Knob16

Knob16 is a MIDI controller for producers and performers who want hands-on control from their iPhone or iPad.

64 Knobs Across 4 Banks
16 knobs per bank, instantly switchable. Configure each knob's CC number, channel, output range, label, and fine-tune multiplier.

Bidirectional MIDI
Send MIDI CC values and receive feedback. When your DAW or MIDI device sends CC values back, matching knob positions update on screen.

MIDI Learn
Enable MIDI Learn. Double-tap any knob. Send a CC from your MIDI controller. Done.

Play Mode
Turn Knob16 into a playable MIDI surface with 16 pads per bank, 29 scales, and semitone transpose.

Snapshots and Presets
Save and recall knob values with snapshots. Use presets to switch between complete setups.

Connect Your Way
Connect to compatible MIDI destinations over USB or Network MIDI via Wi-Fi, or to other apps on the same device.

Knob16 AU
Use Knob16 as an AUv3 MIDI plugin inside compatible AUv3 hosts. Knobs, Play Mode, MPE, groups, and snapshots work right in your session. Each plugin instance keeps its own setup in the host project, and you can save AU presets through hosts that support them.
