    Customers say

    Customers like the quality of the audio midi controller, saying it's surprisingly good and solid. They also say it has all the makings of a great MIDI controller with the endless encoders, the faders and the endless drum pad. However, some customers have reported issues with latency, firmness and the pads. They say the pads are too firm and not responsive enough for finger drumming.

No noticeable latency for me… no double taps… no troubles. So far so good.

    Let’s get the elephant out of the room. MIDI over Bluetooth has latency. Not a lot, but it’s noticeable, and for practice, it’s okay. However, the fact that you can use this with AA batteries is great for on the go. Pads don’t double trigger for me, I think those reviewers need to update their iOS version. It’s light and small, but sturdy! Pads do need breaking in.

    The little controller feels really solid and looks like it's built well but the pads don't register half the time when you hit it even at half full or low level it's terrible. I bought it to use with koala sampler and it doesn't register right on Bluetooth at all. I'm sending this back because it just is a complete failure. Not only does it seem like there's latency but it doesn't even register the pad hit most of the time. I am using an Android Galaxy Note 20 ultra. So I'm using a high-end flagship phone and it doesn't work well. If Avatar is reading these reviews they should know they need to update that pad sensitivity and get that right then I may buy it again. I bought this on the 6th it's now the 14th and the seller still hasn't sent me my money back would not recommend buying this because you will want your money back and it will take a long time for you to get it.

    Color: MIDI KEYBOARDVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    I wanted this so that I could add different electronic elements to my guitar music, and to possibly uses as an add on midi controller for my e-drum set.
    I was able to download and install all of the software into my laptop without any issues.
    I'm still experimenting with everything that this little midi controller can do. One thing that I see, and others have mentioned in reviews, is that the pads are not very sensitive. They require quite a tap to get them to work which causes misses in the beats. The keys, however, seem to work very nicely. With the software, I'm already creating really nice grooves, and I'm definitely having a lot of fun with this.
    This would make a great gift for music creators and experimenters alike.
    The Bluetooth feature is great, and the pitch bend works great.
    You can assign pads and keys to do whatever you want which makes it a great way to control all kinds of midi devices.

    So after a month of using the device the pads are much less stiff from use and honestly I find this to be one of my favourite midi controllers for iOS.

    You are not going to find another pad controller with this much value for the price. I see a few reviews saying they get double triggers and the pads are too stiff so that warrants a lower review I guess. Imo it’s five star quality , Avatar just needs to give us a firmware update with more sensitivity, the ability to use the cursor for midi and banks of faders like the knobs.

    I’m using with Koala app. Love it. Pads don’t appear to be for finger drummers, but for sample based producers, just fine. I think the pads are great, and I’m an MPC guy. I’ve experienced no double triggers, but the sensitivity is not there for finger
    drumming. Four faders are perfect for performance fx or bus levels, and knobs for sample start points and filter.

    When connecting wirelessly, remember this is done in the midi settings of whatever music app you’re using. Not in settings/bluetooth on your phone or iPad.

     I loved the customizability of this pad. It had all the makings of a great MIDI controller with the endless encoders, the faders, and transport buttons. Unfortunately, the most important part of the product, the pads, were very disappointing. They were too firm and not responsive enough for finger drumming, making them a huge performance killer whether recording or playing live. There also does not seem to be any settings to adjust the sensitivity. A lot of missed notes, so I ended up returning it.

    @HXM, I would 100% consider this again if the sensitivity was improved, and would even consider replacing my MPC Live 2 with this.
