In MIDI Designer 1.4.2, we introduced drumpads (Flyer Announcing 1.4.2 Release).
MIDI Designer 1.4.2 Lite and Pro are available for download and purchase in the App Store.
See the Change Log for all the details.
MIDI Designer Pro and Lite 1.4.01 for iPad and iPhone has been released. Read all about it in the flyer.
Pro is unlocked for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch as soon as you purchase it.
Lite requires you to in-app purchase (IAP) to unlock for iPad, and a separate IAP to unlock for iPhone. Lite, once unlocked, has the exact same functionality as Pro.
Update Oct 30 7:44pm EDT: All problems resolved, 1.4.01 is live in the App Store for both Lite and Pro!!!
1.4.0 has been released as announced here. It brings a lot of new features and fixes to MIDI Designer Pro and Lite, and two completely new concepts:
In bringing these two concepts to MIDI Designer on the App Store, two problems were discovered in 1.4.0 after launch. This is a worst-case scenario for MIDI Designer, and we’ve acted as quickly as possible to resolve these issues. They are both now resolved in 1.4.01, but this release must now complete the App Store review process (which we’re hoping to expedite has been granted an expedited review for Pro).
Update Oct 30 7:44pm EDT: All problems resolved, 1.4.01 is live in the App Store for both Lite and Pro!!!
MIDI Designer Pro problems in 1.4.0
The Pro version for iPad (only) has a launching problem, which does not result in a crash but is a critical bug nonetheless for more than 90% of users.
The Pro version 1.4.01 fixes the problem. It has been submitted for granted an expedited review, which could be resolved in as little as three days.
For the time being, MIDI Designer Pro 1.4.0 been removed from the App Store.
Update Oct 30 10:00am: We are grateful to Apple for granting an expedited review! Shouldn’t be long now.
Update Oct 30 7:44pm EDT: All problems resolved, 1.4.01 is live in the App Store!
MIDI Designer Lite Problems in 1.4.0
Update Oct 30 19:32pm EDT: All problems with Lite have been resolved with the MIDI Designer 1.4.01 update, now available in the App Store.
The Lite version for iPad and iPhone allows for an unlock via in-app purchase. If the user tries to add more than 5 or 12 controls on iPhone or iPad respectively, the app offers an unlock for the current device. The unlock does give unlimited controls. Due to a bug, however, it does not unlock the remaining colors. The correct behavior is that the Lite version unlocked should be equal to the Pro version in all regards.
The Lite version 1.4.01 fixes the problem with the color unlock. This has been submitted for normal review and users will not get all background colors until seven to nine days have elapsed.
For the time being, MIDI Designer Lite 1.4.0 remains in the App Store. Users who use in-app purchase for the unlock will get the remaining 136 colors when 1.4.01 drops.

Update Oct 30 7:44pm EDT: Thank you Apple for the expedited review, and our users most of all for your patience during this 40-hour mini-crisis in music-making!
