Condukt
Automatic Dawless MIDI Control
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your iPhone, iPad or Mac into a customizable MIDI controller. Plug in your synth, pick parameters by name, and start playing in seconds.
Condukt connects to any class-compliant USB MIDI device. No adapters. No manual CC programming. Just plug in and go.
▸ PLUG AND PLAY
Connect your synth via USB-C. Condukt recognizes it instantly. Pick parameters from a list, filter cutoff, oscillator pitch, envelope attack, and you're controlling it. No more digging through manuals for CC numbers.
▸ POWERED BY midi.guide
Condukt uses the midi.guide open-source database with MIDI definitions for hundreds of synths, drum machines, and effects. Community-maintained and constantly growing.
▸ BUILD YOUR OWN BOARDS
Create custom control surfaces tailored to your workflow. Sequencers, faders, crossfaders, recall buttons: arrange them however you want. Save multiple boards for different setups.
▸ DO WHAT YOUR HARDWARE CAN'T
- Add multiple LFOs to synths that only have one
- Control the same parameter across multiple tracks with a single fader
- Instant snapshot recall for live performance
- Sophisticated generative sequencers
▸ MULTI-DEVICE CONTROL
One board can control multiple synths simultaneously. A single "Filter" fader can adjust cutoff on your Minifreak, Digitakt, and Moog at the same time.
▸ PERFORMANCE LAYOUTS
Switch between layouts on the fly. Page 1 for sound design. Page 2 for performance. Page 3 for mixing. All within the same board.
▸ SNAPSHOT RECALL
Store and recall control settings instantly. Tap and hold to save. Quick tap to restore. Perfect for live sets. Add crossfaders and morph between saved scenes.
▸ FULLY THEMEABLE
Condukt looks as good as it works. Custom themes make your controller visually distinctive, whether you're performing on stage or filming content.
▸ WORKS WITH
Elektron (Digitakt, Syntakt, Octatrack, Analog Four, Model:Cycles, Model:Samples), Arturia (Minifreak, Microfreak, MiniBrute), Moog (Subharmonicon, DFAM, Mother-32, Matriarch), Teenage Engineering, Novation, Korg, Roland, Sequential, and hundreds more.
▸ MADE FOR MUSICIANS
Built by synthheads for synthheads. We've been working on this project for 5+ years, and Condukt is the app we always wanted. No subscriptions. No account required. Just plug in and play.
