The best realtime MIDI keyboard. It has very little latency, and it's ideal for playing and practicing without needing a full DAW
Love this app! 💖 Only thing else I could ask for would be able to save my favorites in a specific section of the app & a midi map feature! Solid work! Update: I keep running into a glitch where no audio is output & I have to reinstall the app everytime to fix it
Worked for a while. Then started ringing as long as a controller was plugged in. Even after app closed
