PLEASE make a Mac editor!

Question

I know you have fielded this request multiple times, but I wanted to make an official feature request for a Mac-based editor.  

The iPad editor is great for small tweaks, but less so for batch editing of controls and quick rearrangements of your layouts.  What I envision is a Photoshop like editor, with an inspector of sorts, that would allow you to create groups of objects and edit multiple parameters at once.  For example, let's say I have a page with 50+ controls o them, and I decide I want them all to respond to MIDI channel 4.  A quick "Command A" select all and hop over to the inspector to set the MIDI channel.  

There is so much flexibility in your product, but designing complex layouts can be rather inefficient.  I, for one, would pay another fair fee for access to a desktop editor, from which you can port your creations over to the iPad.  Furthermore, the having the usual suspects of a graphic design or vector program such as "distribute vertically/horizontally" or "align top/middle/bottom" would be a Godsend.  Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll definitely consider it, but some of those features, like Align and Distribute, might be built into the iOS app soon.

Hi...it's me again ;).  I'm trying not to be too much a pest, because I know you're busy with Midi Designer Pro.  I just wanted to point out another commonly used feature in Midi Designer that would work fantastically well on a desktop editor.  I've created a page with many (50+) buttons that are tied to a super control fader. It would be so awesome if you could tap or "lasso" to select all 50 items and drag the super control to a "group" of sub controls.  I realize that the "Make Similar" function will automatically attach subsequent buttons to the same super control, but sometimes I'm just not planning that far in advance and it would be great to have that flexibility. As is, assigning a super control to already existing layout items is a slow, one-by-one process.  I would still happily pay in for a Desktop editor, but thanks again for the great iOS app.  Look forward to 2.0.

I hear you 100%! Desktop editor isn't happening any time soon, but multiple control selection might happen at some point. It's not trivial, however.

Very important note: there's Make Similar for a PAGE now, which makes similar on all the controls into a new page. Let me know if you cannot find it. Double tap the page tab while in design mode, mostly.
