Great app!!

Eh estado usando esta app con mi boss gx1 y la verdad me ayuda a crear sonidos más rápidos tienes su fallas pero es poco. Deberían mejorar pero por el momento excelente para editar rápido sin botones.

Great functionality, not user friendly

First off this is an amazing entry unit, but it also has an amazing live solution for people that don’t want to haul around their whole rig. It is frustrating that Roland continues to release these products in the United States with very minimal menus or user manuals. The most comprehensive menu or manual that they have is an HTML format on their website. I appreciate them posting the HTML manuals and PDFs., But it would be nice if they were included in the app or if there was an option to build out a tone stack via tutorial. I’ve accidentally saved over other presets or tried to edit a “P” channel instead of “U”. When it doesn’t save I try to troubleshoot the issue but instead of even saying “cannot override built in presets” it lets me edit the channel but not save it. This is confusing for the player. Directions would be nice. For that omission, it gets 4 stars instead of 5.

No Landscape Mode ?

So far unable to open app in landscape mode?

This is a deal breaker, planned on using GX1 in home studio and do editing on Ipad Pro 12.9 , No way I'm running that in portrait mode.
Will be looking for different modelers that have editor available in landscape mode.

When it works, it works great

It works really great, but there are issues. First one, I was adjusting a user preset, U24, and after I would “write” it to save, it would revert back to the first preset I was on, U2, when turning on the GX-1. So I would have to use the drop menu of presets and go back to U24 and it would again show the name of U2. The second issue, after using it for over an hour and continuously having this issue it just disconnected from the GX-1 and couldn’t reconnect. I would have to start all over again with the pairing. This works well with the GX-1 but these issues really need to be resolved.
