### 5/5 — Simple, easy

*2024-01-27, version 4.1*

Been using this app a long time. Tried the other ones. Keep on using this one. A lot of apps out there that do this stuff are so geeky. Powerful, but geeky. This is the MIDI controller app for the rest of us. It takes the geekiness out of the way and lets you get down to business: making music. Thank you to the developer for keeping it simple.

### 5/5 — pretty good app

*2023-01-18*

This is very good start but it has same problem as all multi cc interfaces - can't store cc values between runs and "send all".
Forces you to start from scratch every time you run it.
If you add this you'll have a unique product.

No velocity sensing.

Need to change midi note to cc message, change midi channel,
then change back to midi note. 

Don't really need the round white dots on each finger tap.

Also interface lets you put controls on top of other controls, great. But it should run all of them.  This would allow putting multiple cc message pads under a large midi note pad maybe one in x direction and one in y direction... send cc messages first...  makes a note pad with zones!

### 5/5 — Absolutely perfect

*2022-08-23*

I use Sonic Logic to control 12 different outboard effects devices ranging from the revered TC Electronic M3000 to the forgettable ART DR-X in a small mixing facility. As most of the screens are going bad on these older units, I rely on Sonic Logic to handle program changes and send MIDI CC to the various units. It works flawlessly. 

On a different iPad, I’m running Sonic Logic to control my AB preferences in Metric AB. Again, never had an issue.

Only thing I would ask for is cascading program assigning. Create a button that assigns to channel 9 program 3, the next button created automatically default assigns channel 9 program 4. I know this is an insanely specific request, but that’s really it. 

Thank you for this program! Love it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work in slide over view

*2022-02-16*

I chose this app because I tested the knob lab app to see if it worked in slideover since this app doesn’t have a way to test it. Now I I am out the $10 and I can’t use the app for what I need.

### 1/5 — confusing

*2021-09-17*

incredible confusing. no good tutorials that are only more confusing. save your money.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2021-07-30, version 3.0.7*

Does exactly what it says on the tin! Build a custom controller interface. This has become such an essential part of my live setup. The compatibility with all kinds of different MIDI interfaces, including wireless is amazing. 

This app is worth much more than what is being asked. Seriously it’s that great!

### 5/5 — Functional, programmable, yay

*2020-06-24, version 3.0.6*

Works great with rtpMIDI on Windows. Made a new layout for Voicemeeter in a couple of hours. Small objects are challenging to maintain (resize+move) and the devs’ mention of shareable presets without anywhere clear to look for/trade them are my only issues.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-05-08, version 3.0.5*

I have just bought this app to use on an old iPad 2 connecting to a 2011 Mac mini by usb. This iPad is to old for Logic's iPad app, but this works great. couldn't be happier.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-03-29, version 3.0.5*

This developer is very good. I wish they would do more. This app is well designed and is solid. No crashes so far. There is a lot more that could be done with this kind of app that allows you to create virtual midi controllers. Come on, create a super pro version that gives you much more. You guys know what I mean. This app, as it is, is fantastic and more than enough for most of us starting out with this kind of thing. Ok, I know how to do everything that this app offers. Time for the new super version. Where can I buy it? Or rather when will it be ready? Thanks for all the fun. I recommend this app for anyone wanting to learn about midi controllers.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2019-01-14, version 3.0.5*

It’s ok but full of bugs. Faders get stuck a lot then you have to restart it. Moving objects and resizing is frustrating. I think I will stick with S1miditrigger.
