Velocity Keyboard

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.

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.

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.

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!! :-)

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!

I’ve deleted and re-installed the app. Not getting any audio when playing. On iPad 2020 Pro with iOS15.

I design and repair analog and digital music circuits professionally, i’m an expert player, I’ve been using midi since before cakewalk existed and I have looked all over the goddamn place for an MPE controller for my iPad. I also recently ended my journey into the endless settings of GeoShred because this is MPE controller works more intuitively. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

I use an iPad and I use iFretless and its a very nice instrument. I was anticipating an empty iFretless, but that’s not at all what you get. The interface on this is awful. It needs a graphic update and better size scalability in AUV3. I won’t use standalone. It may have the touch sensitivity, but it doesn’t play the same way as iFretless. It’s actually the opposite, not fun to play. I’d ask for a refund, but I’m hoping this gets a serious overhaul update, the technology is fantastic! I tried running iFretless as a controller and it works, but seems buggy... this intrigued me. The idea is great! Thanks!

This app does not deliver the advertised velocity control. It consistently continues sending midi notes and the only way to stop it is to disconnect it from what it’s controlling. The interface is flat, monochrome, and it’s difficult to see what is engaged. The row of buttons at the interface top is unexplained. Changing values there seems to have no effect and the buttons revert to some default value on their own. There is a help section but no manual. There is also no way to give the developer feedback via their website, or obtain support. Two is a generous rating.

Certainly the best and most expressive control surface i have used. The bad reviews are from people who either dont understand what midi is or just misread the details, it is an excellent AU from an outstanding developer.
