MIDI Aid vs MGP

MIDI Aid is a MIDI monitor: connect your MIDI devices and see every incoming event in one clean, technical view. Whether you are debugging a synth patch, checking a controller mapping, or just curious what your gear is sending, MIDI Aid shows you what is really happening on the wire. CAPTURE • Live event log with precise timestamps • Start, pause, and resume capturing at any time • Clear the log with one tap • Follow mode keeps the newest events in view UNDERSTAND • Every event decoded into plain language: notes with names and velocities, controllers with their standard names, program changes, aftertouch, pitch wheel, and more • Raw status and data bytes side by side with the decoded event • Hex or decimal display, your choice • Tap any event for a detail view including the full raw bytes FILTER • Focus on what matters: filter by device, event type, and MIDI channel • Channel events, system common events, and system real time events can be toggled individually • Mute noisy events like Timing Clock or Active Sensing with one tap DEVICES • Works with USB MIDI devices out of the box • Network MIDI sessions and Bluetooth MIDI devices set up at system level appear automatically MIDI Aid supports all 16 MIDI channels, running status, and System Exclusive messages. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your MIDI data never leaves your device. MIDI Aid only counts anonymously which features are used; a random install ID is added only if you allow it.

MGP-2 Makk Guitar Processor is a modern AUv3 guitar processor built for live performance and DAW production. Designed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, MGP-2 provides a consistent tone workflow across devices: capture ideas on mobile and continue production on desktop with the same sound character. 【Highlights】 Now fully supporting Neural Amp Modeler Architecture 2 (A2) files! MGP-2 brings the latest generation of Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) playback directly to your device. Combined with the brand-new Dual NAM slots (Pedal + Amp) and Cabinet IR simulator, you can run high-fidelity amp models and shape your ultimate guitar tones completely offline, anywhere you go. Core processing chain • Input Level • Amp Section (Off / Solid State / Tube / NAM) • Cabinet IR (Standard): load .wav impulse responses with convolution • EQ and drive shaping • Noise gate (NAM idle hiss and input chain) • Chorus • Pre-emphasis • Mic Simulation • Stereo Width • Output Level Key features • AUv3 plug-in workflow for compatible host apps • NAM amp modeling (Standard): Neural Amp Modeler Architecture 2 (A2) compatible .nam files • Dual NAM slots: Pedal and Amp — load separate models, per-slot bypass, and Input/Output gain (Pedal → Amp when both are loaded) • Cabinet IR simulator (Standard): load .wav IRs, recent history, and recall with user presets • Noise gate for cleaner NAM and input-chain playing • Fast, low-latency real-time processing • Preset workflow for quick recall • Unified UI across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS Editions Free • Basic processing workflow with limited controls • NAM amp mode and cabinet IR are not available in Free Standard (subscription or lifetime purchase) • Full gain/effect controls while subscribed or after lifetime purchase • NAM amp modeling: A2-compatible .nam load/unload, Pedal + Amp dual slots, recent history per slot, and metadata-based In/Out gain when available • Cabinet IR: load, unload, and manage .wav impulse responses • On-device, offline AI-assisted Tone Match: approximate starting points for MGP-2 parameters (EQ, Pre-emphasis, Mic, and more) from a selected .nam reference — not a full NAM clone; available in Solid State and Tube amp modes only • Advanced tone-shaping controls and expanded parameter access, including selectable Low/High dB pre-emphasis presets • Future Standard feature updates included during active subscription Pricing • Free: Available with feature limitations • Standard: Price varies by region and is shown in-app in your local currency Subscription notes • Auto-renewable subscription • Billed amount is shown in-app before purchase • Manage or cancel subscriptions in App Store account settings Compatibility • iOS / iPadOS 16.0 or later, or macOS 13.0 or later • AUv3-compatible host app required for plug-in usage (e.g. GarageBand, Logic Pro, MainStage; Makk host on Mac) Privacy All audio processing, NAM/IR loading, and AI tone assistance run locally on your device; no network connection is required. Imported .nam and .wav files are used only for on-device processing.
