-====== Welcome to MIDI Designer ====== 
- 
-MIDI Designer (MD) is a tool for musicians to create custom interfaces for controlling external hardware instruments, effects, VST plugins, and apps. These interfaces can consist of a variety of different controls including buttons, knobs, sliders and X-Y pads. MIDI Designer is the only controller designer that is 100% created in IOS: all editing can be done on your iOS device. This provides a fast streamlined experience from idea to execution. You can work on your interfaces on the train or while you’re waiting for your coffee. MD is very powerful but easy to use. Instead of using scripting, you create complex functionality by setting up relationships between controls. This feature is called super- and subcontrols, and it allows you to dial in the exact behavior you’re looking for without any guesswork. 
- 
-While MD controllers are often used by musicians for controlling hardware and software, they are also leveraged in lighting, robotics, VJ performances, and interactive art installations. Any device or system that allows for MIDI control is a perfect target for MD. 
- 
-The MIDI Designer Community of users creates and shares layouts and pages for important MIDItargets. The Community also provides expert advice and help for solving new problems in MIDIDesigner.
