About this app

Midi Commander lets you send MIDI message through a usb-connected MIDI interface.
Define the MIDI messages (control change, program change) associated with each button, and use them to change patches and control a midi keyboard or similar midi equipment.

After setting the EDIT switch to ON, use long click on a button to change its values and the transmitted values. Other functions can be accessed via menu'.

The latest version of Midi Commander (in .apk format) is also available here (in case you experience server problems in downloading it from the Play Store):

IMPORTANT NOTE: the Android device MUST BE CAPABLE of acting as USB-HOST. So, please, do not rate the app with a low score if the connected midi device is not recognized: it might be that your android device does not work in USB-HOST mode.

Also, the MIDI device must be class-compliant (that is, no driver must be required to use its USB-MIDI functionality).

Here is a list of compatible (and tested) devices:

Known issues:

- If the connected MIDI device is correctly recognized (its name is correctly displayed on top of the window of Midi Commander), but the midi commands are not executed by the Midi device, try with a different ID cable number in the Global Settings (so far, we experienced this only with a Korg Microkorg XL keyboard). We plan to have the correct ID cable automatically set.

- We experienced issues with Clavia Nord Keyboards: sometimes the midi commands are not executed by the keyboard.

Ratings and reviews

Overall excellent app very easy to customize and easy to use. Straightforward midi information. I'm looking into a tablet now for all these soft apps I keep buying lol. BIG PROBLEM, You have two ways of accessing your menu. Redundant AND incredibly inconvenient. If you use any button or slider far left of the screen, The buttons overlap with the trigger area of the menu. If anything, change that to bank switching. DUDE! Give us gesture customization in the options! Think it over and fix menu.

Very cool! 2021 Still the best! Phone with OTG-USB to MIDI works fantastic for me. I put together a GUI for my Moog Theremini in about an hour. Same for my Roland JD-Xi. Also using it via OTG-USB MIDI cheap adapter to my BOSS SY-300 as a patch changer from my old phone strapped to my guitar. GREAT APP! Love the simple UI, takes all the mystery away, no real programming required, just fill in my parameters, back to making music. Simple and powerful!

This *was* the best MIDI controller app available. It worked fine until the last year or so. Crashes when searching for BLE devices on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. It is OK on other devices, such as Samsung Galaxy S10 Tab Ultra. No comms or updates from developer, so sadly, this app appears to be abandonware at the moment.
