I wonder if this will be useful to Mainstage 2 users.
That settles it, when iPad3 comes out, I’m getting it.
Any benefits over touch osc logic template?
I just loaded it up and it feels more like operating a piece of hardware compared to TouchOSC…. but apart from that they’re pretty similar. I get the feeling I’ll be switching to this though.
