Superior tool
Works well on my Mac mini M1 with macOS 15.x. Perfect for all kinds of MIDI work. Mostly use it for pedal controls and presets. Customer service is responsive and helpful. Thanks

Powerful and flexible
My home studio is guitar focused and I need to be able to control multiple modelers, pedals, and DAW functionality without a lot of tap-dancing and context switching. MD allows me to configure the controls I need all in one place and control it from one iPad. MD so far is looking like a game-changer for me.
