Good synth, annoying keyboard

Surprisingly good synth, but rendered a bit annoying by the very short keyboard and unnecessary dead-zone at the bottom of the keys. Considering there’s a whole load of unused space at the top of the screen the keys could be a lot more playable (see the Korg apps for great playable keyboards). Also lacks a Bluetooth button, so I have to go via a different synth app, D1, to connect to my external keyboard.
