- Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2022I use this controller to switch Neural DSP Archetype presets on a Mac Mini M1.
My first grief with the unit was about connectivity. My Mac flat out refused to recognise it, yet the Neural DSP bluetooth midi actually connected to it immediately. Downloading the app on my Mac was a failure as well, since it's just not meant to work on the computer. Please remember - the app will only work on either android or iOS platform (i.e. your phone or tablet).
Second point -instead of specifying the CC# or PC# they just wrote "Data1" on the app. It was another 30 minutes before I got that.
Third point -I didn't get the hotone press for an expression pedal, opting for an M-audio one instead. It still doesn't work. However, it might be a problem with my midi programming.
Now, the good things -it's light, small, and if you managed to set it right -works perfectly well. Currently I use 2 separate banks to switch 8 presets, and that's like barely 1% of all the the crazy stuff you can do with some ingenuity and deeper dives into midi.
The bottom line -I knew nothing about midi before I got into all this, and none of this is exactly 'noob' friendly. The controller is worth the money and will be a big help, but the wasted half a day on my "crash course" in midi comes down to the lack of proper support by the company and information available online at this point. For that, I'll take off 1 star.
