No

Ridiculously overpriced. Not useful without paying. Subscriptions in general are bs. Lifetime is $150…

Nicht nur in AUM, Cubasis etc

Es geht auch in den wichtigsten AUv3 Hosts (GarageBand, Logic), die aus irgendwelchen Gründen hier nicht genannt werden. Gibt es da Animositäten? Ich konnte es in Logic für iPad adressieren, habe aber momentan keine Anwendung dafür.

AUv3 Support

AUv3 support is a very welcome addition! Runs nicely in Logic Pro for iPad. Makes it much easier to deal with external hardware synths from inside Logic, and all settings and layouts are recalled with the Logic project.

Superior tool

Works well on my Mac mini M1 with macOS 15.x.

Perfect for all kinds of MIDI work. Mostly use it for pedal controls and presets.

Customer service is responsive and helpful. Thanks

Powerful and flexible

My home studio is guitar focused and I need to be able to control multiple modelers, pedals, and DAW functionality without a lot of tap-dancing and context switching. MD allows me to configure the controls I need all in one place and control it from one iPad. MD so far is looking like a game-changer for me.

App DOA

I currently give this app no stars. It crashes within 20 seconds of opening it. I tried restarting my iPad. I deleted and reinstalled the app. I had high hopes, as this app was recommended for a few pieces of hardware I use that could benefit from the interface this would provide if it didn’t crash.

I did just update the os, so perhaps it will work soon.

Broken on latest update.

Shuts down by itself after this latest update. Cant keep it open more than 5 seconds on iPhone 16 pro with 1tb
please fix

Raw MIDI Power!

I can’t think of any other app purchase that has continuously grown by leaps and bounds through frequent feature-rich updates. This developer is my hero. 10 out of 5 stars.

Amazing app

A lot to take in. Go slow and be rewarded

best midi-app ever

i use it to remote control Logic Pro 11, play Keyboard and control my S-Gear-Amps.

top app!

👍👍👍👍

Immediately delete

There is no clear way to get out of each screen and go back to previous screen. I had to exit the app every time. It’s a clunky mess and doesn’t seem to fit the screen correctly. The controls are not clear and I kept accidentally changing settings when I was trying to figure out how to resize it to fit. I then tried the “tutorial” (after exiting and restarting app several times) but it’s just a YouTube playlist and not a tutorial. I’m not even considering the paid version if I can’t figure out the free version. This looks like it was made then abandoned. It could have been really good. What a disappointment.

A brilliant addition to my guitar rig

I'm writing this review to thank the makers for doing a great job.

I use the app as a midi controller for the Line6 Helix. I have it set up so I can control a few favourite parameters from the ipad. This is the equivalent of bending down and twiddling the pedal knobs but far more convenient. I'm surprised we don't see more guitarists with ipads / screens as part of their rigs for just such uses. If you are thinking of a similar use-case, I recommend fully.

Sorry for not giving 5 star - I almost never do. But if I could improve things, maybe I would make programming the app a bit easier and more intuitive. But it is still fantatsic and well worth the price.

Excellent App and Great Support

I’ve had this App for 5 years and it ticks all the boxes for versatility and functionality.
I’m using it to control Amps, Pedals, Keyboards and other MIDI capable Apps.
The support is fantastic…quick, detailed responses and lot’s of patience.
Highly recommended. 👍🏻

THE MIDI controller design environment

To counter TheFosil, in this new era of Mac/iPad music creation, this app is a control powerhouse!!! Does everything reasonably expected of it and MUCH more. It CONTROLS your sound making on iPad, iPhone and now cross platform on Mac as well. May be Mseries only, I’ll have to check…

Best Midi application in the App Store

I cannot produce, engineer, or play in church without it. This app is so crucial to my workflow. It is a true shame that Apple continues to dwarf or limit hardware. Apps like this one open and empower that hardware again!

: )

thank you : )
finally we can use this app as it has been

Hm

Erlaubt einem die offenbar hässlichsten User Interfaces zu laden, die man sich überhaupt vorstellen kann. Also das was ich da sehen kann ohne gleich Geld per Endlos-Abo zu berappen ist insuffizient für eine Entscheidung zum Kauf und das ewige nach Geld bettelnde Popup nervt dabei immens. Dafür gleich 150 Euro auszugeben ist ja wohl aberwitzig.

As A Long Time User. I Love This MIDI app !

I wasn’t dinged with a subscription after updating. I was very worried as I can’t afford that and have used this mostly for my Roland JD-990 for a long long time. For panels that don’t exist, I think it might not be a bad idea for the developers to create their own to sell as IAPs. Still hoping for the JV-2080, etc. The UI is cleaner and the app is faster Dan was helpful with explanations that if you bought it from 2012 - 2024 and you’re using the same AppStore account, you’re automatically upgraded with no subscription. That worked without any issues. Or, you’d have to contact him to sort it out. I look forward to using this highly versatile app. The best MIDI synthesizer controller app I have used.

Gamechnager for MIDI enabled guitar pedals

I've been using the app for over a year to build layouts to control many Chase Bliss pedals. I use a widi jack to connect wirelessly over bluetooth and it's been a game changer. Fun uses:

- Controlling my pedals from across the room while sat comfortably on the couch
- Accessing hidden controls (no more menu diving)
- Saving/recalling settings - no more struggling to remember dial positions

The developer also updates the app regularily.
