sounds good, but..

where is the midi sustain pedal? Cc64 doesn’t affect it, without a sustain midi option it’s pretty useless as a piano app. There is a tiny little sustain button on the left, but requires using your hand for sustaining notes, and no midi learn? maybe I’m missing something? Nearly Every piano and synth app I use responds to a CC64 latch or sustain command. I bought the suite, the other app doesn’t respond to CC64 either.

Am I missing something? (Not any more!)

(Previous comment: Every time the app is opened it reverts back to default settings. Is there no way to load/save the settings?) Thanks for the latest update, which solves the above problem and is just perfect 👍👍👍

Great sound and great price

This app is great. The sound is fantastic for the price and size (800mb total download). I have many pricey vsts on pc that I’m comparing against. The controls are very basic but adequate in most regards, though one significant missing item is the ability to create a custom velocity curve. There are 3 preset curves, but I only find one of them usable and still want to tweak it a little to increase the playability. Seems like an easy addition and a shame it’s missing. Let’s hope a future update fixes that (though I still think it is 5 stars as is).
