[Using a MIDI controller with Affinity Photo]

An SDK that allows getting and setting values for key Affinity controls (ie brush size, exposure, contrast, etc.) would accommodate both MIDI controllers and more purpose-built controllers (see feature request threads 1, 2, 3) alike.

MIDI offers access to a ton of inexpensive controllers, but the standard itself is just an okay interface for photo/video applications. By setting up a proper SDK, however, Serif can accommodate both MIDI as well as custom implementations (ie Monogram, Tangent, etc.) or other standards like OSC for example.

This would be so welcome!

I’m using Photo in iPadOS.

If you don’t already have a MIDI controller to test this out, I would recommend Korg’s NanoKontrol Studio. It has a wide range of buttons, knobs and faders that could be mapped to various actions and parameters.
