ZMDX Player vs DAW Controller

ZMDX Player (formerly MDX Flow) is a lightweight, modern music player for X68000 MDX and Z-MUSIC songs, built for macOS and iOS. It synthesizes YM2151 (OPM) FM voices and ADPCM (PCM) samples from PDX (and Z-MUSIC ADPCM) banks using a product-owned driver/emulator. Features - Faithful playback through a product-owned driver/emulator - Z-MUSIC playback (.zmd / .z3s / .zms). Beyond compiled .zmd files, it plays MML source (.z3s / .zms) directly, with no separate compile step - Z-MUSIC playback is unlocked by an optional one-time add-on; locked Z-MUSIC songs play a 20-second preview - Loads songs directly from iCloud Drive and other Files storage providers (.mdx / .pdx, Z-MUSIC .zmd / .z3s / .zms / .zpd, plus the compressed .mdx.szip / .pdx.szip) - Folder and playlist views, looping marquee titles, a keyboard visualizer - Search by title or file name (AND, "phrases", and exclusion; full-width and half-width are treated the same) - In-song loop (a set number of times, or infinite) plus playlist repeat/shuffle - Optional loudness normalization (EBU R128, off by default) with a selectable target (-16 / -18 / -14 LUFS) to even out volume between songs - Optional aperture correction for PCM (restores up to −3.9 dB of treble lost in D/A conversion); off by default — the raw stepped output the original hardware emits - Now Playing integration (Control Center, Lock Screen, menu bar) - Adjustable text size (accessibility) and a Japanese/English switch Pricing and privacy - No ads, ever. MDX playback and every core feature are free — no purchase required. - Z-MUSIC playback is an optional one-time add-on (Family Sharing supported) — the only purchase that unlocks a feature. An optional Tip Jar also lets you support development; tips unlock nothing. - No tracking or analytics. An optional community feature (off by default) shares only an anonymous device ID and basic song info (title, length, loudness) when enabled — never your music files, file names, or playback history. Everything else stays on your device. Please play only MDX / PDX files that you own or are licensed to use.

Your sleeping iPhone becomes a wheel and fader controller for your DAW. Digital pianos and synths often have no Pitch Bend or Modulation wheel. Dedicated hardware is hard to find, and small keyboards with wheels tend to feel awkward or fiddly to set up. DAW Controller is a pure MIDI controller built to fill exactly that gap. ■ Six controls Pitch Bend / Modulation / Expression / Main Volume / Breath / Custom CC. Big wheels let you send nuance with a fingertip. ■ Three ways to your DAW Network MIDI, Bluetooth MIDI, and USB. No OSC bridge, no extra conversion — it reaches your Mac DAW (Cubase and others) directly. ■ Haptics you can feel on a desk Solid haptic feedback that comes through even with the phone lying flat. ■ Fits your hands Manual portrait/landscape switch, a left- or right-side control panel in landscape, and fader looks (metal / color / matte). ■ Nothing extra No ads. No subscription. Buy once. Try it first, and if you like it, pay once — for good. DAW Controller — to be your obbligato.
