Midi Commander APK for Android

MIDI control app

Midi Commander is a free music application coming from developer Bordero. It's a MIDI app that lets users send MIDI messages to connected devices through their USB ports. With it, they can assign specific functions to each button as they see fit for all types of use cases.

Compared to other MIDI-centric apps like MIDI Sequencer or pocket MIDI Controller, Midi Commander is not an app to help control MIDI devices per se. Instead, it's a tool that can be used to change and alter the functionality for each button input that said devices might have.

Button assignment

Music Instrument Digital Interface(MIDI) devices are an integral part of any professional music production setup. They allow multiple types of instruments, recorders, and such to be linked to a single point for easier control and management. However, there will be times when you need to change the functions of your controller buttons and sliders, and in those situations, apps like Midi Commander can help.

As can be inferred from its name, this app helps you assign commands to the buttons and sliders on our MIDI controller. To start, set the EDIT switch to ON, so you can begin modifying from your device. From there, just touch and hold the one you want to change the values of and they will be transmitted and take effect right away.

Depending on your device's specific brand and model, you'll be working with buttons, knobs, and sliders for functions. You can also utilize presets to make future modifications faster. Make sure your device needs to support USB Host functionality, though. Otherwise, it won't recognize MIDI controllers when plugged in. On a side note, the app often crashes or freezes when editing.

Nice and handy

To conclude, if you're looking for a way to change the functions of your MIDI controllers, Midi Commander is an app that can help. It's straightforward to use, supports all types of models, and you can save presets. Just make sure your device meets the requirement mentioned above, and you'll be good to go. Give it a try and see for yourself.
