Apps impossible to connect in midi

This app that is not free, pretending to connect apps between them, didn't work for me.
None of my apps containing midi would appear when i used the search console. I don't know if there is a list or whatever. Didn't work for me.

唯一的功能全面midi路由转换软件

非常好用. very good. 希望作者能开发出AUv3插件版. i hope there is an AUv3 version.

Let down by poor support

The software appears to be comprehensive, with few other apps working on iOS 15 filling this need. Although the standalone app is a disingenuous description, its not complete and requires further payment for other key aspects.
Unfortunately trying to get support on how to use it is impossible. There’s no acknowledgment of requests for help by email. Signing up to the forum does not allow requests to be made and there are a significant number of very good questions completely ignored on the forum.
Get it if you know what you’re doing otherwise look elsewhere.

Não funciona!!!

Porque a loja fica mantendo esse aplicativo ativo se ele não funciona mais. Comprei essa semana, gastei R$ 40 e não funciona. Favor devolver o dinheiro investido.

Funktionslos

Ich habe keine Funktion entdecken können, auch nicht mit kostenpflichtigem add-on.
Besitze ein iPad Air von 2025.

Frequent crashes

Good features, but the app crashed several times while editing the CC map, and some of the mapped CCs are dropped during performance, making it overall unreliable for live usage.

Not working after in app purchases

Just did 2 in app purchases and app stopped working after that

Rip off

Does not work as advertised and support appears to be non-existent.

Nem abre

Diz que é compatível com iOS 8 mas no iOS 10 sequer abre. 40 pratas gastas para nada.

Note On 0 zu Note Off fehlt noch

Gute App, allerdings vermisse ich noch einen Note ON mit Velocity 0 zu Note OFF Translator. Viele iPad Apps kränkeln leider an dieser Stelle und interpretieren Note ONs mit Velocity 0 nicht als Note OFF. Oder habe ich‘s nur übersehen…?

Great app, but no support

I would have given this app five stars, but downrated it because there appears to be no support: impossible to register for the support forum, and the most recent posting there is 2021. I wanted to post a solution to a long-unanswered forum request.

Top!

Top! schon lange im Einsatz! Cool wäre es auch das Taptempo via Trigger z.B. von einer Bassdrum live und variabel steuern zu können. Vielleicht beim nächsten Update?!

Layout issues on my iPhone, can’t do what I want either

I found a number of bugs, posted them on the support forum and got no response. Main one is layout issues in iOS 16.5.1 on iPhone 11, no ‘Done’ button/link visible so you get stuck whenever you go into a menu. On an older iPhone these navigation links appear. This app is probably good for some things, but the functionality I need (filter out Note Off messages) is not there. I was able to create this with MidiPipe on MacOS in about 2 minutes.

App não abre

App simplesmente parou de funcionar. Abre por 2 segundos e fecha.

Antes disso, comprei a funcionalidade do remap e não funcionou.

What's up with the forum?

Great to see this app is being maintained but the forum appears to be dead - I've registered succesfully and can log in, but cannot post. The most recent post there is around 2 1/2 years old at the time I type this! I love this software but it's a bit disconcerting to think there is no support at all. I only wanted to post one minor feature request.

Between this, StreamByter and AUM, I can make an iPad/iPhone music rig that rivals what I've been doing for years on my Mac with Plogue Bidule. I'm afraid to update iOS because I might lose Midiflow!

[Addendum - 7/9/2024] - OK, since there's no way to reach the dev I can see, this wlll have to do. A user on a keyboard forum I frequent just downloaded this and immediately found a bug which I could reproduce: in the "Velocity remapping" page, select the fourth curve, then tap "Reset curve" - the box goes blank. There is no way to recover that screen I found. Next, bug or feature? Looks like Midiflow does not pass release velocity. All note-offs have a vel value = 0 coming out a Midiflow channel regardless of the actual value going in.

I still like and use this app, but seeing a locked support forum with the newest post being three years old does not inspire confidence!

Note off velocities are ignored

The bugs I mentioned in an earlier review were resolved with an iOS update - I forget which one, it’s been a while. Midiflow has been stable for a while now, and I’ve been using it without incident. As I said then, the feature set and power this app has is great. I couldn’t do what I do without it.
One perplexing omission I just discovered is its seeming inability to handle note-off velocities! As far as I can tell, they’re all turned into note-ons with vel=0. I’m OK with this although it sent me on a wild goose chase of troubleshooting that wasted a lot of time. If anyone uses note-off velocities as a modulation source for anything, you may want to look elsewhere - unless Johannes addresses this with an update. He is still unreachable, as far as I can tell. The forum is dead - and the “feedback” button on the top left of the UI (described in the documentation) is gone! It almost seems he doesn’t want to be bothered!

Speaking only for myself - the app is working fine (for now) and I’m gonna stick with it as long as it works on my iPad and iPhone. I can’t help feeling a little nervous about the lack of support.

Needs a demo version

I am getting an error midi offline on my Roland JD Xi. I have connected Yamaha psr sx600 as input with Jdxi as output. The Yamaha is sending active sensing but that doesn’t reach jd xi.

Without this the purpose of the app is not served. And the fact that there is no demo version meant I have lost my money for an app that doesn’t seem to work.

Simply didn’t load at all after paid updates installed

I ve paid for three control updates for midi. After that, the app simply dont start (some kind of bug).
Cash in the trash.

Where is the return button!!!

I bought this app with high hopes and it can do the simplest thing which is to go back to the previous page….??!!! Do not waste your money I want a f..ing refund!!!
