### 4/5 — Was not expecting this from Studiologic! Great Job!

*2026-07-26, version 2.2.2*

Very nice sounds and interface. Definitely would have paid for this. Only wish that the Rhodes, Clavinets, and even Harpsichord sounds had release samples. Maybe in an update?

### 1/5 — Can’t get USB audio to work

*2026-07-25, version 2.2.2*

I think it’s weird that although this is made to work with SL controllers I can’t get the app to play over USB audio on my SL 88 Mk2….any other app I’ve hooked up to the SL played immediately … although in the app there’s a field to select the audio output I can’t make a selection for my SL 88
