MIDI learn persistence
hi all, seems like a very informative and civil forum.... Ok to post general ios music app queries? Hope so!
I have the usual basketful of apps, like many of you. Still pouring through the very informative Midi Sync/Clock posts, thanks to all the great info.
Quick question: any tips on how to get MIDI Learn assignments to stick? Like most of us, I'm plugging in various devices to my iPad at different times, and find I have to reassign buttons, faders and pots pretty much every time. Experiences? Thanks again for the help, best, jgirv

That is a function of each individual App; some remember learn, some remember multiple learn sets, some don't learn anything, some don't remember anything, and some of those wake up with a default assignment and some wake up with nothing assigned. Except for the last ones, you can get some relief with MidiBridge and/or MidiFlow.
Amongst other things, Loopy gets this right. I wish everyone did it this way. It has a set of mappings for each connected MIDI device (and bluetooth keyboards!). So, if you have a foot controller that sends program changes only, you can map those to functions in loopy. You can then map your MIDI keyboard's CC buttons to the same functions and you don't lose your foot controller bindings because loopy recognizes them as separate sources. 1) Thank you @michael. 2) please do this @alldevs!
Magellan has the best I've seen. Setup all you cc's etc. for one setup and you can save it. Sunrizer also remembers your midi learn settings too. Animoog also.
There are quite a few. MiMix and NLogPro are two I use not infrequently. TableTop also has a pretty creditable MIDI learn feature. As far as I can tell it learns channel and port as well as CC#.
But Magellan has a couple of unfriendly bugs, bugs I've posted about on their forums with no response.
1: Midi In Port selection menu seems to be non-functional and Magellan in practice behaves promiscuously. So it is just as well it has a working learn facility.
2: (for some of us): Magellan has a nice feature: Effects rack #2 is available in the Audiobus Effects slot. But. There is a bug when Magellan is in the Input slot. Iff you have a multichannel interface, its inputs 9&10 feed into the effects chain with no indication or option to disable. In the case of a FocusRite device, say 18i6, 9&10 are the S/PDIF input. I was using that to feed from my Mac digitally into the iPad. Under some circumstances it formed feedback loops. Took a very long time to find this one.
Wait, Sunrizer remembers per device?
Magellan's list view is indeed nice but for synths I definitely prefer on-device MIDI learn ala Sunrizer or iSem. Having both would rule my school.
thanks for the great info! ... as expected!
'Midi learn - preset' Saving:
... can it be done with Midiflow?
I like how sunrizer looks for midiclock and just takes it, without you having to set up anything
everyone should do this!
giku rules!
sunrizer is still the Swiss Army knife
MiMix also preserves MIDI learn state, and has on-device learning input. Learned set in the latest update is also kept as part of the preset data.
Egoist is great for recalling what it learns.
