iMIDIPatchbay

Update - after the latest update the app works perfectly again. I just hope that updates are made more frequently in the future when a known issue exists. I’m thankful for this latest update. I’m a professional keyboardist who has used iMIDIPatchbay for years whith phenomenal results in the past. Unfortunately, as of iOS14, the app started having major issues related to PDFs and stuck synths which were never addressed. The developer used to provide excellent responses and quick fixes, but for a long while he has not responded to issues raised in the forums or directly. I sincerely hope he is ok. The app is no longer stable enough for pro use on iOS and I’m not upgrading to 15 until I can migrate all my music to another app. Just an FYI to any keyboardists considering this app.

I really like this app. It’s well thought out but I bought it a few years ago for hardware synths and just tried to incorporate my iOS synths ( Magellan , IK B3, etc ) and imidipatch bay isn’t showing up on any app to choose as the midi in. Nit sure if it’s the app is older, maybe not updated for a while, but for me has only worked for hardware, which is a shame.

Hook up your keyboard on say MIDI channel 1, and route it out to up to 4 apps or external devices, with program change codes and some CC adjustments like volume, reverb or chorus? Works great. Don’t buy the multiple masters in app purchase, though. As far as I can tell, the additional “master” inputs 2-4 are only useful for bouncing a signal back to a device which has local MIDI control turned off. I was hoping to route another device or channel, such as channel 10 out from my arranger, to an arbitrary extern, such as a drum synth. Nope, there is no way to select which master drives an extern, just which split/layer zone of master 1 is used for input. Maybe the problem is trying to do the configuration with my iPhone instead of my iPad , since the pop up help suggests holding down the arming button on the extern while tapping a master or something. I don’t understand why the MIDI setup dialog box doesn’t allow either/both of the master or extern to select the routing from a master to an extern using from & to option lists, similar to how the master input and extern output are selected.
