I do like this product, it is very useful, but I do have some issues and suggestions. 1. When selecting through the different modes, keyboard, notes, and sliders, it scrolls through them instead of going to the one I click on, same with the color choices. Nothing too bad, just a little annoying. 2. On the UI for the notes board, the words between the - and + get cut off, so I am unsure of what I'm selecting exactly. 3. This is just a suggestion, but I wouldn't mind having a custom option where I could select a mixture of notes and sliders and have them next to one another. Have keyboarded, notes, sliders, and "edit/ custom mode," just an idea. I use this program with Adobe's Character Animator, and being able to trigger animations while using the sliders to change the x and y positions would be handy. Just a suggestion though. I do hope this program does evolve and becomes more streamlined. I do find it quite useful, but a little cumbersome to use properly.

I've been having trouble trying to find a midi controller app that works with my Hardware and this one seems to work pretty well. Would love to have the option to move the pads around

Very useful app that allows your phone to be used as a midi keyboard, launchpad, or slider panel. The developer is active, willing to take feedback, and motivated to improve the already great app. Good job.

It won't work on my Roland Fa06. I want to use it to change studio sets.

Hi, so I have an issue. When connected, Ableton recognizes my device (Samsung Galaxy Core A3), however, on the app, it shows no device connected? Is there something I'm doing wrong, and how do I fix it please? Edit: I just updated the app, and I'm still having the same issue. At this point, I'm starting to think it's my device
