Alternatives to Lemur app

Hi, I’m looking for alternatives to Lemur (monthly subscription and very expensive „one time only” purchase put me off)
I want to „design” (but not coding) a midi controller on my ipad to control Reason 13 or any other vst synth/daw via wifi without latency.
For example 4 x 4 drum pads or XY surface
Hope to hear from you

    You're not going to get no latency over wifi - not even close. Bluetooth MIDI is a far better alternative and has only has a little latency. iDAM is even better if you don't mind a wired connection.

    TouchOSC is a good alternative, as are Surface Builder, and Loopy Pro. MIDI Designer Pro 2 is a very mature product too. It's subscription, but for what you want to do, the free version may suffice. There are some others, but those are the ones I've tried.

    Thank you guys, I think I’m gonna try TouchOSC and use iDAM

    Btw, iDAM allows to record audio, is it any audio? Like from youtube etc?
    Is it fancy to set it up or I just do it in Mac Midi Audio settings? And then bam!

    Probably I should also ask on forum dedicated to Reason as I’m using Reason 13 and would like to record audio straight to its sampler or grid.

    I just tried from the YouTube app to a DAW on my Mac and the audio came through. Audio is one-way, iPad to Mac, as you probably already know. MIDI is both ways.

    Is it fancy to set it up or I just do it in Mac Midi Audio settings? And then bam!

    It's not terribly difficult to set up. There are plenty of articles on the web that can help. You do have to re-enable the iOS device in Audio Midi setup each time after disconnecting though. On my Mac, I have to go through a hub for the connection to be stable. If you have problems with an unstable connection, a hub, or a powered hub may be the cure.

    Probably I should also ask on forum dedicated to Reason as I’m using Reason 13 and would like to record audio straight to its sampler or grid.

    I think once you get the iDam connection set up it should be pretty straightforward to use the iPad as a source in the DAW.
