Send two CCs with one button - how?

Sat, 19 Jul 2025 11:20:14 +0000

I cannot figure out how to *simply create a button that sends its own MIDI CC plus a second MIDI CC. Nothing I try with super- or subcontrols works or makes any sense to me. Assistance appreciated.

Specifically, I want to send PC 0 on channel 2, and CC 1 value 2 on channel 1.

I could probably do this with StreamBbyter, but surely there must be a way to do this simply with controls inside MDP?

What happened to “Hide in Play mode”?

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 00:04:19 +0000

I recently updated to the latest version of MDP and it appears that “Hide in Play Mode” has been replaced by “Bring Up in Play Mode”. However, no matter if I have this on or off, the control is always visible in play mode. How can I fix this? Is it still possible to have hidden controls?

MDP2 fails to open an MD Pro-X layout

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 00:35:33 +0000

I opened an old layout in MDP PROx to verify it. I did not make any changes, but saved it. I mailed it to an interested user. He was unable to open it. He stated he was using MD Pro 2 (2.131) on IOS 10.3.3. The message is “…was created with a higher version of MD…”.

Is there any version of MDP Pro2 that can open a layout saved in MDP PROx?

I am not getting email responses to Q&A submitals

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 13:32:27 +0000

Lately I have submitted several Ask a questions and get no email responses. I have the Email me checked when submitting. My active email address is listed. I have to go to Q&A periodically to check for responses to questions I just submitted. Worse yet, if someone responds to an older submittal I will never know. Please check into this.

For example https://mididesigner.com/qa/9862/prox-panels-controls-duplicated-with-make-similar-behavior I have not received an email that there were responses.

I will double check the email address listed for this submittal.

In PROx, Panels with controls can be duplicated, but not with Make Similar behavior.

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 01:07:53 +0000

When I try to use Make Similar for a Panel with controls, the duplicate buttons and knobs behave as if they were copied. They track each other rather than being separate, independent controls. Copy for panels is not available. I think to avoid confusion between Copy and Make Similar for Buttons and Knobs, Make Similar should create independent controls while Copy for panels should be available to create dependent copies.

How does one duplicate a panel without Controls? That was available before PROx. I occassionally do this, but can't now.

Can the popup at the top of the iPad screen be removed when using a mouse?

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 01:05:23 +0000

The popup when using a mouse in v 2.333 blocks making a selection, such as 'more' or 'bank'. Is there a way to disable this? It doesn't happen in my Mac.

Button sub controls don't toggle properly when sending MIDI CC#'s (MDP2 Mac)

Thu, 20 Apr 2023 00:08:16 +0000

Exact functionality works on iOS but doesn't seem to work on Mac.

I need the buttons to light up as they hide/unhide their respective panel and send midi CC along with a specific midi value. It works if I change the message type don't send midi, but the minute I change the message type to send midi cc, the buttons never light up. Again... Mac only is having this issue.

Example file attached.

Oh I forgot to mention:

tested on Mac mini M2Pro w/ MDP2 2.3300 (didn't work) and recreated the test for a 'sanity check' on my iPhone 12 running MDP2 2.33 (worked fine)

MDP2 v2.3300 "more" button animates up and off the screen and "more button menu" will not reappear

Tue, 18 Apr 2023 10:17:45 +0000

Today I notice the MDP2 "more" animates up and off the screen and will not reappear when I swipe down;

only BANK button animates down (I'm using One Big Page)

MDP2 v2.3300

this is on iPad 6th gen 9.7 running 16.3.1

My MDP2 layout set to One Big Page and open in play mode....I can't look any deeper because no modes other than PLAY are available w/o the "more" button...so I can't compare to another layout without One Big Page + Change Banks Together

the problem persisted after a hard reboot of ipad

my ipad mini 5th gen running 16.2 (20C65) is not affected; although running MDP2 v2.3200 "more" button appears to function as normal

I shall update my ipad 6th gen 9.7 to iOS16.4.1

and update MDP2 to v2.3300 on my ipad mini to see if the problem persists...

