@BrennanSingularSound and @DavidPackouz , Thanks for the effort to improve MM. I been using android MM app for 1 month, and the alpha version of IOS MM app for several hours and I have found some bugs that make iOS version hard to use and some ideas for improvement for both apps.
-
The worst part: iOS app does not import Custom Modes from the online repository (also neither Android or iOS import the custom mode configuration from the device). So, if you had started to config MM with another tablet (android in my case) you will need to replicate all the configuration again. For both apps (iOS + Android). Also, to facilitate editing, it would be useful to add a duplicate button (beside delete and publish online buttons) so that commands could be duplicated. Labels for online programs and custom modes are truncated in iOS
-
Another big problem is that in IOS, when you add a function to a button you can not config if it is sent on press or on release or even select if it is sent by BT/Midi, like in android app.
With android app, I have successfully found a way to emulate a momentary switch for controlling a software looper and have hold and double tap actions, sending a ânote onâ on press and a ânote offâ on release, but there is no way to do that in IOS app. BTW, there will be the possibility to config momentary/latch for buttons in a future firmware? -
Interestingly, one thing you can do in IOS app but it is imposible in android, is to customize a function. This is very useful because you can define a generic command and when you add it to a button you can customize midi channel and other parameters. Please add this to both apps!

There are some problems in iPhone with small screens (iPhone 6s). Also in iPad, in landscape mode, In the config button window, when editing labels, you can not see what you write because floating keyboard hides most of the content. There are also problems with some interface elements that do not have visual feedback (for example all the pop up menus)
-
I wonder if it will ever be possible to edit the other custom modes (BB and Aeros). For example, I donât use Aeros and I would like to have another custom config easily available in that memory space. As indicated on the product page we bought a device with â10 active pages per presetâ and â3 presets that can be switched quickly using a small âmodeâ button on the back, no app needed.â, But in fact there is only one preset by now. Even, in my case, that cannot use channel 1 for BB so that custom mode is not usable. Please allow us to config the other custom modes (edit, delete, etc.)
We have been waiting a lot of time to use MM but several important advertised features are missing, perhaps the most important, the simplicity to use it. As you said: âItâs the first MIDI Pedal controller that lets musicians skip on reading lengthy MIDI manualsâ. In my case, one month of intensive use of MM, and I have read more midi manuals than ever. I miss the moment to âjust jump right into playingââŚ
