NOT USABLE AT THIS MOMENT! PLEASE FIX THE WEBPAGE ASAP!

When i open up the app it says i should go to onlx.ltd/ctrl but THIS IS A 404 PAGE.

To my understanding, i should be able to find some sort of client for pc from this site but since it is not available, i have no way to connect my tablet to pc at all.

I tried out CTRL FOR IPAD app and it works fine, but it has so much functions that exceeds my needs and i just want no more than some simple midi cc sliders. So here i am to try this app which seems like a simpler version of CTRL, only to find the support page invalid.

Maybe developers has forgotten about this app? It's unlikely because it was updated just 4 weeks ago, even more up to date than CTRL FOR IPAD app.

Anyway please fix the 404 webpage asap. would be appreciated.

P.S. Have you considered giving your apps a distinguishable name? The current names are too hard to dig out from oceans of irrelevant items not only when googling but also in app store.

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. It looks like you tried Ctrl Suite ahead of our new webpage going live. All updated now. - Ctrl Player (part of Ctrl Suite) is designed for larger installations, allowing multiple tablets, PC’s and macs to be synchronised over the local network. (You can find out more at https://onlx.ltd/ctrl-suite ). If you are looking for a cost effective method to output OSC or MIDI, check out the Ctrl for iPad Core license. This tier allows MIDI or OSC to be output from Ctrl for iPad at a lower cost.
