MIDI Designer Pro X - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

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.

The best

For me, It’s the best midi controller you can find on iOS. You can download a lot of layout at the forum.

KILLER!!!!!!!!

Total show control. Multiple apps, multiple iPads, video output, the best $40 ever spent. DESTROYS Lemur, and unlike Lemur,these guys are constantly improving it.

Horrible about everything, but very powerful. Too bad no alternatives.

I can only regret that it’s the only app on the market that can do so much on midi control. Everything about this app is quirky and I cannot imagine experience using any app that could be worse than this. Literary every feature is hidden or hard to find in the least logical area or menu. The menus are hard to read or understand It seems like the hidden agenda of the author is to make fun of common sense and his users. Feels really depressing to be stuck with just this one offering on the whole iOS app market.

Never connects to network

Had this app since it came out and i have never had it connect once to my network or computer. Booooooo!

Greatest MIDI app.

I've been searching for long time to find MIDI controler for iPad to manage my music gears (LINE6 PODHD500, DT50, TC Electronic NOVA System, Roland GR55, etc). MIDI Designer is THE tool I was looking for. Designing layouts is so easy, It takes only minutes to build basic controls. Only limitation is your imagination. MIDI Designer support is 5 star. Conceptors are open to new idea, making sure MD will evolve and be there for many years to come. New MDP2 version is amazing. Many enhancements that MIDI users will surely appreciate like PICKER control that allows users to create complex layouts with few controls.

Unique

Unique, powerful, useful, wonderful.

The best midi controller

This is such a great app and the developer is still very involved. I'm impressed with how I got a response within hours of asking a question on a Sunday. Just buy this app already!

Controller for "Show Cue Systems"

I use this app to control a program called show cue system. It runs my bands backing tracks and midi files responsible for operating my lighting rig, guitar and keyboard rig as well as a few other automated systems. This app does what it says, very easy to grasp and to operate. My only wish is that there were an option to 'scroll' through a list of text. For example, I have 90+ songs to trigger, it would be great if I could create a text list, assign each text object a program change and the scroll through the list. Right now I have to change pages or banks within the program to access all the song/text items. Worth the money though for its customization.

A Great Solution!!

This is a powerful and intuitive app that delivers everything it says it will. I got it after looking for ways to control 3rd party plug ins in a sequencer for guitar in live performance situations. I needed power and flexibility in a controller that wasnt keyboard based and would play nicely with other hardware. There is a learning curve but that reflects the depth of features. The simple stuff is pretty straight forward to get going. The tutorial resources are good and the service response from the company is excellent. I had a question and the owner emailed me back in under an hour. This app will do everything except walk the dog. Cheers!

The dream

If you are a musician and you own an iPad, there is ZERO reason for you to be passing up on Midi Designer. Think about it…the cheapest MIDI controller you can buy will be at least $150 and a one trick pony. This can be everything you need it to be in one device. I honestly can't imagine working without it at this point. I had a couple issues setting it up initially but the developer got back to me within 15 minutes and the solution was minor (and not MD related). DON'T THINK TWICE!
