제가 딱 찾던앱

미디 드럼패드용으로 쓸려고 샀는데 집에있는 전자피아노와도 블루투스로 바로 연결돼서 놀랐음

Pésimo

Se ofrece de paga pero te pone anuncios y para quitarlos tienes que volver a pagar. Debería de darles tantita pena.

No funciona nada

Simple and Functional

I use this app to trigger click tracks in Ableton Live. The only thing that could be improved is the ability to turn my phone display off and maintain connectivity.
