This app has a great look and, based upon YouTube tutorials seems like it would be great to use. Unfortunately Im having setup difficulties and the developer(s) cannot be reached to solicit help. Have reached out through repeated emails and on Facebook and so far radio silence. To my knowledge theres no operators manual, per se, and no place online to ask for help. With the upgrades Im into this app for almost 50 bucks - have not gotten any real value yet. Hoping for help to arrive and then I can re-evaluate my rating. So far not so good.

Description
iMIDIPatchbay lets you organize your whole MIDI setup from one central point. Do you often divide your keyboards into zones to assign different sounds which might come from external sound expanders? Do you need to send Program Changes to your MIDI equipment? Do you want to integrate your music making apps into your live gear? Well, then iMIDIPatchbay is definitely the right tool for you!
LIST OF FEATURES

WHAT EXACTLY CAN I DO WITH iMIDIPatchbay?
As a keyboard player, you most probably know about splitting and layering sounds. While this can be done relatively easy on professional keyboards, it becomes more complex if your gear consists of multiple keyboards and sound expanders. iMIDIPatchbay makes building such configurations a lot easier than it has ever been before.
After connecting your keyboards and other MIDI devices to the iPad, you can easily create split zones and assign sounds of your MIDI devices to them. Its also possible to route the MIDI data to other apps if they have a virtual MIDI port. Furthermore, you can filter out controllers which is great if you want e.g. pitch bend or sustain to affect only a subset of the active sounds.
WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?
You need a CoreMIDI interface to connect your keyboards and sound expanders to the iPad.
WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE?

IMIDIPatchbay is the solution Ive been looking for
Im very happy with this app. I have been looking for a simple iPad based patchbay to allow me to control multiple keyboard patches on the fly - while still having charts open. Though I typically memorize music, having the charts link to the various keyboards is a very helpful feature for newer songs or just to help a lead vocalist who might forget a section (it happens to the best and its nice to have someone in the band assist). The app offers so much more; however, and I have added more patches to my songs where I was previously limited by the keyboard splits. Next, I will be connecting the the app to some soft synth apps for even more functionality. Terrific product! I also love the ability to use my existing Yamaha Performances in the app as all custom parameters remain as programmed when used through iMIDIPatchbay. For beginners, there arent enough clear step by step directions. The tutorial videos are good, but not as detailed as a beginner would need. Heres a tip: if your keyboards have USB to Host MIDI outputs, you can simply connect multiple keyboards directly into your iPad by using a multi-USB adapter and the Apple Lightning to USB Camera adapter. IMIDIPatchbay is a great product.

This is all I need to build my sounds in the same way as I do on my Nord Stage keyboard, but with a wider choice of synths. Todays iPad with A6X CPU already allows a few nice synths to run simultaneously, I decided to break my wallet and give this modern music rig a try and end up with something I could not imagine for that price. Great App. Thx.
Routeur Midi
Assez cher mais très bien pensé et ergonomique. Certains claviers maîtres proposent doffice les fonctions de lapp mais pour les plus petits (<80 touches) ces fonctions manquent. On peut donc scinder son clavier et choisir un octave sur une app patchée en synth de basse et deux autres octaves en lead par exemple. Le tout en Midi virtuel et core Midi est relativement complet.
Excelente
Recomendo a todos os tecladistas que usam split e canais ! Parabens ao desenvolvedor.
A specialized tool for midi setups
A perfect tool for musicians who employ and connect multiple keyboards and/or other midi devices. Simple to use, easy to configure even for Midi beginners like me. Users of keyboards of the Nord family will enjoy the design, the look and feel which is just as intuitive as a Nord keyboard. I use imidipatchbay together with Setlistmaker. Now, I am able to change the leadsheet, switch the programme on my Nord Stage, even transpose programme-specific in half-tone steps at the same time. So I was able to upgrade my old keyboard which lacks the programme-specific transpose function with this piece of software. The price may look high but it is worth every cent for users looking for this special Midi functionality. The programmer was extremely helpful responding quickly to any question I had.
Excellent tool for the live keyboarder
iMiIDIPatch bay is a very versitaile tool for any keyboarder considering to integrate an iPad in his live keyboard setup. With the decent performance of the latest iPads and a multitude of excellent softsynths availbe, this has become a very attractive option. The program has an excellent look and feel, you can see that a lot of thought has been put in the usability on stage. The price looks a bit steep for the iPad platform, so I was a bit reluctant at first, but in the end this was money well spent, worth every $ / €.
