I figured out how to control a sound on my iPad using AUM on both ends via wireless midi but the is too much latency. Wireless controller to iPhone and wireless midi to iPad. Maybe ok for cc messages as latency may not be an issue. . Going to see if I can use usb c to usb c. Needs to be AUv3, work in the background on the same device to be of any use to me. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2023-10-14* Can’t find any documentation or tutorials. I have been working with midi for years and usually figure things out on my own. Needs to be AUv3 to be of any use to me. ### 1/5 — DON’T *2023-03-05* This app has the potential to be something amazing. But with absolutely ZERO documentation, no “Quick Info” options, it is entirely useless. The game pad clearly connects, and is working, but I have no idea how to send the data to a synth. No Audioshare, no IAA, not AUV3. Only a single video exists of the dev using it with his DJ setup, so apparently that is proof of concept. I emailed the dev months ago with no response. I would really like my money back. OR, write a manual for it, so people can figure it out. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. You’re always free to ask Apple for a refund, I can’t give your money back. Unfortunately I never received your email, I always answer to all my users. There’s no way to create an AU for this app for technical reasons, probably you can’t map your midi values to synths because as soon as you lose the app focus you no longer receive controller signals, that’s a limitation that I can’t solve and it’s documented at the app description. I’m definitely lacking of documentation and tutorials, I hope that in the next version that I’m about to release that part is better covered. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. ### 3/5 — Geeeeeerlp *2022-10-19* It won’t work for me. 😓 ### 3/5 — Almost perfect, but.... *2022-09-17* .....i was hoping there was the ability for both the touchpad and the joysticks to turn each axis into a single continuous range rather than two ranges on each axis (left and right). The way it is now makes it not usable for many midi tasks. So sad! ### 5/5 — Can you make a tutorial *2022-06-22* Can you make a tutorial on how to use with GarageBand on iOS? The app recognizes my controller in miditrol but I can’t figure out how to use it elsewhere. **Developer response:** Yes I can, please send me an email to support@miditrol.com to help you connect miditrol with other midi compatible software. Thanks for buying the app and for your review. ### 5/5 — Help *2021-10-24* Hello, please help me connect to bias fix 2 **Developer response:** Sure. Please send me an email describing what you’re trying to achieve support@miditrol.com ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2021-06-26* Love the new support for the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller, particularly the ability to use two fully independent fingers on the touchpad. I had no idea that was possible! I kind of wish there was the ability for both the touchpad and the joysticks to turn each axis into a single continuous range rather than two ranges on each axis (left and right), but I suppose I can hack a “fix” to turn them into a single range with some MIDI scripting tools like StreamByter or Mozaic. **Developer response:** You won’t need a hack, I will code that option for the next release. Feel free to send more suggestions and I’ll try my best to make them happen. Thank you for buying the app and for your review. ## Frequently asked questions about MIDITROL ### What is MIDITROL?
