Will it work with my MIDI controller?

If your controller sends standard MIDI messages to Windows, you can usually map its buttons, pads, knobs, faders, encoders and jog wheels in MIDI Command Studio.

Use MIDI Command Studio free to test it with your own device.

Standard controls you can map

  • Buttons
  • Pads
  • Knobs
  • Faders
  • Encoders
  • Jog wheels
Advanced feedback

LED, display and motorised-fader feedback require compatible hardware.

Free to use, not a timer

Test the workflow with your own controller.

Use MIDI Command Studio free with no time limit and no email sign-up. Connect your hardware, build a practical preset, and decide from your own setup whether a licence would be useful.

Free includes

  • 2presets per device
  • 6mappings per preset
  • 1active device at a time

A licence removes those limits, enables multiple active devices, and adds simple audio sample playback. $16.99 USD.
