Beware will not work with any version of IOS 26 - will brick Maestro
Please be aware that there is a known major issue (check the singular sound forum) that the maestro will brick and not sync with the required app on iOS running 26 or 26.2. The company "fix" is to use an older device running older iOS versions and to contact Apple to get it resolved in future iOS updates. The device is absolutely useless without connecting to the app as that is the only way to program. There have been no longer term alternative solutions provided by Singular Sound.

It will brick your midi maestro
This app doesn’t work on iOS. Basically when you update the firmware on the device using the app and you finish the process. You will get “eeprom invalid” on the top three screens of the MIDI maestro. You won’t be able to sync back to the device as the app will no longer be able to connect and then you’ll just get “transmission error” messages. Apparently this has been a known issue in the singular sound community forum, with as of right now, no way to fix the problem using a newer Apple phone or iOS. You can work around by using an android phone but I don’t have one nor do I have the time to constantly fiddle around with an app/device that no longer works until they update the app somehow. As of right now I would not buy the midi maestro or use the app on an Apple phone.

App is solid and functional on iOS 17.6.1+
This is to balance all the shade being thrown at this app…dunno why the hate? Seems logical and straightforward; works fine for me! App is functional and intuitive, albeit a bit spartan, but it’s just a MIDI editor, and that it does.
How about an iOS app for the Aeros Looper and Beat Buddy…and PLEASE ENABLE THE BLUETOOTH BTLE MIDI on the Aeros so we can go wireless!

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to hear you are having a positive experience with the app and its improvements!
Bad job.
The MIDI Maestro App crashes frequently. After setting up a custom mode for my Headrush MX5, the app crashes every time I attempt to open any mode. It was a waste of time trying to reach out to the BeatBuddy support team. Their unprofessionalism was evident.
Response from developer
Hi there, We do apologize that you had this experience as we normally respond to all bugs and also fix them pretty quickly. Sometimes support will miss an email, you can always message again at support@singularsound.com or write to us on https://forum.singularsound.com/ and that will also help make sure you are not missed as we monitor it frequently. We saw your note here because we just updated to version 1.8.0 a few weeks ago and it was pointed out to us. We have not seen this bug otherwise but if we can find the steps to replicate it, we can fix it Thank you for your feedback
Everything that you need
I don’t really understand the negative reviews. It’s not supposed to be this revolutionary app it’s just supposed to make it so you can create your custom modes and manage the MIDI Maestro in an easy and intuitive way, and that’s exactly what it does. Since their most recent update, I can’t find one thing that I’ve had a problem with. Can’t wait for more custom modes that I make with my other MIDI pedals.
