An iPad MIDI 2.0 control surface that organizes plugin parameters for Logic Pro and Ableton Live.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-29 issue.

Worth noticing: It lists 26 community dashboards for 24 plugins, with examples for ValhallaFreqEcho, OB-Xf, and Podolski.

Field notes

The setup has two parts: an iPad surface and a Mac companion that connects to Logic Pro or Ableton Live. The page describes plugin parameters arriving over MIDI-CI and being grouped into sections such as oscillators, filters, and envelopes. It also lists 26 community dashboards covering 24 plugins; the iPad app's beta status leaves its general availability unclear.
