R-KONTROL

I follow this app since launch and I really like it. With the new auto connect freature you get fast remote control to use it at the booth away from the computer.

The app is good, but I would not use it in a real live gig because of these problems: - The clips in the view are way too small & cannot be changed in size. The tiny arrow has to be exactly pressed to start a clip or scene. - The iPad is not prevented to go into sleep mode when running the app. Re-authenting during a live gig could be a super problem. - Which is the currently running scene is not always obvious. It would be good to highlight the currently active scene row. - The app connects via LAN to the computer running Bitwig. This is for several reasons not a good choice: LAN is not available on any live location. The connection is not secured. So anybody can probably at least disturb it. LAN could be broken. Better option would be via Bluetooth and rock-solid would be via USB. Once these problems are fixed, I will definitely use it and rate it with 5 stars. The basic idea of this app is awesome!

the steps are not properly ordered in docs and somehow confusing… starting the very first sentence in a documentation with „When“ instead if a clear advice what to do as first step is confusing. Also, the app could give some message when it sees the configuration has been set successfully and a connection is established. as far as I see one has to some how find that exploratively… at best users should not be forced to manually fiddle with ip adresses. but bonjour being used.

There’s issues, mostly about how the app seems to update the current status of project. Makes it annoying to use beyond basic control. Response time is noticeable slowe when compared to other OSC applications I was really hoping this app would be like the “Touchable Pro” app for Ableton which is fantastic, but this just under delivers and fails occasionally when doing simple stuff.

Not ready to review the functionality yet, but I wanted to update my one star review, now that I finally figured out how to connect.

Tried to get this to connect for hours of opening ports,etc. but no luck. Sent a help request to the email in the online handbook. It bounced back. Hopefully the creator will see this and correct this. This would be a terrific tool if it worked.

Grabbed this when it dropped and forgot about it after using it for a bit. Boy did I sleep, this is essential for Bitwig Users and highly recommended.

This app is great and very easy to use. Perfect for those of us recording ourselves and need mic stand access to start / stop recording.

I'm migrating from Ableton to Bitwig and I missed LK. This is a bit clunky to setup, it can't autodiscover the IPs, but it seems to be working. I can launch and stop clips which is the big thing I was missing. Looks to be well supported.

Spent about an hour trying to configure this app and no matter what I did I could not make the connection. As much I would love to get this app a favorable review, unfortunately I can’t.
