## Description

Midi Studio is a modular MIDI controller app for iPhone/iPad that sends CoreMIDI over Wi-Fi, letting you remotely control software like Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and Cubase. It provides a versatile touch surface with faders, rotary controls, encoders, push buttons, XY pads, LEDs, and labels, designed to drive DAWs rather than generate sound.

Key features include CoreMIDI support, Wi-Fi connectivity, USB adapters, velocity-sensitive controls, two keyboards, and a range of layouts. While the app ships with free layouts, creating custom layouts is a paid feature available through Midi Studio Pro. This makes Midi Studio a focused MIDI controller for music production on iPhone/iPad.

## Review summary

The app is valued for broad DAW compatibility, flexible layouts, easy setup, strong connectivity, and low cost. Users praise its cross-device wireless MIDI and design. However, recurring issues include reliability/instability on certain devices, limited documentation and support, platform-specific compatibility problems, and missing features like MIDI Learn. Overall, it’s seen as a powerful, affordable tool with notable strengths in versatility and setup, but with notable caveats around stability and support.

### Pros

- Broad compatibility with DAWs and MIDI apps (Logic, Ableton, GarageBand, Arturia, Cubasis, etc.)
- Highly customizable layouts that let you design almost any setup
- Easy setup with reliable connectivity and a well-designed UI
- Great value for money (low price and affordable options)
- Solid wireless MIDI capabilities and cross-device support (iPad/iPhone to PC/Mac)

### Cons

- Reliability issues across certain devices/DAWs: crashes or unstable performance on some setups
- Lack of directions, documentation, and timely support (no clear guidance or responsive help)
- Compatibility limitations with some DAWs/hardware (Auria Pro Core MIDI, Mac recognition, Windows support unclear)
- Feature gaps and occasional reliability concerns (missing MIDI Learn, some functions not 100% reliable)
