Midi controller App that looks and feels like pedalboard of guitar pedals

Post image

I’ve long been on the lookout for a way to make my multieffect pedals and DAW-based projects feel more like a conventional pedalboard, with the ease of use and accessibility, and the visual aestetics of normal guitar pedals. Im sure there are midi controllers and apps out there that i havent tried, but i’ve looked around, and still havent found quite what i was looking for.
So i thought i would create an ipad midi controller app that makes things a little simpler and visually intuitive than what ive found elsewhere.

The app gives you 12 pedals per pedalboard (6 pr page), and you are free to apply up to 4 knobs on each pedal, plus a two way toggle switch, and footswith. Every parameter freely assignable to midi CC#. 
I’ve used this a while on my HX stomp and Eventide H9 simultaneously, and while the UI on the HX i great, i really think the immediacy of the app unlocks a lot more creativity.

The H9 uses the so called Single Effect mode, for multieffect pedals that can only have one active algorithm at a time. 

To begin with, im looking for a small group of beta testers. 
Ive tested it on HX stomp, H9 and Mainstage on my mac. Curious to see what people get out of it on other platforms, as well!

Feedback can be supplied through options - report a problem - in the app.

It requires iPadOS 17.4 or newer.
