midimux for PC

★ ★ ★ midimux Overview

What is midimux?

Midimux is an app that allows users to communicate MIDI data between a Mac/PC and an iOS device using a standard USB to lightning or 30 pin cable. It seamlessly integrates an iPad/iPhone into a studio, making it worry-free, reliable, and ultra-low latency. The app works with all apps that speak MIDI, and it lets users control iOS apps with hardware controllers connected to a Mac/PC, sequence and play iOS apps using a DAW running on a Mac/PC, control Mac applications or hardware connected to it using Lemur, TouchOSC, or any other app that uses MIDI, use iOS apps to play and sequence hardware instruments connected to a Mac/PC, and create virtual MIDI ports on the iPad/iPhone that can be mirrored to the Mac/PC or other iDevices.

Software Features and Description

1. In long: If you have a MIDI device connected to your Mac/Pc, midimux will create a copy of it on the iDevice - and thus allowing other apps to talk to it directly.

2. If an app creates a virtual MIDI port (e.G. Animoog), midimux will create a copy of that port on the Mac/Pc, naming it 'Animoog @ iPad'.

3. Any byte of MIDI received by the MIDI device on the Mac/Pc will be piped to and received on the virtual copy of that device on the iOS device - and is then usable by its apps.

4. In short: midimux creates virtual copies of MIDI devices connected to the other side.

5. - create virtual MIDI ports on the iPad/iPhone that can be mirrored to the Mac/Pc or other iDevices.

6. With midimux, you are no longer forced to rely on wifi-packets or external hardware to communicate MIDI data between a Mac/Pc and an iOS Device.

7. Data sent out by apps to the virtual copy on the iOS device will be piped back via usb, and then sent to the real device on the Mac/Pc.

8. - Creates Mirrors of all MIDI devices that are connected to the iOS devices on the Mac/Pc.

9. If an app does not create a virtual MIDI port, midimux always gives the possibility to create virtual ports manually.

10. - control Mac applications or hardware connected to it, using Lemur, TouchOSC or any other app that uses MIDI.

11. - connect more than one iOS device to the Mac/Pc - and send MIDI data between them.

Top Pcmac Reviews

frustrated and sad

By iApps4Muse (Pcmac user)

Is this app dead? Support? I give 2 stars which represents the use I still get from it-the missing ones represents the developers lack of caring Don’t bother emailing support, nor asking questions via their community board you will just be frustrated. It’s a shame. I waited and waited, I wanted to see if something would change before I finally wrote a review. I speak from years as a musician, composer teacher with academic degrees in computer music. I’m not a noob. This is just sad. I understand app builders/developers don’t get a huge payout for their hours of effort, but if you put your work out there and represent it to be a tool for the craft-act it. There are a plethora of issues from the app side, server side, and plugin side. Inquiries have been sent for all with no response. If a tool as this was supported, continued development and above all worked, I’d pay $50 for such an important tool. Anyone? Someone needs to pick up the mantle soon; we need a viable replacement.
Wish I had discovered this app about 2 years ago

By mhoman (Pcmac user)

Needed to switch between Mac VSTs and iOS app sounds and had to rely on wireless or changing usb cables. Couldn’t make the changes quick enough due to having to reset issues. This free app reduces it down to muting the volume on a device and un-muting the other. No batteries or other hardware if you have two USB ports on your Mac. Set up was a breeze but this is only day 1 so I haven’t load tested for any period of time.
Works well under Windows 10... if you know how to set it up.

By Yoders.6 (Pcmac user)

Although musicIO worked fine on my mid-2010 iMac and Mac OS X Yosemite, it never worked properly on my Windows 10 machine, as it would constantly crash out FL Studio 11. When I found that this app was available for free, I jumped at the opportunity and downloaded it right away and, regarding my Windows 10 computer, I'm glad I did. Linking MIDI Designer with FL Studio could never have been easier or stabler than with this app.
Works as advertised🙏

By MrsRattle (Pcmac user)

My first review: Because it was so easy to set up, worked as advertised, for free, and basically saved me a whole bunch of money. Now I can use any app on my iPad as a kind of outboard module running in conjunction with my DAW. Record inside the iPAD then transfer back to the laptop DAW in whichever manner I prefer. Thank you!
