CONNECTIONS
Mac supports USB MIDI, Bluetooth MIDI, and Wi-Fi Network MIDI. A direct USB connection is recommended for consistent timing and low latency. Wireless responsiveness depends on your equipment, signal quality, and interference.

Windows connects over a shared local network using rtpMIDI and Bonjour. Direct iPad-to-Windows USB MIDI and Windows Bluetooth MIDI are not supported. Windows compatibility has not been fully validated across configurations.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
Eligible new users can try every feature free for 7 days. Use the trial to check your computer, connection, and workflow before purchasing, especially with a Windows setup.

You can set up your connection before starting the trial. Your 7 days begin only when you tap Start Free 7-Day Trial and confirm through the App Store. There is no automatic charge or renewal.

After the trial, a one-time in-app purchase unlocks Reach’s performance and editing features. The Full Version price is shown before purchase. No subscription. Restore purchases using the same Apple Account.