EDIT- 50min later

confirmed, the more button animates up off the screen as I described above also on iOS 16.4.1

I screen recorded a launch showing this...I'll need to edit the video before I want to share it public, tho....I can send it directly if you like....

I did not yet update MDP2 on my ipad mini

How do I upload a layout in MDP in Q & A?

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 14:29:17 +0000

I can't find information about the new procedure using the Coupon Code to upload a layout from MDP. I started the he upload from MDP after Asking the Question and adding the Coupon Code but the progress bar reached about ½ way and stopped. I waited several minutes and nothing more happened. I will try again.

Incoming sysex lets MD send out sysex from super controlled controls unintentionally

Fri, 05 Nov 2021 19:08:42 +0000

I made a layout, double-checked all controls functionality (working with sysex single parameter changes) and they all work fine.

Then I created a button that would call a set of sound data from the target synth as one long sysex message. A streambyter input rule would then look up each value from the incoming message, re-create the according single parameter change again and send it to the layout. I double-checked each single control in the layout and they all adapt perfect to changed settings in the target device. So both the button for calling data as well as the input rule seem to work fine. I also looked into the log, which confirmed that data sent into the layout are correct.

However I have a few cases, where the sending control A has a supercontrol B, which is again supercontrolled by C (e.g. by a knob for grouping two buttons). Now when I send a single parameter change from the target device to MD for the function controlled by A, all controls in the supercontrol chain adapt properly to changes.

But if I call the settings from the target using the above mentioned button, where I get a long list of values, all the controls of that described chain of supercontrols start to get crazy, jump back and forth and thus create a couple new sysex messages, which are then sent back to the target.

This is of course not intended at all. The layout should just receive the data, adapt to them and not send any new messages back.

I add a screenshot from MIDI Monitor, which I use on my computer, where all devices are connected to. The first message is from the button in the layout calling the data set from the target. The second message is the (long) answer from the target device. All following messages are created and sent from the layout back unintentionally. The last three bytes before the F7 here are parameter number, parameter value and checksum. As you can see some parameters are sent repeatedly with different values.

Any idea what the problem could be? Normally when the layout receives data and adapts to them, nothing should be sent out in return.

I should probably add, that the amount of unintentionally sent data varies each time. Sometimes it is a lot more than shown in the screenshot. One single parameter can be changed 5 or 6 times.

Image Manager does not find my graphics

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:05:37 +0000

I tried to import graphic files (*.png) like I used to do before. I made the graphics on my computer, transferred them to my iPad Photo app. But when I open Image Manager in MD, it shows me only photos or screenshots taken by the iPad itself. In the Photo app I also still have graphics, which I used in an older layout (successfully), but now Image Manager won't show even those to choose from.

I checked privacy settings, MD is allowed to access "all photos".

MD version: 2.267

iPad: 14.7.1

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks!

[iPadOS 15] - Consider Removing Support for Apple's Split-Screen Mode

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 20:22:18 +0000

I am checking out 2.266 and find the banks and more menu drops down fine ... in Play, but NOT in Design mode. Still am unable to change number of banks in Design mode. Changing number of banks is often necessary when designing layouts.

Still suggest NOT supporting the Split View mode. Why does MDP need it? The current solution seems more like a work around than a desirable operation. It doesn't seem to work reliably 100% of the time. Other apps do not support it. They do not get the 3 dots at top and do not have any operational issues.

Also, the drop down menu may not stay down long enough to activate changing the number of banks in Design Mode. I am not able to test this behavior in 2.266.

The images show the layout I used where more and banks drops down in Play Mode, but not in Design Mode.

Cannot Use Transparent PNGs in iOS 14

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 03:05:51 +0000

Was: Image Manager should import images from the Files app's "MIDI Designer" folder

It would be great if the Image Manager could import images dropped into the "MIDI Designer/" folder from the Files app.

