MIDI Designer Pro X

Custom MIDI Controller

Published by: Confusion Studios

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

THE MIDI controller design environment

PJT333 on

Australia

To counter TheFosil, in this new era of Mac/iPad music creation, this app is a control powerhouse!!! Does everything reasonably expected of it and MUCH more. It CONTROLS your sound making on iPad, iPhone and now cross platform on Mac as well. May be Mseries only, I’ll have to check…

Sounds much better than it is

TheFosil on

Australia

Don't buy this. Just don't. If you want to make your own layouts or do anything good at all you have to buy the extras pack, after spending $50 which is one of the highest app prices i've ever seen. Oh yeah, and after I emailed support who said they would priovide me a promo code, they blocked my email adderss so i couldn't respond.

Powerful program and very responsive support.

Gwilli06 on

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.

I love this App

super flexible and customizable , solid connection, easy and intuitive to design and use.

Made my rig more live

StLucia jams on

Australia

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!

cornerbog on

Australia

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

Australia

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!

Best Midi application in the App Store

Pastor Chelsey on

United States

I cannot produce, engineer, or play in church without it. This app is so crucial to my workflow. It is a true shame that Apple continues to dwarf or limit hardware. Apps like this one open and empower that hardware again!

thank you : ) finally we can use this app as it has been
