MIDI Controller

D.S Apps

About this app

Your phone turns into an USB Midi controller for controlling software (eg audio workstations / DAWs) and hardware (eg synthesizer, light show, ...) via USB.

All common MIDI information can be sent,
including all music notes and all possible control change values.
Build your own workspace from scratch.
All controls are fully customizable.

- Simple, customizable keyboard with speed and channel controls
- Customizable buttons (one-shot and on / off) for sending control information
- Customizable sliders
- Multiple view options (therefore also optimal for tablets)

More than 500 buttons and sliders can be added
which work on 16 different midi channels. That way, you can create your own interface with any controls you need.

Control your DAW, your synthesizer, or whatever you want to work with.

Example DAW (Digital Audio Workstation):
Add a new midi control
Assign these to functionality in your audio program via midi mapping.
MIDI controller can now control the assigned functionality - eg volume slider, effect ON / OFF, recording start and much more.

Ratings and reviews

Barely tells you how to set the app up and you have to do extensive research on your phone on how to get in to developer mode and then find where your phone has the usb midi setting at , 3 stars because I was expecting an easy plug and play for almost $4 instead I had to dive in to several chrome searches on my own to figure out how to get it to work because the tutorial video is basically false information and way too short without explaining really anything. Works great when you get there tho

This had potential to be the best MIDI controller in the store but it seems it's not being actively developed. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to buy a hardware controller and doesn't mind some limitations such as small text sizes on buttons, a limited colour palette and inability to rearrange buttons from the order of their creation. Apart from these issues, the app functions wonderfully for any MIDI CCs you care to set up.

So far this app seems almost perfect for my needs, with the only drawback being that it seems unable to also receive values. I wanted it to not only control but also to "be controlled". For example, if I use the app to change a slider on a software running on my computer, when I drag the slider on the app, the slider on the software follows it. What I also wanted, though, is for the slider on the app to also move if I drag the slider on the software, similar to those physical MIDI controllers with motorized faders. I guess it shouldn't be hard to implement (if it's not already in there), and I've seen other apps with this functionality. And if it was able to connect wirelessly, say for example using rtpMIDI, it would help a lot.
