JAX MIDI Control Pad vs GSDSP MMMm Usage & Stats
We made this audio unit, because users did ask for a simple clutter-free tool for usage with realtime MIDI performances.
With the JAX MIDI Control Pad you can generate touch based MIDI controller events for transmitting to your favorite synthesizers and audio effects.
Please note, that the AudioUnit (AUv3) requires a supporting host application with extended MIDI connectivity to perform.
The host app is responsible for connecting external devices and other audio units.
The audio unit is created as an instrument (aumu) device for best compatibility and will send MIDI controller events to the connected devices or effects.
The routing capacities usually depend on the support from the host application. One single instance of the JAX MIDI Control Pad can send 2 MIDI controllers at ones, but also can be configured to be merely one, Many instances of the audio unit can be used. The events are filtered to stop useless repeating values, as continuously sending redundant values can affect poerformance drastically and cause negative side effects on the receiver.
Version 2.5 added many new features, for instance support for Channel Aftertouch and Pitch Bend, preset management and user defined colors per audio unit parameters.
This build is truly 'universal', meaning, unit is available for:
- MacOS (Apple Silicon)
- iOS (iPhone)
- iPadOS (iPads)
- visionOS (Apple Vision Pro)
- Apple App Store
- Paid

Modulate Everything
MMMm is a MIDI controller and modulation workstation designed to control any parameter that accepts MIDI CC — software instruments, plugins, external hardware, or any MIDI-capable device. Create modulation using LFOs, Random Generators, Envelope Followers, XY pads, and more. No more drawing of automation curves, keep your audio dynamic and exciting with ease.

MMMm includes a dedicated Performance Skin designed for low-light and stage environments. It uses a restrained, red-accented color palette that preserves focus and minimizes visual distraction while performing. The interface remains clear and readable in dark settings, ensuring stable workflow during your live performance.
MMM vs MMMm
MMM includes audio input, enabling Envelope Followers, audio-reactive modulation, and audio output — ideal when used as an audio plugin.
MMMm, by contrast, is a MIDI-only FX version for hosts such as Logic Pro or AUM that require a pure MIDI processor.
Both versions support MIDI input and output and provide the same core modulators.
MMMm is an AUv3 midi effect plugin compatible with Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, GarageBand and many more.
A Desktop version is also available for Windows and macOS (VST3 / AU / AAX).
