To connect to a laptop:
- Drag finger down from top of Android screen.
- Select "USB for Charging" icon.
- Select "MIDI".
- Launch this "MIDIKeyboard" app.

Ratings and reviews

Instructions need updating as they are not clear. If anyone else gets stuck you need to make sure developer options are enabled on your phone and then there's an option in there to change USB from charging to midi. The instructions make it seam like you do it from the pull down USB options you get after plugging the cable in which is incorrect. You need to activate this in developer options every time you plug it in.

Every time I come back think this one is the best free simple midi-NPRS input over never possible to set ubridge or adb payed apps. User TCL B wrote some insanity. You can't ever get sounds from a "controller" per se! Better read first before installing and missjudging a great product! Records midi data not audio!

great app, its the only one ive found that acts as a usb midi keyboard without needing wifi links. it would be great if you could add some sliders for pitch and modulation etc so we can control other midi events usinf the same protocols your using now as they work as expected, thanks a million
