  • Needs XY expression

    I've had this app for years and while velocity and chords have been nice additions I don't understand how it still doesn't have basic features like pitch bend.

    EDIT: Now they've removed support for split screen which kills usability with other apps on the iPad.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the feedback on the split screen. We had removed it based on feedback by other uses (causing issue with touches near the tops and bottoms). Perhaps that is a way we can allow users to switch between the two modes. Also, I agree with you on the pitch bend as well. Do you imagine it would be one control for all keys?
  • Great app for microtonal midi control

    Hi! Thank you so much for creating and continuing to support this app! The only feature request I have is that we be able to number the individual buttons manually so that saving a preset is even more beneficial, especially when working with hyper chromatic scales.

    Thanks for the review. I presume you want to "number" the notes with a midi value rather than use an isomorphic layout?
  • Musix Pro

    I have had this app for several years, and always come back to it and learn something new. I particularly like the many keyboard options which are isomorphic, and use Janko and Wicki-Hayden everyday, while toying with the B and C systems from time to time. It's been great ti practice for my "real" keyboard (Striso midi controller) and my acoustic Hayden Duet Concertina. It's a treasure!

  • 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

    Thank you for this this app it’s so amazing, Anyone looking at this thinking about purchasing it, just buy it you won’t regret it… It comes highly recommended. 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼
  • Best midi controller on the App Store!

    I love this thing! Best midi controller and isomorphic one too.
  • Isomorphic

    This lets you try linnstrument, lumatone, wicki, janko, regular tuned fretboards, accordion, and custom square or rectangle or hex layouts. Being fascinated with these layouts, this app is a killer app for tablets and worth twice the price, in my opinion.

    Unfortunately, not enough people share this view and development stopped years ago. The UI is clunky, documentation, unfinished, the feedback tool calls it a beta, theres interapp audio but not audio units, and no mpe or bending/sliding/glide. Midi over lan works great, but between two ipads i had missed notes. I havent tried it in AUM yet.

    All that said, this is the app to buy if youre curious about isomorphic interfaces but arent ready to drop 1 to 2 thousand dollars, order 3d printed janko keys, or retune your guitar. I think the app notional keyboard has square layouts and mpe but not hex, and is twice the price but updated.

    Thanks for the honest review Jason. You are correct in that there is soo much more we would love to do with Musix Pro, but unfortunately, the market is much too small for us to earn much more than coffee money. Hopefully one day we have the time to improve it into the app that our users and the instrument deserve.
  • Good in it’s day

    Needs to be updated to MPE to be current.
  • Great!

    Fantastic midi controller. Flexible. Wish it had pitch and mod wheels but otherwise fantastic!
  • A real instrument

    First music app I’ve seen that seems like a real instrument in its own right optimized for the iPhone.
  • Need dark theme note pattern coloring

    Personally I feel it will be more fantastic if there is a color theme, where the keys are all in dark colors, while I touch it, it will be bright color. Kind of similar to the colors of those launchpad style app. Also for the existing color themes, it will be cool if touching the key triggers bright color or even some twinkling/flash effect instead of black as it is now.

    Thanks for your review. We do recognize that the built-in audio synthesis has its shortcomings. Please connect it to one of the other amazing midi synths out there for an awesome experience.
