    Brilliant!
    This is the most intuitive and elegant application of its kind. Super fun to use as a creative tool.

    Must. Have.
    Audiobus. Lovely thingie. Great idea on the chord progressions etc. But. Must. Have. Yeah, you got it.... Audiobus. Simple as that.

    Beautiful
    Please add feature that will allow midi file (Type 0) import and/or ability to input chords per pad via keyboard controller. I'm hopeful with this being version 1, the bugs causing the app to crash will be taken care of ;-) Great app no doubt! Show more

    Powerful
    I've been using the same developer's StepPolyArp for about a year. There are different ways to use his new app, but for playing synth pads it's unbeatable. It's easy to line up all of the chords in your song, and then set up the X-Y surface for expression. (For example: X can be velocity range and Y can be the mod wheel range.) So far my only suggestions are: (1) add Audiobus, (2) have an option so that, when you select a pad, the chord library starts with the pad's existing chord, (3) let the onscreen keyboard actually send MIDI notes. But this is already a five-star app. Show more

    Great app!!!
    Wow. This is what I have been looking for. Great for chord progressions. Love the user interface. But as one review has said please add audiobus.

    This is a class act!
    A very, very nice app for playing chords over MIDI to another app ( synth or recording DAW ). It does have some built in sounds too … but works *beautifully* to control other instruments ( as long as they are written well of course ). Easy to use and configure … nothing to dislike. As already mentioned AudioBus support would be good to control the transport of an iOS DAW ( Cubasis in my case ) since switching via the launcher is a bit fiddly. I'd also love a strip under the pads to trigger scales / solos / passing notes . Maybe just use the existing keyboard! ??? But it's worth the purchase as is!! Show more

    Excellent controller, one request though
    Very useful composition tool with virtual midi goodness. Thanks! Please consider adding audiobus panel because it makes it a LOT easier to use in a recording situation. Otherwise, well done. Show more
