  1. All these improvements are welcome. But I’m really only waiting for Midi OUT functionality. I want to be able to record my performance and quantize it.

  2. I’m really impressed with the pace the dev is setting. And I know they read Synthtopia, so:

    Hey, devs!
    +1 MIDI out
    +1 MIDI learn

    You guys are awesome.

    1. I wished all developers paid as much attention to what users have to say, here, at Facebook and at their own sites. Too many put out apps and then you never hear from them again.

      Palm is doing a great job!

  3. This little beauty will become a major fixture because Wolfgang is staying on top of it with practical and welcome adjustments. Thumbs up. About 2 more rounds and the only thing people will be able to ask for is updates for OS revisions. iPads have some growing to do, but its already possible to have a Wakeman-like setup, capability-wise. Sweet.

  4. virtual midi working great with soundprism now. Nice to have soundprism to play on instead of those little rectangles. easy solution though

    still my fav ios synth!
