### 2/5 — Bad GUI

*2022-08-30*

This app is a joke. Tiny fonts and design like old windows system 98. Don’t waste your time

**Developer response:** All of the editors are scalable so if you want larger fonts, just make the editor larger.

### 1/5 — Have not been able to use with my m audio keystation via USB

*2020-01-21*

Does this app contain an Omni midi setting? I have no issues with my other piano / synth apps. I am unable to get a single sound out of this app. Hope I did not waste my money.
