Other Daws

Other DAWs

Midimo is compatible with any DAW that supports generic remote mapping. Some DAWs, like Garageband for Mac and iOS do not support generic remote mapping, however they do support certain controls via preset MIDI CC numbers. Check your DAW’s manual for details.

Midimo also works with non-musical software (eg. Resolume and Isadora) that support control via MIDI CC.