Motivation: Currently, MD's Image Manager only selects images from iOS Photos. However, there's an bug in the iOS 14 Photos app that removes transparency from PNGs (even when optimization is turned off). So I currently have no way of importing new transparent images into MIDI Designer to use in image panels.

Layout from iPhone to iPad broken; no fullscreen layout in landscape?

Sun, 15 Nov 2020 07:20:43 +0000

I have been using MidiDesigner on my iPhone for years and have a custom layout for my devices. My design is packed but fits my iPhone 7 screen great; however the layout breaks when I open the file on my iPad. Buttons near the edges are resized and moved around haphazardly. No user feedback that controls were relocated; just a very broken layout. If this isn’t a defect I don’t know what is; how can you move layouts from device to device if its display breaks without clear notification or in-app assistance?

Almost as bad, my landscape layout spills onto the right panel and as far as I can tell, I can’t scale my layout or go fullscreen (as I‘m accustomed to when using MD on my phone) unless I switch into portrait mode — I can’t do this as my iPad is fixed in place in landscape.

This is terrible user experience and will require much work for me to fix my layout to use on the iPad.

On top of this nightmare I can’t at all figure out how to go fullscreen in landscape. I do not want two panels (duplicate, blank or otherwise)! I just want to replicate the focused experience I was able to achieve in MD, but the multi-panel user interface in iPad is, sad to say, very awkward, almost unusable. I understand that some users may find it very useful, for me and surely many others, it is a monstrosity. (I hope I am wrong and there is a way to fulfill my obvious need to have a single landscape fullscreen layout, so thanks in advance for showing the exact method to have a single panel fill landscape view in iPad!)

How do I set up Dropbox automatic backups?

Mon, 28 Sep 2020 14:26:54 +0000

I purchased the option for automatic backups to Cloud (IAP), but when I click the button in Midi Designer Pro 2 on iPad, I get a blank page.

How do I use the Dropbox backup that I purchased?

Thanks.

I can not get wireless midi to work.

Fri, 08 May 2020 00:02:51 +0000

im having the hardest time getting anything to work.. i have all the meris pedals, but even just trying this on one pedal is not working. I put my Meris mercury7 set for Midi input on Channel 4.. i set mididesigner for channel 4 and everytime i go back its on channel 1. But even on TouchOsc it says its on channel 4 with no results. Im using the yamaha md bt01 wireless bluetooth adapter into a Meris i/o, into my Mercury 7

Is there a "lighter" version of MD pro 2 which I could use on my inherited iPad version 9.3.5 ?

Thu, 30 Apr 2020 13:40:53 +0000

Where has the MD folder gone from Files?

Wed, 08 Apr 2020 10:30:54 +0000

I used to be able to see the MIDI Designer data/Layouts folder under the Files app 'On My iPad'. Today it's disappeared! Have Apple done something to remove it from sight? Or is it an MD update that's done it? It was so helpful to be able to copy that folder as a safety backup. Oddly it's still there on my iPhone.

iPhone SE, Load Layout Not Working

Thu, 05 Sep 2019 14:20:33 +0000

I've also sent a support email from within the app.

I’m using an iPhone SE with iOS 12.4, MIDI Designer Pro 2 | Version 2.112 | Build 190813

The “Load” button doesn’t work, and I can’t load any saved layouts even though the app indicates there are layouts properly saved in the first few slots.

I go to Config-Actions and press “Load Layout.” I can scroll between “backup” and 001, 002, and 003. I select one, then press the “Load” button. When touching the load button, the button goes from white to gray, but nothing happens. I have to then back out to get to the play screen. The app will then load to whatever was default, but I have no access to any preset I’ve created and have to start again from scratch. Do you have any suggestions how to load a preset? Without being able to load saved work, the app is useless.

How to control subcontrol sequence (midi CC)?

