## What is Midi Controller?

MidiController turns your iPhone/iPad into a complete MIDI controller, that works over USB, WLAN or Bluetooth. No additional software needed!
Send all possible Notes, Continuous Controller / Control Change and Program Change values to the connected device.

Build your workspace from the ground up with unlimited, custom Pushes/Buttons and Sliders.
All Pushes/Buttons and Sliders are completely customisable - customize every value of every control possible and how the control behaves. You can even create dynamic controls (e.g. Program Change values that count up or down).

• Works with every macOS: From 10.5 (Leopard) up to the newest 10.15 (Catalina)
• Works on every iPhone and iPad
• Also works with external hardware (e.g. synths,...) that supports Apple (CoreMidi)
• If your hardware/PC does not support CoreMidi, you can use an iPhone/iPad compatible MIDI-Interface as bridge to make MidiController work with ALL MIDI devices

Works with every application that supports MIDI-Input.
Example DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation):
* Logic X Pro
* Ableton Live
* Avid Pro Tools
* Propellerhead Reason
* Steinberg Cubase
* Cockos Reaper
* and many more (in principle every application that supports midi input)

** NOTES **
• MidiController does not play any sound itself, it only sends out MIDI-Information to connected devices.
• MidiController is primary created to work with macOS-Devices. If you want to use MidiController with hardware that does not support Apple CoreMidi, you might need an iPhone/iPad compatible MIDI-Interface as bridge. A MIDI interface typically connects to your iOS per lightning port and provides standard MIDI DIN ports to connect to your hardware. There are also bluetooth MIDI interfaces that connect wirelessly.
• MidiController does not receive any MIDI-Information, it generates and sends them itself depending on the user-input.

### 1/5 — Features lacking

*2026-03-24*

Can not send more than one midi message per pad.

### 4/5 — Great app, but missing essential features

*2025-01-23*

App works fine and it was extremely easy to setup on mac. 

I think it misses some features:
-Rotate the keyboard to landscape. If you rotate the phone, the keyboard won’t get into “landscape mode”. 
-Invert keyboard order. Currently, lower octaves are on top, it feels unnatural. 
-Invert the order on note pads. Currently, lower octaves are on top which feels unnatural. If you’re using Ableton (which I am), it does not match the drum rack. I had to make my own template.

### 2/5 — Missing Features

*2024-12-18*

It is good app but it is not useful to me because it is not receiving midi information so if I am using real controller and iPad, there will be conflicting because iPad not synced with software

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-06-05*

It's really good but would be better if you could have the keyboard in landscape and adjust how many octaves were displayed (by thinning the keys I guess) but other than that it's pretty decent!

### 1/5 — 不要买

*2024-01-11*

这种软件能不能用还不知道，价格高且不能试用也不能退款，完全就是欺诈，我买了多少专业软件没见过这样的

**Developer response:** 您好！感谢您的反馈。在最新的更新中，我们增加了完全功能的免费试用版，这样每个人都可以测试软件。如果您还有任何问题，请通过邮件联系我，我们将帮您解决。

### 1/5 — no sound

*2023-05-20*

I cant get this to trigger from my ipad into my DAW after following all of the set up instructions. I can get it to trigger from my iphone to my DAW. I use Reason 12 but the ipad version of the app does not work for my purposes.

### 3/5 — Clearly not made by a musician

*2022-10-17*

Great and responsive controller but the keys are terrible sized and cannot be resized.

**Developer response:** Hi! I just fixed this with the recent update. You can now resize pads & sliders :)

### 5/5 — Nice and simple

*2022-09-23*

I bought this to use as a simple external controller for overrides on SoundSwitch light controller software. 

Once set up, it’s a simple job to set up notes and cc’s. Nice, easy to follow videos provided within the app to help with this. 

Although it is possible to select different colours for different sliders, pads etc, it would be nice to have some customisable colour assignments for sliders, pads etc. 

Happy with the purchase and I’m sure I’ll put it to good use on stage.

### 3/5 — A Fine Start

*2021-12-31*

I would like to have more customizable features. But, works easily and logically. I’m using it as a Bluetooth controller for my Line6 HX Stomp.

### 1/5 — Rien ! Nothing ! Nada ! Nichts !

*2021-12-19*

bon ben voila ! j’ai balancé 8€ pour rien. je comptais contrôler les programmes changes de mon Integra 7 Roland avec mon Ipad mais rien ne fonctionne, pas de connexion… Merci Apple ! You should explain a little bit more what it’s exactely possible to do with this software. I wanted to control my midi expander Roland Integra 7 for change sounds while I’m playing whith my E-accordion. But I can’t connect to it ! :-(
And, of course, no answer ! You’re just robber…
