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! -- Pastor Chelsey, 2024-11-27 ### ****- ": )" thank you : ) finally we can use this app as it has been -- Hulu Frog, 2024-10-24 ### ***** "As A Long Time User. I Love This MIDI app !" I wasn’t dinged with a subscription after updating. I was very worried as I can’t afford that and have used this mostly for my Roland JD-990 for a long long time. For panels that don’t exist, I think it might not be a bad idea for the developers to create their own to sell as IAPs. Still hoping for the JV-2080, etc. The UI is cleaner and the app is faster Dan was helpful with explanations that if you bought it from 2012 - 2024 and you’re using the same AppStore account, you’re automatically upgraded with no subscription. That worked without any issues. Or, you’d have to contact him to sort it out. I look forward to using this highly versatile app. The best MIDI synthesizer controller app I have used. -- AshFallenBrightly, 2024-08-06 ### ***** "Big ups to the developers!" 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. -- Tony’s Uncle, 2024-03-17 ### ***** "Amazing 🤙🏻👏🏻" I love it👏🏻easy to use is a most tool to have -- Horatime, 2024-03-01 ### ****- "Poorly handled move to subscriptions" [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. -- wareismike, 2024-02-21 ### *---- "Bait and switch!" Apple needs to pull this app for violating the App Store agreement. Dan is moving this to a subscription model, and the app you pay/paid for will eventually not work unless you cough up a subscription. Same app. Not a new app, but they are going to break/nerf the app YOU ALREADY PAID FOR AND THOUGHT YOU OWNED after a “loyalty” period. Complete joke. Completely unethical. Probably illegal. Hopefully Dan comes to his senses or Apple yanks the app altogether for violating App Store policies. Shameful… -- MusixMonkey, 2024-02-15 ### ***** "Steep learning curve, but extremely versatile." It really isn’t difficult once you understand it, but the interface definitely takes some getting used to. Once you do, you’ll be able to whip up a custom control set in no time. I’ve barely scratched the surface so far. My semi modular synth only had a couple of assignable parameters, but there are over a dozen different options for one of the outputs on the patch bay that is buried deep in a menu (on a synth with no screen). I quickly figured out how to make a grid of buttons to send out the program change signal for each one. Now I can change the parameter instantly without having to even open the menu. The app is definitely function over form, but gives you the tools to quickly design and program a MIDI control surface for your hardware and software synths, and any other conceivable use for it. Not to mention the integration with a MIDI-based scripting language. The possibilities really do seem endless. I do hope the interface is easier to navigate in future updates. It is very difficult to make things look nice, and feels like the interface works against you. However, the devs are still active and frequently updating. I can imagine they have plans to streamline everything once they have most of the functionality set and major bugs squashed. -- Acksnth, 2024-02-08 ### ***** "Midi ProX for Korg Volgas & Logic" This app is amazing and is organized exceptionally well. I purchased MIDI Designer Pro X for better control over Volca Beats/Bass and in order to tweak Logic Pro. I send all of my MIDI signals through my Mac which makes it a super easy process. As a beginner having the Korg layout as a starting point was ideal. Ive been loving playing with this in my studio, and I’m stoked to use it at an outdoor event next. I’m utilizing just the free version for now, but am excited to crack open the premium when I get to my next level -- Emilly Flynn, 2024-02-06 ### ***** "Amazingly versatile controller" Gotta say, made this app running on my iPad mini the absolute centerpiece of my entire elaborate rig--and I couldn't be happier. When I use an "ad hoc" connection to my Mac mini, performance is ROCK solid. Amazing. Thanks a ton! -- iOSmusicMAKER, 2024-02-06 [View all MIDI Designer Pro X reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## MIDI Designer Pro X In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Automatic Backups | $1.99 | | Extra Features Pack | $4.99 | | MDPx Premium iPad Only | $24.99 | | MDPx Premium iPhone Only | $14.99 | | MDPx Premium iPad, iPhone | $29.99 | | Audeonic Stream Byter Plugin | $4.99 | | MDPx Premium Mac, iPad, iPhone | $4.99 | ## MIDI Designer Pro X Discovered Keywords -
