About this app

AB MIDI Router is a modular MIDI command center built for Arabic maqam musicians and professional performers. Built for speed and stability, it offers unparalleled flexibility in routing, layering, and real-time microtonal adjustments.

Whether you are performing live on stage or producing in the studio, AB MIDI Router bridges your hardware and software instruments into one powerful ecosystem.

Key Features:

Advanced Combo Performance:
Layer sounds from multiple sources simultaneously. Route your MIDI input to several outputs (Multi-Out) like Korg, Kontakt, Juzi Sound, and more, creating rich, multi-timbral textures. Each instrument slot features independent Volume, Octave, and Note Transpose controls.

Real-Time Microtuning & Scales:
• Scale Library: Access and save your favorite Arabic Maqam (Rast, Hijaz, Bayati, Saba), Balkan, or custom scales.
• Precision Tuning: Adjust every note from -100 to +100 cents. (Note: Set your hardware/VST Pitch Bend Range to 2 for accurate microtuning).
• Smart Transpose: Shift octaves or transpose notes in real-time without losing your microtuning settings.
• Terca (Major/Minor): Instantly trigger harmonies with dedicated Major and Minor third functions.

Modular & Unlimited Interface:

Smart Configuration:
• MIDI Learn: Forget manual CC mapping. Use the intelligent MIDI Learn feature to assign hardware controls instantly.
• Configurable Side Buttons: Quick-access buttons and sliders that you can map via long-press (2 seconds) to your most-used functions.
