Doesn’t work for me

Needs work

Can’t find any documentation or tutorials. 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.

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.

DON’T

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.

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.

Geeeeeerlp

It won’t work for me. 😓

Almost perfect, but....

.....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!

Can you make a tutorial

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.

Amazing app

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.

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.

Crashing issue

When i try to edit the IP address of the OSC host if my ipad mini is in landscape it crashes every time. If i change to portrait it seems to work better. Also editing port number problematic, it doesn’t allow deleting all number so changing to a port that isn’t in the 9000 range is very clumsy. MUST have background mode enabled in next update please!! Cannot run any other app or lock screen..... not good for performance on stage etc.

LOVE IT

I love this app. Just use apps Picture in Picture or side by side and it works great!

Developer, can you add support for wired controllers pretty please?

I’m glad that you love it. Unfortunately Apple does not support wired controllers. Thanks for your review.

Works with Xbox One S controller

I love this app. I am so excited to use wireless Bluetooth controllers for my real-time midi music creation !

Works with my Standard Xbox One S controller.

The fact MIDITROL is unable to run as a background task (not a bug) is unfortunate.

What about the Split Screen option to run some apps both spit screen style?

Apple just confirmed to me that is not posible to get game controller events while the app is running on the backgroud. This is not a bug. There’s a way to send suggestions about adding functionality to Apple, I will do that. I’m so glad that you love the app, please let me know if you think of another way that I can improve it. Thanks.

Good start for a long-awaited feature

Does what it says. This is the initial release, feels a little limited. Hoping that more users will get this app and that it’d motivate people to encourage growth.

At the moment it does basic CC control for the triggers (actually pretty cool) and the analog sticks on my DualShock 4 connected wirelessly. The buttons are all notes. Not sure what Options and Start do, and there is currently zero support for the touchpad on my DualShock.

Right now there is no way to edit the functionality of these controls.

Also, currently this all is unable to run in the background, which is a huge issue if you plan to use it with music apps.

Hoping in the near future that this app might have AUV3 support! That’d actually resolve most issues. But I am not sure if AUV3 even allows a unit to receive game controller input. Hmm

I check updates for my apps daily (update manually). If I see background audio support, I’m bumping it up a star. If I see an editor, I’m bumping it up a star. So far so good otherwise.

Thank you so much for your detailed review… At the moment touchpad is not supported by Apple so there’s nothing I can do about it. Options and start menu are reserved buttons for midi scale navigation, so you can access all 127 midi notes and controls. Running the app on background is my top priority, but I’m afraid this is another feature not allowed by Apple, there’s no sense for games to run in the background... If this is not allowed by iOS, I hope you can change that start for another feature :) Edit: Apple just confirmed to me that currently there’s no way to get game controller events while the app is running on the backgroud. A midi note/control editor is for sure on the roadmap. So I will work hard for that star. Please feel free to send more suggestions within the app.
