MIDI Designer Wins Sonic Touch Gold Award for Best App!

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Dan Rosenstark

I’m absolutely ecstatic to announce that MIDI Designer Pro has won the Sonic Touch Gold Award.

Gaz Williams is using MIDI Designer Pro for a major rock opera production in Paris. Nick Batt, Sonic State Editor, goes over the app with Gaz. As you can tell, these guys have spent a lot of time with the app.

“incredibly well thought-out….”
“very cleverly made, so it’s easy to use…”
“closest rival is Lemur…A lot easier to use than Lemur….”

Great!

Here’s their 10+ minute review of MIDI Designer Pro:

and here’s the article on the Sonic Touch website:

Big shout out and thank you to Gaz Williams and Nick Batt. I’ll take this opportunity to say: we’re not done yet. 1.3.5 is coming out soon, and it’s a game-changer! Stay tuned!

Blog Reopens

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Dan Rosenstark

I’ve decided that it’s time to create a central blog for MIDI Designer. The product is maturing and a lot is happening, but I haven’t gotten a chance to document it. Here’s me in the THroNG studio thinking about these difficult issues (or sleeping, it’s hard to tell):

Currently, I’m working on my personal drum rig (as Dr. 2050) while testing MIDI Designer 1.3 (and a tricked-out Zendrum, and other stuff) in the process. Please bear with me as this blog grows into something great and interesting.
