What's new in 10.50.2
Your layouts should look their best when you perform. That should be true for free users, too. All LED colors are now free. So are page colors, backgrounds, and panel colors. These features used to require Premium. Now everyone can use them.
In addition, 10.50.0 improves Liquid Glass and iPhone Duo readiness and compatibility with newer iOS releases. We updated the app's launch lifecycle and refreshed the controls around layouts, Design Mode, configuration, presets, and the MIDI Log. Your existing layouts and MIDI workflow should feel familiar.
(10.50.2 restores the iPhone toolbar’s up-arrow button and gives page names more room in landscape.)
Thanks!

Store description
MIDI Designer Pro X (MDPx) is the culmination of over a decade of improvement. We launched MIDI Designer Pro in 2012 and relaunched it in 2016 as MIDI Designer Pro 2. MDP2 was the first and only professional-grade MIDI controller built natively for iOS, earning critical acclaim. Since launch, over 80 updates have greatly expanded its capabilities. Our user-created library now covers 375+ MIDI targets across music hardware and software. In 2024, MDPx took a significant leap forward with the expressive "Spaceship" theme on iPad and Mac and major iPhone usability advances. It now adds AUv3 support in hosts such as AUM, Cubasis, and Logic. A new subscription model — Premium — allows even more users to use the App in their music-making and discover the App Store's best MIDI controller for themselves.
