Great interface for easy control.
This is a very powerful midi controller that can run a large range of computer DAWs as well as hardware with ease.
The design of the interface really makes the whole process more enjoyable, and using an iPads touch interface is really the best option for real control. This really has the scope for total control.

Nothing short of amazing!
This app is absolutely incredible. Took me some time to get it properly set up with Ableton, and now I have full control of the DAW using the LiveControl iPad template. If you're looking to set this app up with Ableton on Windows, you will need the LoopBe1 program to create the "invisible cable" over wifi. You will need another program called PureData to monitor and make sure you are correctly receiving MIDI signals on your computer. Finally, you will need the LiveControl program installed as these act like drivers for TouchOSC on the PC. All these programs required are free to download. Last, you have to go to Ableton and click Preferences, click the MIDI sync tab, and use LiveControl_TO as the control surface, set the input to Loopbe internal MIDI, and the output to whatever you want it to sound through (by default on Windows, is Microsoft GS wave table synth.) like I said, all this took me a while to set up, so if you're looking to use this in Ableton on Windows, this is what you need to set it up. Hope this helps anyone with a similar setup!

Wow, wow, wow!
I'd looked at this app several times before, but was dissuaded from trying it by the fairly nondescript screen captures and some negative comments about people saying extra software must be purchased to make it work. But I finally bought it anyway, and was thrilled to find out my concerns were baseless. There was essentially no setup required at all, certainly no additional software was required, and right out of the box it controls virtually everything in Logic Pro 9.16 brilliantly. It both looks better and has far more capability than what I had surmised from looking at the example screens on this page. I am SO glad I finally tried this! This fantastic app will be operating my studio most of the time from here forward. What a bargain for the price!

Almost perfect!
I use this app on a daily basis for work and live performance. It's flawless.
All I would like to see now are a few new objects. Multi-xy objects and being able to add inertia to controls would be incredible.

Astounding
An amazingly cheap solution to several problems.
I was searching for a new MIDI controller keyboard and couldn't find the right balance between a controller and a digital piano (Don't need all the noises or onboard sequencers, but need a decent piano feel keyboard that can control my studio DAW (Logic)). Eventually I realised there wasn't one and opted for a small hardware DAW controller with motorised faders to supplement a USB digital piano.
Just by chance, I picked up a comment in a discussion board about iPad controllers and the penny dropped - or at least £500 dropped.
I confess I haven't tried any of the other DAW controllers, but this one took my breath away. All I had to do was tap in the IP number, Logic saw it immediately and I was away.
Large faders that can be operated simultaneously, great use of colour (for clarity, not decoration) and lots of extras when I'm feeling creative.
A genuine money saver that is well executed, professional and versatile. Nice one Mr. Fischer.

Wow.
I have never written a review before but this app deserves your full attention. Within 30 seconds of buying this app it was completely downloaded on my iPad. I had heard about it but never really looked much into it and thought I would give it a try. I'm sick of all the musical iPad apps that seem like toys, I want to use this to make music. Without having a clue how this app worked I just clicked connect to my macbook pro. Opened logic, and it worked immediately with the track I have been working on. Select individual tracks, use the mixer to adjust volumes or solo. The app will even bring up the plug in on your computer when you select it on the iPad, you can change parameters for plug-ins like compressors or whatever. All the track names were immediately in my iPad on the app, I could go on and on, just get it. It's incredible.

Not for me
I'm sure this is a great app but so far I have not been able to get it working. I'm not bothered considering the price. But essentially I thought the setup process was complicated particularly the other software you seem to have to download from another developer who also bombards you to register (very annoying).
I may try and get this software working again but I think the developer would be doing himself a favour if he toned down the heavy technical jargon on his website and made it very clear to visitors where the setup guide is. A video for setting up would be useful.

Brilliant
First app I ever felt compelled to write a review for, simply awesome value for money. Bought the app, downloaded the sample layouts, opened LogicPad, opened the app, it saw my Mac, synced the layout, opened Logic 9, it saw the app as an OSC controller, asked if I wanted to set it up, said OK and that was that. Anyone want to buy a cheap Behringer BCF2000 :) It really was that simple

Works great with Logic Pro 9
This works great with Logic Pro - in fact this is how all apps should communicate with other devices (eg laptops): faultless, instantaneous.
Look forward to further integration with Logic.

Simply phenomenal.
The only way this app could possibly get better is if it becomes able to output midi data instead of only OSC. Other than that, this app is perfect.
