Wish I could map the mod wheel

Really wish I could map the mod wheel… be warned, user manual says there’s CC settings but that must be only for the desktop version.

Sounds good, but. currently unusable as an AUV3

Love the sound, but unfortunately there is a BUG when using the BA1 as an AUV3, which makes it almost unusable… The delay controls do not work when using it as an AUV3. That also means, you can not turn off the Delay in any presets, that include a delay… Super sad. I wrote the support twice but never got an answer…

Décevant

Sonne bien mais un peu buggé (arpèges). Des commandes difficiles à utiliser et des textes trop petits donc pas très agréable à utiliser. Sur iPhone c'est carrément inutilisable. Dommage.
D'ailleurs le remboursement m'a été refusé 🙁