Fri, 29 Mar 2019 05:30:09 +0000

Hi All,

Trying for some time now to control the sequence of midi CC by dragging the subcontrols (toggle buttons and knobs) in vertical order. (Menu of supercontrol knob —-> relationships——> subcontrols)

The midilog shows not the right order of CC messages, I verified with external midimonitoring. Are there more options to dictate the right order of subcontrols/CC message output? When using seqential option not every knob/toggle button (CC) is being send?!

Cheers,

Gurbz

Hi Guys.

I am totally new to your page. I have done some research and I'm very impressed with what you guys achieve.

Can you tell me how I get connected? Do I purchase the basic program so I can both download other members work and also start experimenting with my own projects.

Cheers

Load Layout not working (Outdated MD Version)

Mon, 13 Aug 2018 13:00:06 +0000

Using MIDI Designer Lite Unlocked | Version 1.7.1 | Build 1714 on iPad Air (original model)

I tap Load Layout.

I can see many saved layouts.

I scroll to one and tap it.

Then, tap the < arrow at the top of the box.

Regards, Dave.

The layout doesn't change.

Using "Mail Layout" also confirms that the loaded layout is still the latest one, not the layout I tried to load.

Simple stomp box on off...HOW!?!?!?!

Fri, 27 Jul 2018 18:45:20 +0000

I seem to be missing something fundamental somehow. I just want a toggle that turns on and off a stop effect in Bias FX. I have control of volume, gain, tone, etc, and the on/off switch is receiving CC23 (my chosen number) but nothing happens. The glow goggles on and off but the effect does not respond. What am I missing, thanks.

Can MIDI Designer Pro 2 control/route my live gigging rig?

Wed, 21 Mar 2018 17:59:31 +0000

I'm considering using only an iPad and two midi keyboards for my keyboard performances. I saw MIDI Designer Pro 2 and wondered if it's what I'm looking for.

Ideally, I'd like to use the following equipment:

1. two (or more) midi controllers with USB connections (connected by means of a powered USB hub)
2. one iPad (I have an ipad mini 4 and an ipad air 2, would have one as backup)
3. usb audio interface

I want a single screen that:

"knows" my iPad apps such as Gallileo, Zeeon, iGrand, iLectric (all on the same iPad)
I can design a layout that has a path for each of the keyboards (each set to a different midi channel) and be able to hit one of a few preset "buttons" on that path that will route my playing to a preconfigured app (upper keyboard might have Galileo and Zeeon, lower might always have either iGrand or iLectric)
mute button for midi activity if a keyboard is not being used (save on cpu usage)
select patches on the target soft synth app (if the app allows for patch selection)
have a rotary control that lets me transpose midi notes for different keys
lets me insert an arpeggiator and turn it on and off at will, control speed
control volume on the target app (CC7?)

Can MIDI Designer Pro 2 do that?

Can MIDI Designer read the preset names from the HD500 and then allow them to be picked from that same list?

Mon, 26 Feb 2018 04:17:01 +0000

The HD500 edit software can read the existing presets and then they can be selected. Can the same thing be accomplished via Mididesigner on an iPad?

MD to D-05 via Lightning to USB Micro Male?

Mon, 09 Oct 2017 22:17:03 +0000

I'd love to sit on my couch to program since I stand to practice/gig.

Holding off on buying the Roland Keyboard/dock until I verify.

Want to use batteries, with Roland K docked, but edit via iPad and MIDI Designer.

Lightning Male to Micro USB Male possibly?

Thanks

installing MD on ipod4

Thu, 17 Aug 2017 06:44:54 +0000

more or less the same question.

I have read on the online manual of MD that the minimum requirements are ipad/iphone/ipod touch, running at least IOS5

http://mididesigner.com/wiki/doku.php/manual:10_intro at the bottom of the page

I own a peavey at-200 guitar with the complete pack installed. I want to connect it on my ipod touch 4th generation with ios 6.1.6, so that I can control the changing of settings via the ipod instead of fret control which is pretty unreliable.

