Great app! Just one problem
I use this app heavily for live performance. The only problem, is that when I export my surfaces to the Cloud and try to import them to my surface app under the same Apple account on a different iPad (with the same IOS version) the app imports the surface successfully, but when I launch it, it closes out the app immediately (making the imported surface of no value except on the iPad on which the surface was created). Very unfortunate. Otherwise, if you create and only use the surface on the iPad on which it was created, you are good. The Export/Import doesn’t work at this time. If it can be shared across iPads, this is a five star!!

Excellent surface builder.
There are a few midi surface builder apps out there, but this is by far the best. Clean, intuitive design, AUv3 support is a game changer. 5 stars.

Good plugin but still kind of find it difficult.
I was hoping that I can make my vocal sound like
whatever audio I’ve import on here as reference
audio and it doesn’t do anything to my vocals I’m
only limited to the effects I can use and not the
ones I want to create, I was really looking forward
to re-creating plug-ins I don’t have access or
effects. I just want to make for fun.
I think there should be an option where we could
just support reference audio and have the effect
sound accurate to whatever we import like I think
there should be a knob that allows me to import
my own audio, it would make things easier so that
way I can actually apply the effect I want to my
vocals perhaps an options to add presets onto
my effect something like a convolution effect
to add to my vocals it could work for reverb

Doesn’t allow remapping of incoming CCs?
This plugin is really impressive and deep! I was able to quickly create a complex control panel for my vintage synth. After a bit of a learning curve, I had over 30 on screen controls correcting controlling the synth. And the panel looked good! I ran into an issue when it was time to control the plug-in with my MIDI CC knob box. The problem is that when you map an on-screen control to an INCOMING MIDI CC number, it also sets the OUTPUT control number to the same number. My MIDI knob box has fixed controller numbers for the knobs. My synth (Sequential Circuits Six-Trak) and my CC knob box (keyfax phatboy) are both vintage pieces that don’t allow the CC numbers to be re-assigned. I was thinking this plug-in would be the “go between” between my knobs and my synth. Not only could I operate the synth from my iPad screen, but also from my knob box, while watching the changes on screen (so I thought).
There IS a MIDI learn feature in the plug-in, but it’s deep in the edit menu for each separate control. And again it's just one setting, the input and output CC number has to be the same.
They need to add a faster MIDI mapping function (outside of the edit mode) where you can enter a learn mode, wiggle each on-screen control and then turn a physical knob or fader on your MIDI contoller, all in rapid succession without entering an edit menu for each single control. In other words, once you’ve made your perfect control panel, you won’t be able to go through and quickly map your CC numbers like you can on most popular synth plugins (TAL U no, Model D, Synth One, etc)
Let me know if I’m wrong, but there is no way to have an on-screen knob RESPOND to one MIDI CC number while TRANSMITTING a different CC number. (I’m not talking about the value but the controller number).

Crashes with show/hide function
I bought the app to replace my Liine Lemur interface for MakeMusic Finale. Generally speaking the app it is not as good as I expected for several reasons, I'll name just a few of them: basic editing shortcuts missing (copy, paste, selecting more than one object at a time etc.); the grid can be helpful but in most cases it would better to determine objects sizes in a more precise way (pixels?); images and custom icons needs a lot of work to look good; using HSB for colors is already complicated, it is made even more complicated by the fact that you have to convert all the values in 256th; you can't set the size of each surface preciseley, only with increase decrease of 50px...
But the what made it impossible to use was a bug: when you use the show/hide function it works only if you have a few objects in the surface, otherwise it crashes the editor (this happens on a iPad, on a MBPm1 and on an iPhone)...

Great app. One little bug…
Incredibly flexible and highly functional. I’ve used another similar product that feels like an old Win95 application. Would *like* some flashier appearance options (But you *can* use a picture for backgrounds which is outstanding!) Easy to learn and a great complement to any hardware controller.
One little bug though. Setting any control to send a cc127 and then saving the changed value resets the value to cc0. Set it to cc126 and it saves fine.

Midi control made easy
I just made an interface for the Elektron Digitone. All I can say is I’m impressed. One of the easiest interface builders I’ve used.
It’s on patchstorage.com and called Digitone.
It took a lot of time to create, but quick simple things and be done in minutes, if you have a little MIDI know-how.

L’Excellence!
Juste pouvoir sauvegarder la fenêtre maximisée…pour le confort en live play. Une sixième étoile ? Soon.
The one with LFOs
It is quite a surprise to find out that lfos can be sent by pressing a simple button. I just miss is a couple of random lfo options. Waiting for the next update!
Great toolbox!
Thanks so much for 14 bit MIDI support!
Super useful
I’ve been using it for a couple weeks and it’s super useful and very easy to use and set up. I have other apps that can send MIDI commands but I like this because it’s easy to set up a few buttons or knobs to control other apps in AUM, and control the transport, change presets, and other stuff across multiple apps from a single pane. I’m currently using it to control Hip-Hop Drummer. Great app with great support.

Sooo helpful
Great app to assist a streamlined workflow in music creation/production. Developer bats it out of the park once again.
Quite easy to learn too despite it’s many functions.

Great AUv3 compatible controller app, but please make preset export easier.
I like the look of this app and how it is fairly easy to create AUv3 compatible control surfaces. Please make preset export easier. Drag and drop between apps is cumbersome (at least for me). My preference would be to slide a preset, and then you get three buttons: Rename, Export, Delete.
