Went online for help, that was a failure too. This thing needs to be updated or removed from the App Store in my opinion. 8 years without an update is pathetic. ### 5/5 — Does it all! *2023-01-17* Great for anyone using MIDI. SYSEX Librarian works with the latest gear. Only one request: landscape mode on iPad! Otherwise it’s just what I needed! ### 1/5 — Did not function as expected *2021-01-26* I bought this thinking I could use it to transfer SysEx files back and forth from my synth. I was wrong. The librarian function is an empty screen with /Documents displayed. Could not figure out how to load SysEx dumps into the app to transfer them. You can create folders but can’t open previously made folders, nor can you browse or import files & folders. Also could not find where the app creates a local folder, so I couldn’t even import them manually. Like another reviewer said, the only help is all in Japanese (there’s only English for the help section headings, but not in the actual help itself). It annoys me that the developer took the effort to write an English description in the App Store, but didn’t make an effort in the app itself. I too, have requested a refund. Certainly not worth £10 of my money. ### 3/5 — Event monitor did not work on iPhone version. *2020-04-17* The event monitor on iPhone version did not show any events. But on iPad version it worked with same setup. Please check. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2019-12-03* The best App Ive found found all kinds of midi related jobs. Great for backing up patches on Synths, Sysex etc. Future suggestions. -Add Bluetooth midi connections. -Add support so it works in background. -All support in both screen orientations. ### 1/5 — Très Déçu 😡 *2018-08-02* Ne vous faite pas avoir comme moi car il est impossible d'éditer les paramètres pendant que le midifile joue ! Inadmissible NUL NUL NUL... ### 4/5 — Very useful! *2018-03-08* I use this to gather Sysex from an old MI Shruti synth. It works great. Batch file transfers and iCloud backups would be a welcome additions. I’ve really found your softwares key in my studio all the way back to when I was using it on PC. Keep up the good work! ### 2/5 — Language issues *2017-11-17* The user manual with in the app is in Japanese or another Eastern language and not English. I have had to go to the online website to find any information in English. Developer needs to correct this and also give more details about suggested connections and settings for various scenarios. This would make the software app more user friendly and helpful. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-05-08* My midi is properly connected over USB, and this app lists my um-one in settings. However, nothing displays in the event monitor, the keyboard doesn't play. I tried this on iPad and iPhone. This app doesn't work. Other apps do work, but this has a great combination of features so I wish if did. Also note that this app only displays in portrait mode. So the Midi connector is pointed down and the ipad can't rest on the piano. Incredibly idiotic! ### 1/5 — Pizazz *2015-11-13* Don't waste your money on this. Not worth it and the instructions are not in English a problem if that is your only language. I want a refund. ## Frequently asked questions about Midi Tool Box ### What is Midi Tool Box?
