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

Hm

dotdotdot444 on

Germany

Erlaubt einem die offenbar hässlichsten User Interfaces zu laden, die man sich überhaupt vorstellen kann. Also das was ich da sehen kann ohne gleich Geld per Endlos-Abo zu berappen ist insuffizient für eine Entscheidung zum Kauf und das ewige nach Geld bettelnde Popup nervt dabei immens. Dafür gleich 150 Euro auszugeben ist ja wohl aberwitzig.

subscription? no thanks

th0ll on

Germany

Apparently this app was buy-once keep forever before switching to a subscription model in 2024. 60 EUR/year is a joke, the functionality can be approximated using other apps that cost a significantly lower one time fee.

Suddenly I'm supposed to pay monthly

HannesO81 on

Germany

I bought Midi Designer 3 years ago for the full price to operate hardware synths and found the app very suitable for this. Now I'm supposed to pay monthly to be able to use the same functions even though I paid the full price back then? I find that pretty unfair and dubious. Please make a new version with a subscription model and keep the old version in the AppStore, without further updates if you like.

Leider jetzt nur ABO

War bisher meine bevorzugte App. Werde mir jetzt mal die Konkurrenz wie z.B. Touch OSC anschauen.

Connection zu MacBook und Logic sehr kompliziert

DJ Favour on

Germany

Ich verstehe nicht warum diese Software sich so kompliziert und schwer tut eine Connection zu Logic Pro x auf zu bauen. Starte ich andere MIDI Tools wie das Logic Remote von Apple oder auch den midi Controller von Omnisphere, geht alles sofort. Nur Midi Designer Pro baut keine Connection einfach auf. Warum so kompliziert??? Das ganze für über 20 Euro?? Sorry, irgendwie bin ich echt traurig, denn die Idee ist mega aber selbst mit direkter Kabel Verbindung klappt es nicht immer zuverlässig. Schade ☹️

Top MIDI controller app

RayAsken on

Germany

I'm very fresh into the "own MIDI controller" App world and have been working my way through a lot of reviews and videos and have tested a few apps. Many of the apps I couldn't get working at all, were ancient (several years without updates) or are about to EOF. Was already pretty frustrated and wanted to bury the idea. I still had one app - MIDI Designer - and a hit! Exactly what I was looking for - installation and connection to the MAC is easy kids (unlike Windows, here setting up a BLE MIDI or WIFI connection is a science in itself, but therefor MIDI Designer can not help it - in a pinch, a cable connection is always possible). Access to the software is very easy and the first templates and controllers are created in no time (thanks to a good tutorial at the initial start). However, the easy start should not hide the complexity and diverse possibilities of the controller designs. In any case, my social life is currently being badly affected, because I first have to create controllers for all my devices ;) If now an editor for Windows is added, I'll be happy as a clam 😉 Keep it up!! ✌🏼

Not Bad …but some Missing

Nicht zu gebrauchen!

Super Spiel :):):) on

Germany

Sobald man einen Regler bewegt stürzt das Programm ab! Teurer Schrott!

Zur Zeit nutzlos, weil kein Layout geladen werden kann

Nordi22 on

Germany

Egal welches Layout ich lade, ich bekomme immer einen Fehler angezeigt und danach einen leeren Bildschirm. iPad Pro, aktuelles iOS

Poor features for the price

Eddy Snow on

Germany

Very basic things are working ok but it lacks advanced features like global variables, sending messages to other controls, toggle groups for buttons and many more. Look at the app tbmidistuff to see how it should be done. (Except for the crash bug of course) Despite that, the form and color of the controls are looking ugly and there’s no way to change that.
