    1. MIDI Poly Pressure is really a big thing. most virtual instruments don’t even accept it yet, and most midi controllers don’t even output it. But a $20 ipad app does?!?! Thats pretty awesome!!

  1. Is the blue background necessary behind the extended keys? I’m not sure i like that. It looks like the prototype step before the finished version. In wavemapper it is just the key outlines without a transparent background rectangle. This looks much better no? It’s also hard to see the extended key outlines as is. I would get rid of the blue bkgd and make the outlines darker? And then maybe make the upper panels scrollable like in ims-20.

    Still an improvement though.
