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.
Will not save any changes
I had this app several years ago. I decided to use it again and can't get it to save anything except the name of a preset in the cloud. All other changes are lost. I have no idea how this app is supposed to save my work and reload.
User unfriendly
I just got the app, and am trying to do AMYTHING. I don’t see how to use it as an output device. Giving it three stars, because a ton of people give one star if they don’t understand something, and I don’t want to be one of them.
Presets speichern?
Leider gelingt es mir nicht (obwohl ich durchaus kompetent bin), irgendwie ein von mir erstelltes Preset zu speichern .. naja, die App ist ja auch 5 Jahre alt, vielleicht ist da etwas ausgehakt?
Review
This app works a treat! Would love to be able to send presets for a session via airdrop or share it in a similar fashion without having to re-program each note on a second device.
Scam stay away
Doesn’t work, sent an email asking for help, no response.
Good but can't share presets
Good but i need a way to share macros with others
Hervorragende App!
Für jeden der MIDI Geräte auf seinem iPhone/iPad schalten möchte kann ich diese App herzlichst empfehlen.
Ich besitze schon etliche Apps die ähnlich funktionieren z.B. Touch OSC, MIDI Designer usw. aber die hier ist recht einfach und man kann die Macros in iCloud speichern. So hat man A) eine Sicherheitskopie B) die Möglichkeit bereits erstellte Macros auf ein anderes Gerät zu laden
Plus:
Man erstellt Marcos direkt aus dem iOS Gerät, kein PC nötig
Die App ist nicht mit Schnick-Schnack überladen
Funktioniert im Split-Screen auf dem iPad Pro! (Für mich) gaaanz gaaanz wichtig!
Minus:
Keine Latch-Funktionalität der Tasten. Zwar kann man mehrere Befehle gleichzeitig ausführen aber mit der gleichen Taste Effekte an- und dann ausschalten ist nicht möglich
Keine Slider/Encoder. Nicht so schlimm.
Keine Lern-Funktion. Kommt hoffentlich noch in Zukunft dazu. Bitte! 🤓
Die Überschreib-Funktion scheint nicht zu funzen. Am besten erstellt man gleich eine neue Version mit Suffix wie 001, 002 und gut ist.
Und ganz zum Schluss: vielen, vielen Dank für diese App!!! Ich bin total begeistert!

Great To Control Program Changes
I use this program for a very specific purpose...and it is great. I use wireless midi Bluetooth (Yamaha MD-BT01...also great!) on my keyboards. By using the wireless Bluetooth midi interface with the Midi Macros app, I have the ability to change programs on my keyboard rig WIRELESSSLY!
When I first purchased the app, I had very small issues. I emailed the inventor (Oscar Bouwmans) and he was super responsive. He was so helpful...and in a very short period of time, he solved my issue.
I use Midi Macros to control the program changes on my keyboard rig wirelessly. I set up the buttons with the instrument name (accordion, organ, synth...etc). The program is very responsive and there are no delays when I initiate a command. It was very easy to program, but you must have a firm knowledge of Midi (MSB and LSB especially for the bank and program changes). The program allows you to assign a number of midi commands to a button. For example, the macros I set up consist of 2 commands...a bank change and a program change. I have created the perfect "Favorites" menu that controls my rig (Korg Krome, Yamaha MX61 and an AKAI Sampler).
I am on stage every Friday and Saturday night and this app has been a life saver. I no longer hold up the set when I need to dial in a particular sound. It is available at the touch of a button...did I mention WIRELESSLY. I run Midi Macros on my iPad Pro in dual mode with Mackie Master Fader (which wirelessly controls my DL32R)...and I have NEVER had issues.
Explore this app. I searched high and low for an app with this much simplicity and power. It is very customizable and in my opinion, one of the biggest bangs for the buck that I have every found.
