  • Limited and won’t do what i want. Support forum has error codes and doesn’t work

    I was hoping that i could easily switch patches during a song. I can load a patch with a song selection but there should be an option to select another patch on the same device with the click of a button. I can do this with BandHelper and Yamaha setlist maker but not this program. I guess i was hoping for too much.

  • After new update appWorks perfectly again

    Update - after the latest update the app works perfectly again. I just hope that updates are made more frequently in the future when a known issue exists. I’m thankful for this latest update.

    I’m a professional keyboardist who has used iMIDIPatchbay for years whith phenomenal results in the past. Unfortunately, as of iOS14, the app started having major issues related to PDFs and stuck synths which were never addressed. The developer used to provide excellent responses and quick fixes, but for a long while he has not responded to issues raised in the forums or directly. I sincerely hope he is ok. The app is no longer stable enough for pro use on iOS and I’m not upgrading to 15 until I can migrate all my music to another app. Just an FYI to any keyboardists considering this app.

  • Best midi controler

    Please. Make this app for mac wold be. The best midi controler🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
  • Not compatible

    Not working on ios14
  • Great App for what it does but.....

    I really like this app. It’s well thought out but I bought it a few years ago for hardware synths and just tried to incorporate my iOS synths ( Magellan , IK B3, etc ) and imidipatch bay isn’t showing up on any app to choose as the midi in. Nit sure if it’s the app is older, maybe not updated for a while, but for me has only worked for hardware, which is a shame.

  • Base good, extra master upgrade useless

    Hook up your keyboard on say MIDI channel 1, and route it out to up to 4 apps or external devices, with program change codes and some CC adjustments like volume, reverb or chorus? Works great.

    Don’t buy the multiple masters in app purchase, though. As far as I can tell, the additional “master” inputs 2-4 are only useful for bouncing a signal back to a device which has local MIDI control turned off. I was hoping to route another device or channel, such as channel 10 out from my arranger, to an arbitrary extern, such as a drum synth. Nope, there is no way to select which master drives an extern, just which split/layer zone of master 1 is used for input.

    Maybe the problem is trying to do the configuration with my iPhone instead of my iPad , since the pop up help suggests holding down the arming button on the extern while tapping a master or something. I don’t understand why the MIDI setup dialog box doesn’t allow either/both of the master or extern to select the routing from a master to an extern using from & to option lists, similar to how the master input and extern output are selected.

  • in-app purchase (have to buy again for 2nd ios device)

    Hi !
    This is a great app, but i am not pleased with the fact that i have to buy the "setlist fonction" again to use with my ipad.
    I first installed the app on my iPhone 6s with in-app purchase for setlist fonction, and decided to download it on my iPad air for free since i alteady purchased the app and setlist function$. To my surprise, once i installed the app on my iPad (cloud purchase-free), it doesnt give me the functionality of setlist with it (already paid for iPhone). This is not acceptable.
    Can you please rectify this issue and activate this fonction for all my devices without having to pay each time ... Launchpad Novation allows all in-app purchases free of charge for all other devices (audio import function etc..) , so this should not be a problem to do. Thank you for your understanding.

    Developer Response

    Hi, this should not happen. IAPs can be restored using the Restore purchases function in settings. Even if you click buy a second time, you won’t be charged if you have bought that IAP with that account before.
  • Help Icons on Iphone

    This works well with a midi sound module that cant store and recall programs and patches etc.
    However I don’t know how you get rid of these help icons which are a real pain on the smaller display of the iphone!!
  • Must have for live performance

    Great app for gigs, especially for a multi keyboardist. Very useful. Also highly recommend for the add-on setlist feature, which has been super. As I scroll through a set, If i attached notes/chart for that song I can see it on my iPad, then simply swipe when it’s over, which I’m onto the next song (which changes all my patches across my rig). I play in several projects, so not having to manually change (or memorize patches) has been great.
    Note: I did previously encounter an issue with the app, but the developer was very helpful on a work around and eventually resolve entirely. I did not realize how much I depended on it when I initially ran into issues. All good now, so very pleased.

  • Not worth the money

    App doesn’t work, poor built in help menu when more substantial manual is needed and no one replies to simple tech support request - my advice is better to buy MidiFlow which will do everything this does and at least it works so the tech support isn’t needed!
