Many capabilities, hampering limitations
I had been performing using a combination of ForScore and AUM—as the former can send program changes to the latter. Then Camelot went on sale and I went for it. Its performance-oriented architecture allowed me to conceive of a more ambitious project than I could have carried off in the former set-up—so I thank the app for that. One limitation I encountered was external controllers having to operate at a global level. Camelot is organized into "scenes" which are made up of "layers", which are themselves comprised of "items." So when I set my expression pedal to control the level of layer 1, or, say, the level of layer 2, item 3, the pedal would continue to do so in every sequential scene. At first I thought of Stravinsky's concept of limitations being freeing for a composer, and so I created a spreadsheet to keep track of controller assignments—inserting empty filler layers to avoid the assigned layer or item affecting parameters I wanted left alone. Another limitation was lack of control over AUv3 parameters. You could tweak them in the interface but you could not assign external control over them unless the app had an internal midi learn feature. This meant having to abandon some favorite apps that didn't offer this. (I could not trigger a "freeze" in Magma with a sustain pedal, for example). Another limitation is poor tech support. When I pointed out an issue with controller curves not taking effect at the layer or item level, the tech person I was corresponding with ceased responding. All this is to say that if you can work OK within these limitations and somewhat archaic structure, the app is otherwise reliable and can produce amazing results. I, however, have moved on to Camelot's competitor, Keystage, which has a responsive developer who keeps the app vital.

Impressed, but there’s a flaw
Giving this 4 stars because it’s almost flawless. When switching scenes, I get seamless patch transitions, which is awesome, but sometimes the sustain pedal hangs. AUM, and the new Sessions app, don’t hang the sustain that way, so I know my hardware is fine. Hoping this issue can get fixed. Nonetheless I used this app successfully in a live environment and got a lot of great feedback from peers , but had to occasionally step on my sustain pedal quickly whenever I detected hanging notes/sustain. Hoping you can fix this.

Please add orchestration template for SWAM Instruments
Audiomodeling is knocking things out of the park! A feature request would be to provide a Divisimate like interface for the SWAM instruments for Big Band or Orchestral arrangements. You already make the plugins, and you already have a live DAW app. Please give us orchestration ability through Camelot or a separate AUV3 app. Complete the loop. 🙏🏽

Superbe, incontournable
Incroyablement puissant et flexible. Mon couteau suisse pour le live
Muy malo
Prácticamente no vale para nada. Nefasto. Al menos la versión iPad.
Ottima
L’app é fantastica, ci vuole un po’ di tempo per capire le varie impostazioni ma in live é fenomenale. Solo una piccola critica, non c’è la funzione di “sincronizzazione” tra backing tracks e file pdf (con eventuali testi) sarebbe molto bello pre registrare il giro pagina a un determinato minutaggio di una backing tracks ma purtroppo non si può. Darò 5 stelle non appena ci sarà questa funzione!

Frustrante
Sono 30 anni che programmo synth e tastiere, workstation e uso daw ma è la prima volata che.mi capita una cosa così poco intuitiva. Per me inutilizzabile…probabilmente studiandolo per mesi si riesce a fare qualcosa. Con la mia numa x piano e’ un disastro….sicuramente è un limite mio ma non vorrei perderci troppo tempo.

Best app for live performance!
Takes some time to get used to it but one you do, possibilities are endless. I play guitar and keyboards and it is the best app for playing live!
Great idea...
Great concept and worked out quite well in the long run, with improved support even on my old iOS 12 device.
Great app but audio input from Motu M4 is broken
This issue existed both before and after the recent update. When I create a new layer with a source of audio inputs from my Motu M4, it acts like it does not “hear” the input. The inputs are appropriately mapped to the interface’s inputs, and are not red (like when the device is unplugged), so it sees and knows about them. However, the triangle never flashes as I would expect it to when receiving input (this is the method I use to confirm it is receiving midi, but in that case, with midi inputs as the source, it’s a circle).
I also know the interface is functional, because (a) I have level meters on the interface and (b) the identical configuration works in a competitor’s app I also own, so I know it is sending the audio over USB. My hardware synth has no onboard effects, so I need to route the audio through auv3s.
I would love to have this fixed and get back to using Camelot as I prefer its UI, but there appears to be no way to get support for the iPad version, and I don’t have a desktop version.

Spettacolare!
Complimenti davvero, software completo, intelligente ed affidabile.. Per me ormai imprescindibile. Grazie e continuate così
Pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliqué?
Absolument pas ergonomique.
Absolument pas intuitif.
Peu fiable.
Trop cher par rapport à la concurrence.

Bad
very bad, full of bugs. Basic functions non-existent.
A waste of money and time

Strepitoso
Penso sia l’app più innovativa e geniale di tutte. Non si può fare a meno di Camelot 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Auto scrolling
The App is really great. We use it to the complete scenes in our band.
The only enhancement would be if the attachments could be auto scrolled in accordance with the timeline or the duration of the song.
This would avoid a foot switch scrolling.
However the app is great for live performance.

Rivoluzionario
Da musicista totalmente dedito all’hardware sono passato ad un setup agilissimo costituito da iPad e due controller midi, CamelotPro é l’unico HOST che mi permette di avere tutte le mie app al mio servizio in qualsivoglia setlist ben organizzate e pronte all’uso, gestisco sequenze’ suoni live, effetti e minitoring. Must have

Excellent App
This app is essentially MainStage for IOS but better. Please keep going with this App development!
Doit progresser
Je viens d’acquérir Camelot-pro.
Travaillant depuis longtemps sur Multitracker, je joue guitare et chant sur des backing-tracks audios.
Tout de suite ce que trouve comme manque.
Pas de version française. Pour moi rédhibitoire.
Pas de possibilités d’ėqualiser ou de compresser la piste backing track. Gros manque au vue des possibilités de cette application.
Multitracker le fait !
Pour le reste je dėcouvre l’application et je vais essayer de monter un set.
Cordialement

Ziemlich praxisnah, aber es fehlt etwas entscheidendes!
Was nützen mir die ganzen for eingestellten Instrumente wenn ich keine eigenen anlegen kann, und damit meine ich eigene Bankstrukturen oder Herstellerspezifischen Strings für Presetdumps einzubauende
Notes
I’m using Camelot Pro at home with Overloud TH-U and I like it. I’m trialing it at church tomorrow to view my chord charts only. I’m at a new church and they are using OnSong and they can hand write notes on the chord charts. I can add a note in Camelot but it has to be typed. It would be really great if I could use my finger or Apple stylus to cross out something or jot down a chord change. I’d rather not add another App just to be able to do that.
