Elegant and Very Useful – Midiflow Review

After reading about MidiFlow for over a year, I finally had a need for it and downloaded the app plus the Controller Remapping add-on last week. I had been using iMIDIPatchbay for my live work and was already a fan. Johannes is a very thoughtful developer. Both of his apps are very well designed and thought out. iOS and MIDI feel a bit like oil and water at times, but Johannes and a few other developers are fighting the good fight to improve this, and demystify it for musicians who don't want to spend their time writing hexadecimal code. MidiFlow allowed me to remap the 3 "xyz" knobs of my Alesis Micron hardware controller to my iOS synth apps. Since the knobs send NRPN messages, the MIDI Learn function in my synth apps was hit/miss. MidiFlow's remapping feature adds new usefulness to gear I already own and love, which makes me happy. Also, the developer is responsive, helpful, and wants to keep improving his products. I'm impressed and thankful for his work.
