Still the best

to this day! Best Keys on iOS!

Superlative

Fantastic and extensively tweakable MIDI controller from a very responsive developer who has been a leader in IOS fretboard controller innovation since the earliest days of IOS.

Really is magic

I did an iPad gig with organ with the rotary active on the Y access. Just great and a sensible layout with a fair amount of custom ability.

Not good for iPad to MacBook connection

This will not connect to Logic as a controller. Neither will it connect to BFD3. I believe this is to control iPad apps only and is not usable as a midi controller for the MacBook wired or not. Thoroughly disappointed I spent $10 to find that out. The app also crashes a lot, and sometimes the scale is on the page, but only when the app feels like it wants it there. No matter the buttons I push I cannot get the Scale to show on the keys unless I am in drum pad.

A must have tool for iPad music making!

Thank you to the devs for the recent update that fixed OS26 issues!

This is far and away my favorite midi input app for iPad. Super flexible, but still nice and simple. Perfect for using as an AUv3 controller inside Logic and AUM. Being a Linnstrument user in my home studio, this app gives me the playing surface I’m used to on-screen turning my iPad into a fantastic portable music making machine. Worth every penny!

splendid

Perfect for plane and train journeys as to not have to pull out the linnstrument, and get some pad practice in. marvelous

Surprisingly good!

I come from playing all my synths via a Linnstrument and needed something for when I cant bring it. I am very surprised about how well everything translates, including velocity (when played around a bit with the settings).

Definite recommendation!

You Need This

I am using currently With AUM and ISymphonic. I have multiple isymphonics (you need this too) open creating quite dramatic sessions, with pianos, strings , tremolo strings and woodwinds. I am controlling all with this app. I find the chords I can create on this square keyboard take me places I don’t seem to reach on a standard keyboard.

Best note controller app

It is. But it could use more layouts and it‘s hard to figure out the right settings for the right app.

I have to add though that the app asked me to rate it while I was making music. That’s not ok. Especially for a paid musical app.

Flexible and Nice

Great controller for all sorts of expressive MIDI input. Highly recommend!

Great MPE keyboard

Thanks! This keyboard is a great alternative to hardware MPE keyboards and also to Geoshred (which does not have velocity sensing). **Only one small suggestion:** please allow to set the output MIDI channel in Auv3 mode, I have to use a MIDI channel mapper plugin to get around this limitation.

preset no work

新版本问题多

surface to pressure

It feels like velocity keyboard uses how much of your finger touches the screen to interpret the amount of pressure you're using. You need to use it on a pillow or something to get a bit more give.

Great controller

Really great controller…..works fine….very much liked it,..thank you

Doesn’t output sound on its own

I bought this thinking it would produce sound on my iPad but it appears to be a MIDI controller with no voices of its own. I wouldn’t mind using GarageBand through Audiobus but it appears it only works through MIDI. Maybe the developer will enable this in the future, but the app seems to no longer be under development. I’ve asked for a refund because I don’t have a MIDI instrument so this is useless for me.

Still one of the best touch screen keyboards

I’ve been using this for years and have purchased many keyboard controllers. There are many good ones, but this is by far the most expressive and fun. If you dial it in for each synth, you’ll understand why. Great with software and hardware synths.

Great App - PLEASE let user choose leftmost key

Love the app ! Easy, responsive, fun, expressive. Enhances my experience of playing synths!

But in keyboard layout PLEASE allow user to choose the leftmost key in each row !! Why should this be fixed at C?

E.g.
- my song has a lowest key of B and I have to waste 11 keys to its left (unused in that song)
- I want to play rapid runs that go across different rows of keys without bouncing my hand around. To do this I need to choose the overlap of keys of each row, the keyboard equivalent of the Tuning System option in strings layout.

Pretty please!! :-)

This is the best you can get

The app works like a charm, using it with usb kit to midi for controlling any vst, including MPE supporting ones.
The velocity sensing actually works very well, you just have to try which sensitivity and curve settings works best for you.

1 star off because I’d really like to see some personnalization features (far from being a deal breaker, but it would be very cool to be able to match the colors and the font of the interface with other tools of a live set for example).

When messing with the app, the idea of using the apple pencil with the app came to my mind and it kinda works already (one issue is that it sets touch radius to max value for some reason). Maybe it seems useless, but maybe it could be a good idea to be able to use the tilt and pressure from the pencil to control CCs ?
Would make this app the ultimate stylophone killer, but hey, who wants to be that anyway ?

Sincere thanks to the devs for this wonderful instrument, apps like this one keeps on making my iPad a surprisingly awesome investment for music making.

Thank you for the update!

I recommended that there be an option for the app to place the sustain button on the bottom of the screen for easier and more functional playability, and the devs listened!! It's perfect, it's the only midi controller i use now for everything!