So someone told me that the latest version of MD needs IOS9 al least.

So I want to buy an older version of MD but I don't know where to findi it.

Or should I buy the latest and then you can send me something so that it will work on my ipod?

thank you and regards

Have selected NRPN 14-bit - Now having problem with ratio between Master & Slave

Wed, 14 Jun 2017 10:41:30 +0000

What I am trying to do is very simple but I am struggling, it's obviously me but I cannot grasp the logic of what is happening. Things only start going wrong when I exceed 0-127. I have set up a simple test, I created two controls (Knobs) I want them to be perfectly synchronized with ranges from 0 - 255, for MIDI as you suggested I used NRPN 14-bit for both and set MIDI ranges to 0 to 255, number of ticks is 256 ticks, have set one as Master and the other as Slave, however they do not work in a 1:1 ratio (more like 64:1), what am I doing wrong? also I only want one to send MIDI so how do I limit this ?

Thanks Lenny

Sending a bank switch command followed by a program change to a synth

Wed, 17 May 2017 21:47:55 +0000

I'm hoping to build a button group of 16 that map to my favorite synth patches. The Yamaha VL I have has 4 banks (2 with 128 patches,1 with 64, and 1 with 6). My favorite patches will not be in the same bank on the Yamaha VL. I've successfully built buttons to select banks and buttons to switch programs. But that's a two step process. I'd like to press a single button and have the bank select command sent followed by the program change.

What's the best way to implement this?

Thanks from a newbie,

Jason

Multitouch Documentation?

Thu, 11 May 2017 16:54:15 +0000

How does Midi Designer multitouch work? The release notes for version 1.5.5 say that multitouch drum pads are supported but it can't find documentation. I searched the User Manual for the term "multitouch" and it's not present.

Ideally I'd like to be able to be able to have each of multiple touches of a single drum pad send a different note number. i.e. The first finger down would send say note number 60, the next finger down would send 61, the next would send 62, the next 63, the next 64. The after all fingers are lifted the count would start again at 60. Actually it would even be acceptable for successive touches to produce alternating note numbers, say 60, 61,60, 61 ... The velocity of each note should be controlled based on touch position as is currently possible for single touch notes.

This is for use as a controller for a new type of music-playing application I'm developing. I could develop my own app with the above functionality but I'd rather used Midi Designer, if it's possible.

I am using an iPad Pro trying to connect MIDI Designer Pro 2 to a MacBook Pro using a Lightning cable and MusicIO MIDI. My DAW is Digital Performer 9.2 and I am using Vienna Ensemble Pro Server 6. Can someone point me to step by step instructions. I'm totally stuck and confused.

MIDI Log - MIDI Instruction Validation

Fri, 21 Apr 2017 08:52:15 +0000

I have noticed from my log some invalid MIDI bytes '32 00 00 08 20 00' they are on their own without a valid Instruction (Top bit set). Should the MIDI log not show this as an error, or is it working as intended.

Large black panel spanning two pages (OBP+MBT) controls are hidden

Fri, 21 Apr 2017 08:28:38 +0000

Both 'One Big Page + Move Banks Together' are set.

If you create a large black (Alpha+LED Color far right) panel spanning two pages (B1P1+B5P1) then any controls placed will be hidden, panel does not stay at the back.

Workaround: Create 2 panel B1P1+B1P2 this works ok.

Bug on Append Layout with One Big Page and Move Banks Together

Fri, 21 Apr 2017 08:15:34 +0000

Big Page Set and Move Banks Together are set on both projects:

Project 1:

    Bank 1 = B1P1, B1P2, B1P3    # OK
    Bank 5 = B5P1, B5P2, B5P3    # OK

Project 2:

    Bank 1 = B1P1            # OK
    Bank 5 = B5P1            # Ok

Load Project 1 into Project 2 (Append)

Result:

    Bank 1 = Project 1 : B1P1, B1P2, B1P3    # OK
    Bank 2 = Blank                # Ok
    Bank 3 = Project 1 : B5P1, B5P2, B5P3    # ??
    Bank 4 = Project 2 : B1P1        # ??
    Bank 5 = Project 2 : B5P2        # ??

