Liine have announced the end of support for the Lemur MIDI / OSC controller application – see liine.net
MIDI Designer Pro 2 offers the Lemur user an alternate application that supports many of the use cases of Lemur.
| Lemur | MIDI Designer Pro 2 |
| Control surfaces for MIDI devices | ✅ – Buttons, knobs, sliders, lists, VU meters, dynamic labels, XY controls, accelerometer – Eight banks with up to six pages each |
| – Abstract visual style controls | ? – MDP2 focuses more on hardware realistic interfaces, some abstraction possible |
| Advanced relationships between control settings – programming required | ✅ – Super / sub control relationships and named ticks provide no-programming implementations for preponderance of controls – StreamByter for advanced control relationships |
| Open Sound Control | ❌ – MIDI only |
| Sequencer, Multi-Ball Controls | ? – MDP2 does provide control loopers, but no direct sequencing |
| iOS Supported, M1 Mac Provisional | ✅ – M1 is provisional, functional, with in-work interface improvements |
| ❌ End of Support | ✅ – MDP2 continues active development and support, most recent update in July 2022 |
| ? Active application help and user groups | ✅ – MDP2 has active users, FB group, shared layouts, and developer provided support |
| ? | ✅ – Library of user shared layouts |
There is no conversion capability to convert a Lemur application into a MDP2 layout. But with MDP2 you can build a layout without any programming – place controls, adjust settings, connect, and take control of your devices.
When advanced control relationships are required:
- Super / sub control relationships provide basic control interconnection
- Named ticks provide scaling, arbitrary relationships, control down-sampling, and more, without writing any code
- StreamByter provides advanced control relationships with straight-forward lexicon
MDP2 is not a one-for-one replacement for Lemur, but can cover many use cases.
Our user group and support team are standing by to help you transition.
