Controller app for Yamaha XG devices (MU-50) ?

catherder

Anybody knows an app that can control Yamaha XG devices ? These devices offer many controllable parameters that go beyond the standard MIDI CC range. On the computer I used QXGedit ( https://qxgedit.sourceforge.io ) to control my Yamaha MU-50, but now I am looking for a way to do this through my iPad. Checking on the web it looks as if there used to be an app called “MDXG” or “MIDI Designer XG”, but it looks to me as if this has been pulled off the store.

Off hand no.

You may have to look at putting one together yourself using Mozaic.
Can you have a look to see what parameters the MU-50 can accept.
Does it accept cc messages and for patch selection will
it accept Program changes and Bank select changes
because that would make it much easier than Sysex.

I’ve just got my JV1010 up and running again using this method.

I was thinking about a similar route using TouchOSC if there is no ready made solution available.

Then this will come in handy for you, this has all of
the relevant midi information from CC’s to Sysex for the MU50.

Edit for accuracy.

That link didn't work for me; just gives the site homepage. But this one does:
