Great but has issues

This is overall very good, but it used to be better. First came the update that removed editing of CC and titles. Then an update fixed that, but it’s now very difficult to get labels to fit in the tiny spaces, and it’s no longer possible to edit the headings for button groups.

PLEASE bring back ability to edit button group/section headings, and also to allow button titles to wrap to two lines MANUALLY by inserting a return character. This would help massively in customising the labelling and will earn the Dev an otherwise well-deserved 5 star rating ;)

Can’t make it control SONAR

rtpMIDI shows a connection. Cakewalk asks if it can connect. Nothing happens. I’ve tried all of the suggestions in the rtpMIDI documentation. I’m at a loss. Is there a way to unpurchase and get my money refunded?

Poor customer support

I bought this app a few days ago. Couldn’t get it to work with ProTools 12 on my Mac. Sent a couple of emails to the customer support address they provided. Still haven’t had a response. It only cost a couple bucks, but I still expect the company to provide quick customer service.

Waste

Waste of time and money for windows users

didn't work

couldn't get this to work with LPX or Live (os: High Sierra)

Doesn’t work

I work on windows with fl studio 12, sadly this doesn’t work neither controls the mixer even using their preset for fl studio, it only triggers midi messages to the selected vst channel... do not buy doesn’t work as advertised

Didn’t Work For Me

I could get it to connect to rtpMIDI but the app wouldn’t work. No go.

Thank you for bringing back Edit/CC Properties

Dock a star because my previous saved layout was killed in an update.

Five star DAW controller app

Have been using this with MOTU Digital Performer (since they no longer support DP Control) and AVID Pro Tools and it works very well on both systems... and much better than a lot of other DAW remotes I’ve used. Relatively easy to set up too. Highly recommended.

Would also like to say massive ‘well done and thanks’ to the developer for the recent version 2.6.1 update making it compatible with the iPad 12.9. Now most definitely a five star app.

Does not work

Looks nice but alas won't connect via Network MIDI. I use Network MIDI with other IOS apps, which work fine. MIDI toolbox shows data going from my iPad to my iMac, using the same session. Yet this app does not connect via network MIDI. Had the developer added some simple diagnostics or the ability to see what MIDI connection is being attempted, one could troubleshoot. But nothing -- just does not work. Thankfully not and expensive app. If you want to waste $3, give it a try. Wish I had not wasted the money or time.
