  • 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.

  • Phenomenal app!

    Extremely powerful, flexible and customizable; incredibly easy to use; top-notch support from the developer and the forum. My iPad is now a far more powerful midi controller than any piece of hardware could ever be. Highly recommended!
  • 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.
  • Midi designer vs Lemur

    After agonizing on whether to buy the identically priced MDP or Lemur, I eventually settled on MDP due to the far simpler workflow I saw in the videos...
    And it didn't disappoint! Within a short time, I had layouts that where manipulating various Logic Pro X effects. I then went on to create ad-hoc layouts for controlling Nave, Thor & Galilio (Sunrizer didn't work for some reason).

    Love it!

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Awesome!!

    I use this app for guitar to communicate between my pedalboard and my midi capable pedals. It works amazingly. There isn't another app out there that makes it easy enough for a novice to program complete midi controls as presets/patches.

    Currently using to control Moog Moogerfoogers with a GigRig Pro 14 Midi.

  • 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!

  • Minecraft for MIDI

    MIDI 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.

  • 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!
