Ratings and Reviews
Awesome!
Please make an iPad version of this for more touch surface area!
Disastrous with Digital Performer 10
I tried using this app to control Digital Performer10.11, because it had built-in support for DP.
It’s attractive and seems well-designed. But when I try a simple trigger for Transport-Slow Forward, DP hangs in an unstoppable loop, scrolling forward until you force-quit.
There are other examples of triggers not quite working correctly, but this is the most dramatic.
Also, to be fair, the gesture control language is clever, but I’d rather have a Metagrid-style control board on my iPhone, which I was hoping Metapad would support; it does not.
I think I’ll have to switch to TouchOSC instead.
