Confused / is it working?

Installed the app onto my iPad. For the most part it seems to work. However, if I use my external keyboard, the settings in the app are ignored. I am trying to play solo-saxophone with my midi keyboard. However, no matter what settings I set - the external midi keyboard gives the same sounds (not saxophone).

The best horn emulator available.

This app has literally changed my musical life. I love Jamaican music and Big Band. However, although I can play most instruments, I cannot play brass. This is the solution. I play it through my m audio keyboard using usually three or four tracks dedicated for brass layers. The best part is that they have come the closest you can to solving the issue of nuance with brass instruments. There are several different textures and combinations to choose from as well such as: doits, shakes, falls, crescendos, etc.

Pretty good

I love it! Congratulations on making a great app

One pointer, the keyboard is very small and makes it VERY HARD to attempt to play the right notes

Needs another update ASAP

Using iPad Pro 14.6 and sounds grt! Had to repost review. I thought software was glitchy, found out it was my 3.5 aux cord going bad. Brass instruments are just what I needed in my Arsenal. Already produced a song in first hour. Nice job guys. 5 star. 👍

Wow just wow

Bloody heck this is amazing, just wait till the lads in the band I am in hears this, it will blow there minds. I am very impressed at the quality and realism. Top marks guys.
