  • 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!

  • Awesome App

    Love this app. I was intimidated by most apps like this, but this one is so intuitive. I see such great potential here. The guys over on Audiobus forum are latching on to this app and creating some nice designs. Looking forward to AB support that looks like it may be happening. The Dev can now see the relevance of AB support for app switching.

  • The dream

    If 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!

  • Excellent app & 1st rate support

    I 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!

  • Does what it says and amazingly well

    First 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!

  • 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.

  • Great just

    Love the in app designer, setup is pretty easy, midi over wifi is better than expected. Love the look of the sliders and knobs and the color wheel thing under your finger is a major cool/function factor. All I want is something to use for a parametric eq like the lemur multi-ball, and how skins for the panels? Would give 5 star for multi ball type control. Using fl studio 10 on a windows 7 64 bit

  • amazing functionality and support

    I 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!

  • Best iPad app for DJs!

    Finally a great way to use the iPad during a set! I use this to control Serato in internal mode and I also use it for effects. Completely customizable so you can build a layout that suits your style. Great app and great tech support!
  • 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!
