### 1/5 — Direi di no

*2020-10-08, version 3.33*

Provata con fm3.  Non va anche con cavo midi usb  mmmmA.

### 1/5 — Limited to point of useless

*2020-01-25*

Can’t do anything other than opening a preset , not worth the time to even fire up the iPad for that

### 4/5 — Max

*2019-01-28, version 3.02*

Buon supporto con un interfaccia utente simile al  AXE edit .Per effettuare rapidi aggiustamenti ai rig Live. Quando non si dispone di un Mac o un PC.

### 3/5 — Full Version is Way Too Expensive

*2017-08-12*

Please make the full version cheaper as it is way too expensive for most of us and more people would buy it.
