Description
Pro-Grade MIDI Controller
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.

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.

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.
