MIDI Designer Pro X

I use this app to remotely control MIDI enabled guitar pedals and it’s perfect. Saves a lot of menu diving and fiddling with controls.

Nightmare to create midi streams from one button. I followed instructions and the drag into Supercontrols doesn’t work. No reply from support either. UPDATE. Tried to get back into this but it is so unintuitive…constantly having to read the manual which is ok but takes a lot of time. Why do my tabs change sides and then have the same tab on both sides….nightmare.

This is the only way I have ever successfully set up sysex panels to open up the functionality of my Roland synths and guitar multi-fx. There's a learning curve, and some aspects of the design process that feel a bit labour intensive, but it's all so worth it once you have a working panel. I'm really grateful to the devs who gave such worthwhile attention to sysex functionality, even allowing some feedback to the controls. Highly reccommended.

Using MIDI Designer Pro I built an interface with literally hundreds of controls that operate all the Logic key commands that I commonly use. It really helps my workflow. I also included faders for recording control data to control my third party plugins. I love it.

Absolute, absolute, absolute garbage. Got to be the worst app I’ve ever spent money on . Want my money back

I spent most of the last 5 days building a touch controller for my Eurorack. I started with OSC but stopped using that when I discovered it doesn’t do 14 bit CC, SysEx or anything than basic messages. I looked at a few others but these again had limited implementation. I found MidiDesigner and it has almost everything I need! It does Regular cc, 14 bit cc, nrpn, sysex, midi transport. When I finished doing the basics I wanted one button to send a mute to the others, it has that! And it has presets! This is great on Eurorack, I can setup my CV modulators and save them, really lots of potential. I use my setup with an Expert Sleepers ES-9, the FH-1 and a couple of Disting MK4s. All editing is done on the iPad, it has CoreMidi and midi over Bluetooth LE.

MIDI Designer is what made me buy an iPad, and I am so glad I did. This is such an incredibly versatile app. If you put in the effort to learn a few MIDI skills then there are limitless possibilities. If you are just happy to use available layouts then there are lots out there. If you need help there is a very responsive community ready to assist - and the devoured is very active in this regard too. I can honestly say that this app has made an enormous difference to my ability to control my live performance rig. Highly recommended!

Well, it does for me. I have designed a layout for Fender Cyber Twin and am currently building some layouts for Lexicon PCM 80/81. I started my ipad remote control journey with Touch OSC. Midi Designer Pro 2 is just plain more powerful. Originally, I found MDP2 graphics not to my liking. I was used to the more plain TouchOSC gfx. Nevermind how it looks, though, MDP2 can do things well beyond TouchOSC. Supercontrollers being one of many assets TouchOSC doesn't have. The big difference for designing a remote control layout is how a user creates it. With TouchOSC a computer program is required to design and then upload to tablet. To create a Midi Designer layout the design is all carried out directly on ipad/ iphone. I do prefer to design on a computer where values can be typed in and elements can be nudged. It can be very tedious designing directly on a tablet. I learned to "roll" my fingers rather than drag or swipe for fine control placement. That is pretty much my only negative. Connecting via bluetooth I found to be easy. Not so much for TouchOSC. With MDP2, a set up is easily achieved without a computer, which I love. The developer has also been incredibly helpful on their forum. Super nice comms with Dan :-) For my purposes I am using a huge number of variable SysEx messages and MDP2 has handled it beautifully so far. Midi Designer Pro 2 is a fantastic app in my opinion =-D

I purchased midi designer to operate my Strymon Pedals using my IPad Pro 2019 - and save my back trying to bend down to the pedals. All those Banks and Presets !! The Strymon layout provided worked PERFECTLY - after I used the midi log to discover that the layout used channel 4 for BIGSKY and channel 3 for TIMELINE. Just set the midi channels and appropriate midi settings on the pedals and Voila !! BRILLIANT!! 5 stars from me. Would have given it six stars if the NAMES of the Presets were displayed instead of just numbers and A B C.

I have bought and tried to use many, if not all of the midi controller apps out there, many of which are incredible in their own right but for me, difficult to actually implement and use creatively. However this incredible app is SO user friendly. The UI and workflow have been created to place minimum pressure and thought cycles on the user, allowing a creative musician to just DO the things they want to to without having to think too much, or too mechanically and allow for an intuitive process to aid your music making. I just can’t say enough good things about this app. Generally I would not use iOS apps in my performances on big stages as they are just not reliable enough, but I have used this for several years on stage and it’s never let me down yet. Worth every penny. Great works!