Is this as intended ?

Jump To Page - Not working when in OBP+MBT without breaking OBP+MBT (Only showing half page).

Fri, 21 Apr 2017 07:55:37 +0000

Jump to Page does not work across banks without breaking the 'OBP+MBT' rules, this makes it very difficult to structure a multi-page project, I think this is crucial for any development that would be for public consumption. This should not be very difficult to test/check.

Black (Blank) Action Panels

Fri, 21 Apr 2017 07:35:39 +0000

I keep getting black (Blank) action panels, it appears to happen when: you create a control, the action panel appears, press the red dot to sticky/unsticky it, we now have a panel with a green dot, if you now touch the background, the controls blank out, you can get rid of it by pressing the green dot, over time this seems to cause other issues.

But why would you do that ?

I always tend to move the box from it's starting position to a more convenient one, I have been doing a lot of work 'tick editing', the plus button is very near the border of the box, so on occasion I miss and probably land on the edge of the panel and the background, then the box blacks out, have reproduced quite easily with a new control.

MIDI Log: Receive Errors and Ommisions

Wed, 19 Apr 2017 09:03:36 +0000

Having set a control (Knob) to send a 'Preset Header Request' (F0) 00 01 38 00 6D 46 V (F7) where 'V' is the preset number (two byte word). I have been experimenting with how well the 'MIDI Log' handles the dialogue, I have set the number of ticks to 256, default value to 63(25% 0-63) and 'Snap To Default Value' to max of 16s. It is difficult to run a full cycle without receiving an error, which is a bit concerning for the following reasons:

<1> Maximum data throughput Tx+Rx is only 26,880 bits/16 = 1,680 bits per second. # Basic MIDI Spec = 31,250 Max

<2> The error(s) are consistent and always consist of the same (location) 6 bytes from the middle of the packet.

<3> An example of an error is as follows:

Message In: Length=6: 32 00 00 08 20 00         # Bytes 25 to 30 of the expected 32 byte packet

This is not a valid MIDI command (top bit not set), yet it is not showing as an error, while I understand that this is only dialogue and no action is required, does this mean no validation ?

<4> As I ramp up the throughput we start to lose Rx Packets completely.

I have included a copy of the MIDI log which unfortunately is limited to 80 lines, which when you take into account the Tx Request and the short length wrap-around only gives us around 26 TX/RX cycles.

Request:    F0 00 01 38 00 6D 46 V F7    # 46 Request Preset Header (P)

Expected Response: F0 00 01 38 00 6D 20 PP PP 01 48 (15xAA Preset Name) (5xXX Tag+Step) F7   # 32 Bytes

Not sure if this is relevant but if MIDI Receive is set to on we seem to get more errors.

It might be worth mentioning the reason I started this in the first place, it was to extract the Preset Names in order to populate the ticks, I could then copy from the MIDI Log and then use Notepad++ to edit. Sorry if this has been a bit long winded but not easy to explain :-)

Various bugs in Midi Designer Pro 2: Version 2.8.1 Build 170214

Fri, 14 Apr 2017 06:54:40 +0000

This is a list of bugs I have found during my recent development, I am using an iPad Mini 2 (IOS:10.2). One important point is that as it's a mini 'One Big Page' to me is a little one, I therefore operate in OBP+MBT all the time, all these issues may only be present in this mode.

1. Jump to Page - Does not work across banks without breaking the 'OBP+MBT' rules, this makes it very difficult to structure a multi-page project, I think this is crucial for any development that would be for public consumption. This should not be very difficult to test/check.

