Se permitisse ativar com um controlador midi externo seria bastante útil. Além de poder incluir os audios personalizados pelo usuário. ### 1/5 — Not connect!!! *2020-12-26* Не соединяется и постоянно выключается. Почините пожалуйста ### 5/5 — Fantastico *2016-11-07* Melhor player para trilhas que existe ! Uso a anos e é um verdadeiro show ... Recomendo a Musícos e djs ... é top mesmo ! ### 4/5 — Seriously people? *2014-12-29* This app works fine for what it is. It's a remote app, wifi connected to your DJ PC running the black cat cart, so that you can walk around, meet guests, etc, while still able to select music via your iPad without being forced to stay behind your DJ booth. For the dimwits who don't bother to dig for info and choose instead to leave negative reviews, simply because it's not what they thought it was, you're idiots. ### 1/5 — Bait & Switch *2014-05-17* As the other reviewer stated, this is not an app. If Black Cat had any integrity, they'd remove this "Sound Byte Control." I'd hoped to test out the app before purchasing but there's nothing here - just a redirect. Bad form. ### 1/5 — Not an app *2013-05-27* Not really an app. Took me to a message that was more trouble than its worth. Boo. ### 3/5 — Fantastic - when it works *2012-05-03* This is, basically, a remote control interface for the Sound Byte sound board/cart machine running on a computer. Via your wireless network you can play sounds loaded into your Sound Byte rack(s). The Sound Byte program just has to be running on the PC. It doesn't even have to have focus. For features and usability, I give this program 5 stars. I subtract two for instability. The Good: - Seamless interface with the PC - What you see on the PC, you see on the iPad - Changes to colors, labels, etc. are immediately reflected on the iPad - Simple touch-and-play interface - Great alternative to hot-key mapping The bad: - After playing less than 5 or so sounds, the buttons stop working. It's like an IR remote with weak batteries. - Have to relaunch if it becomes unresponsive - Sometimes have to kill it in the quick launch on relaunch because it won't reconnect to the PC - Crashes frequently I tried using it during a podcast last night. I had to restart it at least a dozen times (or more) and missed several queues. Fix the stability issues and you've got yourself a 5-star interface. ### 4/5 — Not Bad *2012-04-13* Does what it's meant to, but the "mute" "abort" and "pause" buttons on the iPad app don't have any affect on the playing Mac. Fix these and it would be a five-star rating, as it's designed to be a remote, not an actual player (which is why I think this has a low rating) I'm running a 2010 MacBook White with 4GB RAM and a 3rd Gen iPad. ### 5/5 — Does what it supposed to do *2012-03-08* Ignore the bad ratings. It controls soundbyte which needs to be installed on a computer first. After that it works perfectly. Remember it's called sound byte *control*. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2011-01-03* Installed on iPad & iPhone. Works like a charm. ## Frequently asked questions about Remote Control For Sound Byte Cart Machine Program ### What is Sound Byte Control?
