TouchDAW is a full-featured DAW controller plus some general purpose MIDI tools and options to create your own custom controllers.
This is a MIDI controller! The app does not itself play or record audio!
Try before buy! Free demo available for testing.
Supports Cubase / Nuendo, Live, Logic, Pro Tools, Sonar, FL Studio, REAPER, Reason, Studio One, Samplitude, SAWStudio Digital Performer (7.2+), Vegas / Acid, Tracktion, Bitwig, Ardour & Mixbus workstations. Standard functionality like mixer and transport operation will be accessible in other applications with basic control surface support as well. As of version 1.1 the app can also send MIDI Machine Control (MMC) in parallel with or alternatively to standard DAW control.
Besides control surface emulation, the app brings a number of general purpose MIDI controllers, such as a multitouch MIDI keyboard, multitouch launchpads, a MIDI mixer, configureable xy-controller pads and the possibility to link a phone's sensors to MIDI controllers.
TouchDAW works with RTP or multicast MIDI over WiFi and is directly compatible with Apple's Network MIDI implementation in Mac OS X, Tobias Erichsen's rtpMIDI driver for Windows and ipMIDI (resp. multimidicast or qmidinet on Linux). There is no computer side server or protocol conversion software other than the driver required.
Class compliant MIDI interfaces are supported on devices with Usb host mode. Direct device to PC Usb connectivity is available both via the Android 6 MIDI Api as well as over tethered USB connections or ADB. A free driver, available from our website, is required for some of the proprietary solutions.
The apk contains both tablet and phone versions. Most recent phones will let you alternatively use the tablet layout.
Please try before you buy! The free version is mostly identical and will let you check if things are useable with your network setup before spending money.
The app needs some initial PC-side configuration, please see website for help.

Great app, very flexible. I'm using it to send midi messages to an HX Stomp with the XY-Pads. Excellent customer support.
Very useful app to control your favorite DAW or MIDI instruments. I use it for many years and like the XML customizations to create your own interfaces. Especially on langer tablets and supports smaller screens as well. App is well maintained by the developer. Highly recommended. Read the usage/setup instructions carefully at xmmc.de. Thanks!
The best in its class - incomparable.
Great app for controlling Reaper.
I just needed a transport controller (record, play, stop) for Live 11 that would work when another app is focused on Windows 11. Looking at control surfaces but the cheapest one is ~$50 and has a bunch of faders or pads that I don't need and takes up space that I don't have on my desk. I just need a play button so I can start the song again while I'm using the guitar amp's app to dial in presets. This app does it for only $5.
Brilliant app.
Works on Reaper 6.8 for controls but also as a drum pad! I've been using Reaper for about 8 days now. I enter midi using a Yamaha P-125B (88 full-size weighted keys) which meant finger drumming was very awkward. So, needed a drum pad solution. To my surprise, TouchDAW not only controls Reaper's basic functions, but also has a keyboard and drum pad that works great. Totally worth the cost of this app.
