Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Absolutely Incredible

    By TuckerFatal (Pcmac user)

    This app is magnificent. I am currently without any music-making hardware, so the MIDI keyboard and pads features are a godsend. The latency isn’t great over WiFi but with a simple usb connection from your iPhone/iPad to your computer it works beautifully. All the features of this app are amazing and I’m stoked to start working with it. I have a small iPhone so I might have to get an iPad just for this! The potential applications for live performance are already getting me excited. Perhaps the best part is the fact that you can pay for only the features you need, so you’re not buying a $20 app with a bunch of unnecessary stuff, depending on what you’re trying to do with it. Best music production-related app I’ve seen in a very long time, highly recommended.
  • GREAT APP FOR ABLETON LIVE 10

    By Kibwe Brathwaite (Pcmac user)

    To the devs; my only request is to please add a 64 pad option in the pad module. And now for the good part of the review... I used to own an app named ControlR which was the perfect performance controller for Live. However the company folded or something and the app disappeared after I bought all the controller modules (quite upset about that). This app seems almost the same but with the added ability to control any class compliant midi device. I definitely love this. After testing this app I'm sold on at least 3/6 modules. I really wish other developers would follow this demo-model that Imaginando uses so that it doesn't feel like it's a gamble buyingn apps. I tested the apps (this app and DRC) and used all of the features for a limited time until the prompt where I decided. Last but not least, to those reading this and comparing to Touchable Pro; I would class this app as a performance midi controller (and then some), NOT a full interface for Ableton Live (like Touchable Pro is). I personally prefer this because I have no desire to go deep into Live from my iPad. No way. Keep up the good work, devs. Cheers.
  • Battery drain, hot phone

    By Forrestdwlr (Pcmac user)

    I was really excited about this app and downloaded it a few days ago to use with Live. My phone started to get really hot when I wasn’t using it and battery would die after a couple hours. I have a brand new iPhone X so I was thinking there is something wrong with it. I realized that the app was taking 70% of my battery. There should probably be a warning message when you download it or open the app letting you know you have to force quit it, but also, it seems like this is major flaw that should be addressed. I understand this app takes a lot of processing power but no app should take 70% of battery power when it’s running especially in the background.
  • couple bugs but great interface

    By jtorcaz (Pcmac user)

    looks beautiful and controls work very seemlessly with ableton. they just need to fix a bug where ableton cannot select multiple tracks while using this app. i believe this is because this app is unable to select multiple tracks with Matrix. i’ve also ran into bugs where it would crash when sometimes selecting a track with the keyboard. otherwise it’d be a 5 from me, i do believe this app has a lot of potential despite these issues and would love to see these being fixed!
