About this app

DAW IT provides you with MIDI utilities such as: [Faders], [3D Pads], [Buttons], [Key Switches], [Aftertouch], [Sustain] and [Hold].

Requirements:
This app uses the USB port of your mobile device to send MIDI messages to your DAW. Compatible with Android 6 or later versions of Android. No extra drivers or hardware are needed.

Unlike other apps on the market, you can save any group of functions as Presets inside a file which is called Profile. Each Profile can hold multiple Presets, so it’s very easy to group them and share them with your friends or co-workers.

You can fully control the expression of your software synthesizers by assigning MIDI controllers to any function depending on your soft synths capabilities. Of course, you can do the same for your hardware synths if you connect them to your DAW.

[Faders]:
Add up to 40 faders per preset, organize them into groups of your favorite instruments or effects and assign to them their corresponding MIDI controllers. Name each group with a text label. Customize the look by selecting fader type, fader color, background color, number of rows and more.

[3D Pads]:
Usually the XY Pads let you control 2 MIDI Controllers with 1 finger on a square surface. With our app you can use a second finger to control a 3rd MIDI controller, that's why we call this function 3D Pads. Imagine to control Dynamics, Expression and Vibrato Depth of a Cello section, all in real time.

[Buttons]:
120 buttons per Preset, each button has two states (MIDI Controller and Program change), that you can swap on the fly one by one or all together. As a result this gives you 240 buttons in total, 120 per panel of the same state or mixed up. This is the right place to setup a Generic MIDI Remote Control for your DAW.

[Key Switches]:
Have you noticed that many soft synths use the lower or upper octaves as switches for the user to change the sound state? For example you can change your Violins section from Legato to Pizzicato or Spiccato with just a touch. DAW IT provides you with all 10 1/2 octaves to use as Key Switches.

[Aftertouch], [Sustain] and [Hold]:
Do you own a small or cheap MIDI keyboard without Aftertouch or Sustain pedal? Just tap the AT button on DAW IT and enjoy the use of one Aftertouch fader and two buttons, Sustain and Hold.

Ratings and reviews

if you have the time to learn the ins and outs of MIDI, this is the exploded interface you always wanted. infinitely customizable to every use-case imaginable, and a community that does the work for you in some cases. alot of good community support and just what I was looking for to turn my phone and it's awesome touch-screen into the midi-controller I always knew it could be... I just haven't found the time to realize that potential. I still see the value and give 5 stars anyways.

Truth be told, I bought it under a mistaken assumption about what it was for, but I appreciated the mission from a technical perspective and can see this is a quality piece of work from a specialist development studio. I had to do a refund and wanted to avoid being some algorithm statistic counting against them, so I'm rating 5 with no regrets. It is not DAW, it's me. As barely even a hobbyist musician, I look forward to maybe having an opportunity to exploring midi devices and this app someday

Just awesome! + edit: Thank you for this free app!!! I love the design and on a phone I get to have 7 cm sliders (cc 1, 2 and 11 automation)... perfect! To note that sliders can be assigned manually to whatever DAW knob or automatically by choosing the controller number which is the cc channel. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is that after any edit I have to unselect the midi port then selecting the available option again. Once the setup is done I'm good to go for later projects.
