Leave a Review MIDI Designer Pro X
Best Midi application in the App Store
This 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!Pastor Chelsey

Thanks for loving MIDI Designer!Sounds much better than it is
Don't buy this. Just don't. If you want to make your own layouts or do anything good at all you have to buy the extras pack, after spending $50 which is one of the highest app prices i've ever seen.
Oh yeah, and after I emailed support who said they would priovide me a promo code, they blocked my email adderss so i couldn't respond.Show lessTheFosil
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.Show lessGwilli06
Just Amazing
I 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.Mariela 08

We love live shows. Thanks so much for the kind words. Please get in touch via Config -> Actions -> Email Us if ever you want to share any of what you're doing. Could be some amazing synergy there.Over complicated
Nightmare to create midi streams from one button. I followed instructions and the drag into Supercontrols doesn’t work. No reply from support either.
UPDATE. Tried to get back into this but it is so unintuitive…constantly having to read the manual which is ok but takes a lot of time. Why do my tabs change sides and then have the same tab on both sides….nightmare.Show lessPzazstudio

Hi Pzazstudio and thanks for the candid review. First off, I'm very sorry we dropped your support query. We're looking through our backlog to see if we missed anything in the last 45 days. It's very rare but mistakes do happen occasionally. On the other hand, if you wouldn't mind hitting us up again via Config -> Actions -> Email Support OR just hit support [at] mididesigner.com, that would be appreciated. We take support and our customers (and potential customers) very seriously, which you can get a flavor for if you check out midiDesigner.com/qa. Regarding the "nightmare" of "creating MIDI streams from one button"... there are various ways to approach this, depending on what you mean. I'm looking forward to figuring out what the issue is and getting you sorted as soon as possible. Thanks again for trying out MD and for getting in touch. Best!

This 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.Show lessGavinEsler'sRevenge

super flexible and customizable , solid connection, easy and intuitive to design and use.Thommo 1
Having MIDI Designer Pro 2 available for Macs is a great enhancement of its capabilities.
For me, MIDI Designer Pro is a great app for both iPad and Apple Silicon Macs. I have been using it on my M1 Mac Mini for about a year. I find the larger size (I have a 27” monitor) extremely useful for designing layouts using a mouse rather than an Apple Pencil or my fingers on an iPad.
My retirement hobby is designing midi controllers for organists using Virtual Pipe Organ Apps such as Hauptwerk. Having both apps simultaneously active and displayed on one monitor simplifies the midi interface. While a touchscreen may be necessary for many MDP/Mac applications, using external pistons and/or switches from an organ console or keyboard to control MPD2 can provide unlimited possibilities for custom control and eliminates the need for an iPad.
Those familiar with the iPad and iPhone apps will find the behavior of the Mac Version is essentially identical. I found a few minor issues with using a mouse, but they are easily overcome.Show lessDonLee2062
Complete MIDI solution
Is 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.Show lessdesertboat
Very useful app
I’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.MIDI Enthusiast
Developer Response
Thanks MIDI Enthusiast! This is great to hear. We make every effort to keep the App working (since 2012!) and use it ourselves for live performance with Ableton Live. Appreciate the 5-star review: everything helps! Best! Dan Rosenstark :: Author & CEO :: MIDI Designer :: Confusion Studios
