Still the best thing out there

Not sure if this is app is “abandon-ware” at this point. But it’s amazingly powerful. There are other program apps out there - some are overkill, and others that don’t do extended MIDi CC. If you need to send bank changes (not just 0-127 program changes) this is the app you need.. Old as it is, it works flawlessly. With Blue tooth Midi no less. Was also a great way to repurpose old tech- able to run this on an “ancient” 2019 iPad mini with IOS 12. . Though it does support newer iPads and OS too. I’d gladly pay a bit more if the Dev ever decides to update- but in the meantime, it’s pretty darn good. I’m controlling a hybrid hardware/virtual live rig and able to send group and individual patches to all my boards. There is a lack of documentation- something I’m working on doing on my channel.

Perfect for what I need

I’ve been using this app for 2-3 years and it’s exactly what I need. I use it to change settings for 2 keyboards in live playing situations. I set up midi commands for each sound I need, run it through an iRig midi interface and by just touching the iPad can change the sounds to the selected setting. Its a very basic app, but I was able to learn it quickly and it does all I need. I’ve had no issues with it.

Great considering the price

Worked for what I needed. Sending PC messages for wireless control of Camelot Pro on my iPad. I was able to load via the iCloud onto another phone. I have a holder for my iPhone that straps to my right leg for use while sitting.

Superb but needs a little more

This app works great and is simple to figure out. You can control any midi device connected to your iPad. Just a few things to add:
1. More flexible layout
2. Add sliders for cc control etc.
3. Audiobus support.

Doesn’t work

8th gen iPad, crashes often. Development seems to be abandoned.
