Not robust

Only kinda works. Can't edit controls after placing. Must recreate. Keyboard covers controls. Can't dismiss numeric keyboard. Can't adjust scale of controls. Annoyingly long press to move controls. Can't create a layout unless connected to a midi server. Not worth your frustration.

The V 1.7 update significantly improved the app! I gave it another try and it’s a keeper!

***This is a complete revision of my initial review****. I wanted to like this app from the very beginning and I finally can. It is good to see that the developer of the app is serious about improving it. The recent update addressed a lot of serious issues the app had. MIDI is more reliable now, controls, clarity of labels and overall responsiveness greatly improved. I think this app can be a useful tool now. I still wish the sequencer was bigger and allowed accurate creation of patterns quicker, hopefully one day...

Purchased version

It was ok but After updating to ipados app does not open.

Works great

Super easy to configure and very stable. Looks great with many choices in layout and assigning CC values to controls could not be more obvious. It just works exactly as you’d expect it to. Nice App.

Wonderful.

Works like a charm.
