Great idea, well made

Love this concept, way better than TouchOSC nightmares! Also love that there’s option for wired / passthru 🤘

Response from developer

Thank you so much. I appreciate the feedback. Much more to come! Passthru is wicked fun I agree. Got you 🫡 Best, Mitchell

Sheeeeesh 🔥

I’m an independent rap artist and this app is wild. I set up my own sliders and pads for beats and effects, and it’s way easier than lugging around extra gear. Focus Mode is awesome when I need to fine tune stuff, and I love that I can switch layouts between studio and live shows.The best part is how smooth it connects. Bluetooth, USB, whatever, it just works. I even messed around with Tandem Mode and it feels like my producer’s right there with me.

For real, if you make music and want more control without breaking the bank, this is it. Definitely worth $15!

Can you add a doughnut knob? 🍩😂
