This app paired with the edmx1 pro is so easy to use! I am pretty tech savvy though. I set up my 4 in 1 light by Marygel, hooked this thing up, and within an hour, I had set up a light show in Cubasis, exported it as .mid, imported the .mid file to Multitracker and BOOM! I have a perfectly timed light show with my backing tracks. This is a great app. Worth the money to me, because we make decent money using our backing tracks.
Effective Program for my band

This program has done exactly what I need it to do. Receives midi instructions from my click track and that activates scenes I have programmed for each song. The support has been very responsive. The community has been a help too. Hopefully it will continue to add additional features as time passed.

I have a 3 major gigs in two weeks, and purchased the pro version just be told I have to pay more money just to use it. I want a refund…..
Developer Response
Hello,Your Pro purchase is 100% valid and gives you lifetime access to everything that was included at the time you bought it. No extra payment is needed to use what you paid for.The subscription you may have seen is only for new features we're rolling out in 2026 and beyond. It has nothing to do with your existing Pro license.We're in a transition period right now, so we completely understand the confusion, and we're sorry for the stress this caused right before your shows.If you have any questions or need help getting set up before your gigs, feel free to reach out through our community. We're happy to help!And if you'd still prefer a refund, we can make that happes on the Apple Refond Platform, though you would lose your lifetime Pro access.Enjoy your gigs!
