Description

MIDI Designer Pro X (MDPx) is the culmination of over a decade of continuous improvements. In 2012, we launched MIDI Designer Pro, which we relaunched in 2016 as MIDI Designer Pro 2. MDP2 was the first and only professional-grade MIDI controller built natively for iOS, earning widespread critical acclaim. Since launch, we have released over 80 updates, greatly expanding features and functionality. Our library of user-created content now covers over 300 MIDI targets covering a vast array of music-making gear and software. In 2024, we take a significant leap forward with MDPx. This release elevates the user experience to new heights on iPad and Mac -- including a new, expressive theme called "Spaceship" -- while advancing usability massively for iPhone users. A new subscription model — Premium — allows even more users to use the App in their music-making and discover the App Store's best MIDI controller for themselves.

MIDI Designer Pro X Reviews

Powerful program and very responsive support.

Gwilli06 on

Australia

There was only one thing I thought I couldn't achieve with MIDI Designer. It turns out I was wrong! The support was super responsive and helped me achieve *everything* I wanted Midi designer to do for me. I now have a MIDI Footswitch pedal that I don't need to reprogram everytime I try a new experiment - all I do now is reconfigure Midi designer, which is miles easier to configure then my complicated pedal! Powerful program and very responsive support. Fully recommend it to anyone having the MIDI control probs and configuration issues I was previously having.

Made my rig more live

I’m using this to control an assortment of hardware & software (iPad) synths & Nord Electro for my live rig. A bit of a learning curve but well worth the effort! iPad rules all now - with AUM and MidiFire Stream Byter in-between.

Just brilliant!

I really don’t know how I survived without this in the studio for the 4 years I’ve been using an iPad to run it all. The internal designer is addictive once you get into it, and it will totally change your workflow when writing. I drive 80/90s synths and a racks of Eurorack (via midi converters etc) all together. I can create panels on the fly and it basically lets me perform any kind of control I need. Seriously...just buy it, for the price it’s a must have bit of kit for even the smallest midi studio. Note to the developer...you’re a total legend, I owe you a beer. (Used on an iPad Pro iOS 10, tested fine, no crashing)

Best controller"

Patcod on

I use this with Reaper and it has been brilliant! Great App. Of the controllers I have tried this is the best. Best $20 I have spent on any app!

The perfect midi controller!

Trasswoman on

Australia

This midi controller has amazing scope in the way that you can not only customize your perfect midi rig, but you can control what you need, when you need it. You can create incredibly complex midi set ups and control them with a simple interface, or create a multi- page interface that gives you accurate control over everything. There is also a virtual pedal board option to extend the capabilities even further, but the power to control all your gear is worth the experience. From effect control to hardware and DAWs, this app allows for the most efficient control possible, you just have to design it the way you want it, every option is possible. This is the most impressive update so far, such incredible scope!

Interesting BUT

EC0SMINU on

I payed for a whole app without constant access denied to the other quintessential pages of this app which could make it in fact a highly versatile and effective midi control solution;BUT apparently i have to pay twice to get an usable app...more fluff than anything else at this point...

Big ups to the developers!

Tony’s Uncle on

United States

Loving the snap-to-value-over-time and accelerometer functionality. Plus the incredible support behind the app. Huge value for the money—punches way above its weight.

Amazing 🤙🏻👏🏻

I love it👏🏻easy to use is a most tool to have

Poorly handled move to subscriptions

wareismike on

United States

[Update 2024-02-21] The developer has listened and will let existing users continue to use the features they purchased. Kudos to the developer for listening and for making things right! [earlier review] I have mixed feelings writing this. I’ve received outstanding value from Midi Designer over the years. However, the way of handling the move to subscription model was very poor! You just don’t take functionality away from a product after the fact when someone purchased it! At the very least they should have placed a big fat warning on the update that triggered this! Ideally they should have stopped sales of the app and launched a new one. The reasons they gave for not doing that are bogus IMO. So … deleting the app on principle. Thanks for the many years of great work though.
