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):

For further help, you can also access the app web page:

--------
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:

Finally, contact us for problems and bugs!!

--------
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.

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.

This app suits my needs perfectly, letting me control my guitar effects pedals. I can set up buttons to send program changes to select a patch on the pedal, and send CCs to turn options on and off. The drawbars are also very useful to control effect parameters in real time. The older version had a bug that caused the app to freeze if you rotated your phone from portrait to landscape but this seems to have been fixed in the latest release. Thanks to the creators for a great, and very useful app.

I lost data after the update. I had backup file in my file manager. But it's not getting restored. Please give me a solution to regain my lost data in the app.
