller. MIDI Designer does just that, and it does it well and has been very reliable. One of our guitarists uses MIDI Designer to control his ElevenRack rig as well. At home I use it for remotely operating software and keyboards. Show more

There 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. Show more

This app has changed how I control my gear!!!

I have an iPad 4th generation. It can do everything I want it to, except run this app?? What is so performance shattering in this new version that the iPad that ran the previous versions just fine is suddenly no longer able??? Its things like this that make me less inclined to pay for apps. You pay, and then the developer abandons you. I recommend anyone looking at this app to look at Lemur instead (it can still run on an iPad 1), for the same $ you wont be left behind. Show more

I'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. Show more

Really powerful custom midi controller. I used this to build a control surface for dmx lighting control and it works great!

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. Show more
