6 Best Midi Android App
1. MIDI Keyboard
“• 88-key piano with high quality sound.
• Responsive multi-touch keyboard.
• Connects to external MIDI devices.
MIDI Features:
• Connect your Android device to a computer using a regular USB cable to allow communication between the app and your favorite Digital Audio Workstation!
• Use a USB OTG adapter to use your Android device as a host for a physical MIDI Keyboard. The app can then send and receive Note On/Note Off MIDI data. You can even use the app as a soundbank for your MIDI keyboard, complete with sustain pedal support!
NOTE: It may be necessary to change the USB configuration of your Android device to “MIDI” when connecting to a computer, as well as enabling the device in your DAW.
Check out this excellent video by one of our users for an example on how to set up the app: https://youtu.be/J_n6v7yCi_g”
2. Wireless Mixer – MIDI
“Wireless Mixer is a MIDI mixer controller for your favorite computer music application or DAW. It simulates a real mixer console with many functions like buttons and sliders sending data using MIDI over WiFi.
Even if you work without computer or a DAW you can visually save mixer setups and labels on the go and recall later for a specific performance or live setup.
NOTE: This app is NOT a standalone mixer, it is a controller which requires WiFi connection to a computer with installed music program (like for eg: Reason, Fruity Loops, Cubase, Cakewalk, Logic, Live etc) or other DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). See usage instructions in the application on how to use.”

4. MIDI Controller
“Your phone turns into an USB Midi controller for controlling software (eg audio workstations / DAWs) and hardware (eg synthesizer, light show, …) via USB.
All common MIDI information can be sent,
including all music notes and all possible control change values.
Build your own workspace from scratch.
All controls are fully customizable.
– Simple, customizable keyboard with speed and channel controls
– Customizable buttons (one-shot and on / off) for sending control information
– Customizable sliders

More than 500 buttons and sliders can be added

Control your DAW, your synthesizer, or whatever you want to work with.
Example DAW (Digital Audio Workstation):
Add a new midi control
Assign these to functionality in your audio program via midi mapping.
MIDI controller can now control the assigned functionality – eg volume slider, effect ON / OFF, recording start and much more.”

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.”