2. Load - Append Layout, not working as it should ?

Big Page Set and Move Banks Together are set on both projects:

Project 1:

Bank 1 = B1P1, B1P2, B1P3 # OK
Bank 5 = B5P1, B5P2, B5P3 # OK

Project 2:

Bank 1 = B1P1 # OK
Bank 5 = B5P1 # Ok

Load Project 1 into Project 2 (Append)

Result:

   Bank 1 = Project 1 : B1P1, B1P2, B1P3   # OK
   Bank 2 = Blank               # Ok
   Bank 3 = Project 1 : B5P1, B5P2, B5P3   # ??

   Bank 5 = Project 2 : B5P2       # ??

3. Big Page Set and Move Banks Together are set:

Large (Bank 1-5) (Black - Alpha+LED Color far right) Panel does not remain at back, controls hidden.

Workaround: Create 2 panel B1P1+B1P2 this works ok think this is also a OBP+MBT issue.

4. Named Ticks sometimes the tick being edited scrolls up out of view, very annoying when you are the left with a black area and have to scroll down to do the next one.

Niggles:

1. 'Exit Design Mode' button always gets put in the worse possible place, not logical.

I think that's it for now, the 'Jump To Page' issue is the most crucial for me as it means I can't release my project until it is fixed.

Supercontrol issue???

iPhone 6 w/iOS 10.2.1

Is there any issues with supercontrols sending incorrect values to subcontrols?

I cannot tell if it's a bug or user error on my end. LOL…

MDXG, Voices on New Yamaha with iPad Air 2

Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:24:17 +0000

Hi, Please can anyone help me, I purchased the midi control section of the package, it's the one that says I can control my Yamaha keyboard voices through my iPad, or that's how I understood it. Anyway I have used garage band and others which have worked perfectly well but this app only works on the iPad with no sound through the Yamaha however when I press the keys on the Yamaha the keys on the iPad keyboard depress also but the iPad stays silent. I find this odd, I use a camera connection kit to hook iPad to keyboard. I've tried uninstalling it but no joy. Did I misunderstand what this app does, only it seems clear to me. The thing is there only seems to be info on here regarding the midi designer but there's more to it and some help would be really good. The app also crashes and I have to restart it.

Is Midi Designer in 2-way communication with my JD990?

Tue, 03 Jan 2017 15:56:37 +0000

Please forgive my ignorance and newbness. I bought an iPad specifically to do patch editing (JJ990, MKS-50, Wavestation SR, Oberheim Matrix 1000...) on old sys ex machines. Them got MD 2. Here's what I don't get: MD does not appear to know what the settings are for the currently selected patch jn JD990. MD sends data to JD, but it appears one-way. This renders the whole setup useless, because I may as well be rolling dice. 1. What am I doing wrong? 2.) How do I interrogate the JD990 from MD?

THANKS and please be gentle. I'm new but not stupid.

After hiding a button, can I re use the space that button once had ?

How do you connect iPad to external gear and PC windows 7?

Hi,

Let's say I make a template with pots, sliders and buttons to control Rektor 6 that runs on my laptop.

How do I connect to laptop?

I have also a zoom u24 sound card with MIDI in/out that is connected to iPad via USB cable.

Would I need a MIDI to USB cable?....to connect to laptop?

What do you suggest? Can you give me please an answer before BF is over?

Thank you

Latency problems

Sun, 11 Sep 2016 07:57:31 +0000

I made a control panel for Sampletank , but have a MIDI latency of about .3 sec

IPAD is connected via Roland midi cable to HX3 organ

Playing with Sampletank , no latency at all !

Very annoying when playing key instruments for instance piano.

What can be done. It's unusable with such a delay .

Best Regards

Dear all,

I just bought Midi Designer, installed it on my Ipad and now i have my Ipad connected through Lightning cable to my macbook pro.

How do i activate this connection in MD, so my DAW can receive midi from MD ?

I only can see bluetooth and wifi options in MD's Connect page...
