Awesome!

Please make an iPad version of this for more touch surface area!

Disastrous with Digital Performer 10

I tried using this app to control Digital Performer10.11, because it had built-in support for DP.

Itโ€™s attractive and seems well-designed. But when I try a simple trigger for Transport-Slow Forward, DP hangs in an unstoppable loop, scrolling forward until you force-quit.

There are other examples of triggers not quite working correctly, but this is the most dramatic.

Also, to be fair, the gesture control language is clever, but Iโ€™d rather have a Metagrid-style control board on my iPhone, which I was hoping Metapad would support; it does not.

I think Iโ€™ll have to switch to TouchOSC instead.
