What's New in iPG

1.4.2

March 28, 2017

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Fixed Parameter Request Command and Midi channel setting in the D-50 mode. Thanks to John Conway for noticing this bug. iPG-800 is fully compatible with the new Roland D-05. Doesn't support Vecoven V4 Version for the JX-10.

Super JX unleashed

Seems like everyone fell asleep on this for the last few years, but just stopping by to say that this little app is superb. I have the beasty MKS-70, and this little app makes sound creation very accessible.

… Let me ask this - could you possibly develop an MKS-80 app? I’d be the first in line.

Essential if you have a MIDI enabled iPad.

I have only tested this with my Alpha Juno 1 at the moment, but also have a D-50 and a JX-8P to try.

Simply works straight ‘out of the box’ for the Juno, with no noticeable lag. Amazing, No Brainer alternative to getting a dedicated Roland PG programmer - which like much old 80’s gear, are over priced and suffer from reliability issues.

I am using this with an irig 2 interface with no issues whatsoever.

Simply brilliant

I have an MKS-70 and a Alpha Juno 2. Programming has always been a chore.....until now that is. This app has changed the game as far as these synth are concerned. If any of you out there a wondering about this app, buy it, just buy it, you will not regret it.
