Surface Builder App Reviews

Midi control made easy. I just made an interface for the Elektron Digitone. All I can say is I’m impressed. One of the easiest interface builders I’ve used. It’s on patchstorage.com and called Digitone. It took a lot of time to create, but quick simple things and be done in minutes, if you have a little MIDI know-how.

Doesn’t allow remapping of incoming CCs?. This plugin is really impressive and deep! I was able to quickly create a complex control panel for my vintage synth. After a bit of a learning curve, I had over 30 on screen controls correcting controlling the synth. And the panel looked good! I ran into an issue when it was time to control the plug-in with my MIDI CC knob box. The problem is that when you map an on-screen control to an INCOMING MIDI CC number, it also sets the OUTPUT control number to the same number. My MIDI knob box has fixed controller numbers for the knobs. My synth (Sequential Circuits Six-Trak) and my CC knob box (keyfax phatboy) are both vintage pieces that don’t allow the CC numbers to be re-assigned. I was thinking this plug-in would be the “go between” between my knobs and my synth. Not only could I operate the synth from my iPad screen, but also from my knob box, while watching the changes on screen (so I thought). There IS a MIDI learn feature in the plug-in, but it’s deep in the edit menu for each separate control. And again it's just one setting, the input and output CC number has to be the same. They need to add a faster MIDI mapping function (outside of the edit mode) where you can enter a learn mode, wiggle each on-screen control and then turn a physical knob or fader on your MIDI contoller, all in rapid succession without entering an edit menu for each single control. In other words, once you’ve made your perfect control panel, you won’t be able to go through and quickly map your CC numbers like you can on most popular synth plugins (TAL U no, Model D, Synth One, etc) Let me know if I’m wrong, but there is no way to have an on-screen knob RESPOND to one MIDI CC number while TRANSMITTING a different CC number. (I’m not talking about the value but the controller number).

Great app. One little bug…. Incredibly flexible and highly functional. I’ve used another similar product that feels like an old Win95 application. Would *like* some flashier appearance options (But you *can* use a picture for backgrounds which is outstanding!) Easy to learn and a great complement to any hardware controller. One little bug though. Setting any control to send a cc127 and then saving the changed value resets the value to cc0. Set it to cc126 and it saves fine.

Kadar Woody. Good plugin but still kind of find it difficult. I was hoping that I can make my vocal sound like whatever audio I’ve import on here as reference audio and it doesn’t do anything to my vocals I’m only limited to the effects I can use and not the ones I want to create, I was really looking forward to re-creating plug-ins I don’t have access or effects. I just want to make for fun. I think there should be an option where we could just support reference audio and have the effect sound accurate to whatever we import like I think there should be a knob that allows me to import my own audio, it would make things easier so that way I can actually apply the effect I want to my vocals perhaps an options to add presets onto my effect something like a convolution effect to add to my vocals it could work for reverb

Sooo helpful. Great app to assist a streamlined workflow in music creation/production. Developer bats it out of the park once again. Quite easy to learn too despite it’s many functions.
