  1. got it but i am waiting for some tutorials 😉
    to busy to read manuals
    nice sounds but I cant control it yet

  2. It isn’t multitouch? I may wait on an update then, I love the Apesoft’s iDensity & iPulsaret but they both have really fiddly controls..

  3. not multitouch that i can see/use. maybe there’s some way to make it so after reading the manual.

    still, the sound possibilities are very cool.

    i too have ipulsaret and there are some great things about it. but i really wish the controller routing for it and this new app was not global. they really should make it be on a per-patch basis. (hopefully they’ll read this and update it so that it is).

    i’ve held off on idensity because it seems like the same engine as ipulsaret with a different control skin and i don’t really relish buying the same basic app at that price . . . if/when it goes on sale, i might.
