唯一的功能全面midi路由转换软件

非常好用. very good. 希望作者能开发出AUv3插件版. i hope there is an AUv3 version.

Let down by poor support

The software appears to be comprehensive, with few other apps working on iOS 15 filling this need. Although the standalone app is a disingenuous description, its not complete and requires further payment for other key aspects.
Unfortunately trying to get support on how to use it is impossible. There’s no acknowledgment of requests for help by email. Signing up to the forum does not allow requests to be made and there are a significant number of very good questions completely ignored on the forum.
Get it if you know what you’re doing otherwise look elsewhere.

Não funciona!!!

Porque a loja fica mantendo esse aplicativo ativo se ele não funciona mais. Comprei essa semana, gastei R$ 40 e não funciona. Favor devolver o dinheiro investido.

Frequent crashes

Good features, but the app crashed several times while editing the CC map, and some of the mapped CCs are dropped during performance, making it overall unreliable for live usage.

Rip off

Does not work as advertised and support appears to be non-existent.
