File manager to nowhere

Spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to get to my .SYS files. 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.

Does it all!

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!

Did not function as expected

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.

Event monitor did not work on iPhone version.

The event monitor on iPhone version did not show any events. But on iPad version it worked with same setup. Please check.

Excellent

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.

Très Déçu 😡

Ne vous faite pas avoir comme moi car il est impossible d'éditer les paramètres pendant que le midifile joue ! Inadmissible
NUL NUL NUL...

Very useful!

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!

Language issues

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.

Doesn't work

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!

Pizazz

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.

IPad landscape PLEASE!

Painful to use as a musician without being able to switch to landscape mode.
Look elsewhere for less frustration.

SysEx and PC are perfect

I use it for doing bulk dump / load to Boss GT-100 (to manage livesets), and for this purpose it works very well. I bought the PC in-app module and it works flawlessly too.

Sends Sysex no problem.

Works great with my old Yamaha synth.

Virus Ti2 Dumps

I'm using a Roland um1 mkii with camera kit for patch dumps without having to bring a computer to rehearsal.

Très bien !!

Très bonne app core midi... J'ai sauvegardė les données Sysex de la 01v96 et fait des tests de rechargement sans problème .. Compatible avec les fichiers midi remote. L'app tourne avec TouchOSC, TB MIDI STuff en simultané avec Stereoscope, rtpMidi et la console Yamaha en usb sur pc sans aucun soucis!
Bon les 2 options méritaient d'être gratuites!! Mais le tarif est très raisonnable...

Super duper app

I bought this so I could bring my sysex patches to my ensoniq esq-m instead of having to bring my synth to my computer. It worked like a charm. I can see this does lots of stuff. It even plays sequences I think. I only tried the send receive for sysex patches and performed a successful test. I did make one setting change under preferences from 0-15 to 1-16. That seemed to do the trick. Can't wait to see what else it can do.

It Just Works!

This for me is almost the perfect app. I was looking for an app that I'd be able to communicate with my old Ensoniq ESQ 1 synthesizer. This thing does the job perfectly. It stores all my patches (a.k.a. presets), sequences etc. and it can send them back to the synthesizer. Among many other cool functions. This is worth every penny.

MidiBridge is also a great app. But this one, MIDI Toolbox, "Bridges" certain functions that I absolutely needed and he could find nowhere else. Did I say it was worth every penny? It's worth at least twice that.

Sure, I could do this before on my MacBook. But now I can do it right on my iPad. How cool is that?!?

確認作業につかう

いろんな音源の音の確認などに使ってますが、概ね便利。
でも、細部にこだわりがあると、なお良し。

特に有料のプログラム・チェンジが使い辛い。
1.チャンネルやバンクセレクトは入力じゃなくて、選択方式がいい。
2.プログラムナンバーは0~のタイプと1~のタイプを設定できるようにして欲しい。
3.画面を切り替えずに音色を確認するための鍵盤が欲しい。

It works

I used this app to transmit and receive sysex messages to/from my devices via midi. One file was downloaded and shared by iTunes. It worked perfectly. A little expensive in my case, as I need only for this function.

Very good!

I've tried it for a couple of hours only so far but I'm delighted to say it records and replays midi data flawlessly. It EVEN respects tempo changes (these elude many other apps). And it has a working STOP button (recently oddly removed from Line 6's "Midi Memo", rendering that app useless to me).

STOP seems to send all-notes-off ... A good plan. Needed!

And one can copy midi files into the app very fast, while it's connected to the iMac / pc so it need not always record in real time.

It's great. I'll explore the rest...
