Not AUv3
Works as advertised and well laid out.
Sadly, AUv3 is missing. I would love to use more than one instance inside AUM.

Easy and Right
Both XY and CC are the easiest, most direct apps to use for sending internal or external MIDI. XY has so many options you can get yourself in trouble. The chaos you can create with it is amazing, and it is fully capable of taking hardware synths to the reset graveyard. It’s like having six extra hands. Or 14 if you stack 2 and go two handed. Absolutely the best CC controller I’ve found. Everything you want it do, no design work, no fluff. Just MIDI.

3 Years Since the Last Update Shows
I hate to by overly criticall of a $2 app. It's still a bargain, looks good etc.
But, the drop down menus are broken on my up to date ipad pro. it's not particularly intuitive to set up (though it is simple once you figure it out).
But it's $2 so whatevs :)

Life saver!!
Thank you! Just what I needed and when I needed it!!
Thanks for developing
Just what I need and more. X/Y pad functionality for a device I already own. Looking forward to some modulation and UI magic, but very grateful for what it is.
Finally
I've been looking for a straightforward x/y MIDI utility for ages and this is nearly perfect. The wealth of preset cc's is awesome as well. The one thing I'd like is if one could define the bounce back value. Using this for VSTs that have x/y pads, the "center" or no-modulation position is often 64 instead of 0. Still fantastic!

Both CC and XY pal
Both of Daniel’s apps are the bees knees. I witnessed a friend using them with gear last night and instabought when I woke up this morning.
Lol ,you know it’s good when it’s the first thing on a producers mind when he wakes up!

A lot of fun!
I’ve been using X/Y pal to control plugin synths in Ableton, having 4 X/Y pads is a really fun way of controlling a synth. Works nicely with u-he Hive’s 4 X/Ys. Would be nice to be able to record and loop gestures in app and choose different locations for SnapBack, lots of potential for development. Keep up the good work 😀

Love it
So glad I found this app! I was able to get things setup and running quickly as opposed to many other apps with create your own X/Y MIDI surface. The ability to layer is awesome and being able to switch on/off just “X” or “Y” makes midi learn a breeze! Finally thank you!! You can save individual hot keys (quick buttons) and full group (pad) presets. Send to different MIDI channels or devices. You can even inverse the values per control. The included blue tooth control works great without noticeable latency.
Some minor issues keeping me from giving it a fifth star.... Settings and adjustments autosave and there’s no undo which is cool on the fly but may cause confusion if something’s changed accidentally.
The lowest CC value range “00” actually jumps to 127. So it's: 127-1<127. Changing it from zero to one sorted it for my needs but was a headache at first.
On the iPhone the lower value rages were hard to move and see the value so even simply changing to “01” was a struggle. Cycling through custom CC is also cumbersome on both iPad and iPhone again on the iPhone it’s hard to control the scroll. I accidentally changed MIDI output “many” times trying to cycle through the Custom presets (and it auto saved before I realized).
I like being able to change button colors however tapping to change doesn’t work well for me. I would rather see all colors including current selected and maybe add alpha numeric for future releases. I WISH IT HAD a snap function (it does not) with toggle. And lastly, It does work on older devices running ios11 however would be cool if it could run on even older devices. I’d have this app running everywhere & It would look handsome lol
Nice job
Keep up the great work!!!!
Thanks
