missing important features
- No step encoders
- No possibility to save/recall presets (settings)
- No detection of MIDI on Bluetooth. It’s required to run an app as Garageband, to link the MIDI via bluetooth, to be able to use it on touchosc. Very bad.
- Not any reading from MIDI, in order to light real LEDs or counters etc
This used to be the best
But nowadays you cannot possibly expect people to have java6 installed on their mac. The companion app won't start, and java6 is no longer installable on modern macs.
Awesome!!!
Works great!!! Logic under control! I love it. Works with ableton and traktor like a charm. Looks like I saved a lot of money on controllers! Thanks guys!!! P.S. Who wants my novation nocturn? :)
Amazing
Amazing application. Easy to use and responsive.
Would like to see some extra features in the near future, like, custom colors or button layouts.
Great
Was up and runing in 5 min to control ableton live I have a small lemur now great app!
Amazing
I use this for turning my iPhone into a midicontroller for Virtual DJ, and it works like a dream! The connection is real time and wireless, it looks great, and you can create your own lay-out (which is even not too difficult)! Simply amazing...
