Sidecar MIDI Controller for Android - Download Free [Latest Version + MOD] 2025

Whats new in Sidecar MIDI Controller v1.8

6 things about Sidecar MIDI Controller

1. On screen, you have access to each of the pads -- map the knobs and sliders of your synth apps to MIDI CC messages, and then use Sidecar to adjust these sliders as you play.
2. Each MIDI destination has ten configurable pads, which can be assigned to chords, single notes, a program change message, or a controller change message.
3. Toggle on support for the external keyboard, and you can switch between the ten MIDI destinations quickly (using the keys in the QWERTY row).
4. Sidecar turns your ordinary QWERTY keyboard into a powerful MIDI controller.
5. Because Sidecar operates in slide-over and side-by-side mode on the iPad, you can use your physical keyboard with any MIDI app, even if the other app is running in the background.
6. If you have an external MIDI controller, you can have it send MIDI events to Sidecar -- and these will be relayed to any of the ten MIDI destinations you select.

So cool! Works great with the magic keyboard

Great app and developer got it working instantly with synth apps and after a few minutes clicking around had it going with gadget as well. Mobile Pro m1 14.5 11” // gadget 2, Animoog, model d, all gadgets.

Indispensable! Positional Velocity Anywhere!

Using it profusely in BeatMaker 3 Sampler because it doesn’t have a velocity keyboard to test sample layers while you are in the sampler. This also lets you use a QWERTY keyboard as a MIDI keyboard. Love it!

Right spot, right time

It's always a pleasure when app developers release apps that reflect the "thing I have in my head". Well, this app not only solves the "Bluetooth only works in the foreground" problem when working with multiple music creation apps, but it does it exactly the way I pictured it in my head. If you have a BT controller and use multiple apps, Sidecar will likely make your life a whole lot easier! As a plus, the side panel design is handy for extra MIDI control pads even outside the Bluetooth keyboard scenario.
