Users have spent tens of thousands of hours designing MIDI Designer layouts, and the latest advances ensure they'll stick around for hundreds of thousands more.
Design Workflow Enhancements For example: Page: Copy and Page: Make Similar bring familiar actions to work for pages of controls at once. | New Super & Subcontrol Options First Available Sub and Send Default Value introduce new flexibility for layout design, while bit-changers assist in layouts for vintage synths. | Dozens of Fixes Master layout authors like arsby and EZB delved deep into MIDI Designer and worked directly with our development team to push the boundaries of what is musically possible for a MIDI controller. |

New Super & Subcontrol Options

Awards, Nice Community
MIDI Designer handles very difficult problems with a very easy-to-use paradigm (super and subcontrols).
But it's our users that we're most proud of.
Our users share layouts for 50+ MIDI targets -- both hardware and software -- and use tens of thousands more. They ask and answer interesting and technical questions about MIDI Designer. And they are nice, because MIDI Designer is all about ease of use. And that core principle makes for an open platform that users enjoy thinking about, working with and talking about.
