Beste Looper AUv3

Einfach zu benutzen und vollgepackt mit tollen und brauchbaren Funktionen. Nicht wegzudenken für mich als Ambient Gitarrist.

Basically great

Actually a very good app. Only the MIDI control doesn't work. I have Enso for Mac and Windows too, and it all works. But not on the iPad. Support? No response.

I love it..when it works...unfortunately too unstable

It could be an amazing looper...but...too many issues...i hit rec and wont record..i have to unloaded and loaded back a few times and sometimes it will eventually work...to make it more infuriating...that means i have to redo all midi mappings! Arghh!...but...when i get it to work its great! Please fix this! Thanks

Good app but why does midi control not work in Logic Pro

Good app but why does midi control not work in Logic Pro?
Even using a modifier does not allow midi learn to control parameters of enso.

I wanted to love this thing but…

There is a serious bug with this thing that caused me to give up on it entirely, and that is this horribly intrusive audio popping/clicking, either when using the Sectors tool to switch between sectors within a loop, or switching between FWD and REV playback modes within the same sector. I was initially hopeful that using x-fades between sectors might resolve the issue, but that was only a partial success. To be honest, I’m scratching my head trying to understand how a glitch this bad could escape the attention of the developers before commercializing the product. In all other respects, Enzo *looks* like a great tool, but looks alone are not enough; the audio quality needs to be top-notch as well, and in my experience, it isn’t with this app. I was also disappointed that a week after sending a tech support query to the developer, they have not responded. I would not recommend Enso to a friend.
