Midi Commander is a free multimedia application designed for Android devices that allows users to send MIDI messages to connected devices via USB. This app enables users to customize the functionalities of their MIDI controller buttons and sliders, making it a versatile tool for musicians and producers. With its user-friendly interface, it allows for real-time editing and the ability to assign specific commands to various controls, facilitating a more personalized music production experience.

Unlike other MIDI applications that focus on sequencing or controlling devices, Midi Commander serves primarily as a configuration tool. Users can easily modify the functions of their MIDI controllers by engaging the edit mode and selecting the controls they wish to change. The app also supports presets for quick adjustments, although it requires devices to have USB Host functionality to recognize connected MIDI controllers. Users may experience occasional stability issues, such as crashes or freezing during edits.

Midi Commander lets you send MIDI message through a usb-connected MIDI interface.

Define the MIDI messages (control change, program change) associated with each button, and use them to change patches and control a midi keyboard or similar midi equipment.

After setting the EDIT switch to ON, use long click on a button to change its values and the transmitted values. Other functions can be accessed via menu'.

The latest version of Midi Commander (in .apk format) is also available here (in case you experience server problems in downloading it from the Play Store):

IMPORTANT NOTE: the Android device MUST BE CAPABLE of acting as USB-HOST. So, please, do not rate the app with a low score if the connected midi device is not recognized: it might be that your android device does not work in USB-HOST mode.

Also, the MIDI device must be class-compliant (that is, no driver must be required to use its USB-MIDI functionality).

Here is a list of compatible (and tested) devices:

Known issues:

- If the connected MIDI device is correctly recognized (its name is correctly displayed on top of the window of Midi Commander), but the midi commands are not executed by the Midi device, try with a different ID cable number in the Global Settings (so far, we experienced this only with a Korg Microkorg XL keyboard). We plan to have the correct ID cable automatically set.

- We experienced issues with Clavia Nord Keyboards: sometimes the midi commands are not executed by the keyboard.
