5 ★ It was really good, sounded fine, and I like the way the keys respond. I never could figure out how to connect it to my laptop to use it as an actual MIDI keyboard, but that didn't take away from the good experience I had.
5 ★ I have it all set up to the point of connecting it to FL studio.how do I do that ? And wouldn't it be better to use the official FL studio app that turns phone into a midi controller-- how do I connect it to fl studio, please help
5 ★ Absolutely perfect. A must-have for every musician at any level of skill. As a pocket piano and a midi interface for a controller, this app is more valuable and useful than the calculator app.
1 ★ The midi out didn't work for me, and I have a drum pad app that does just fine.
5 ★ Works Flawlessly: This is for FL studio and probably is the same for Ableton and other DAW. To make it work, plug in your phone, connect it as a MIDI controller, in the app set both input and output to the external MIDI setup, in your DAW go to your MIDI settings, select MIDI function for "(generic controller)", and set enable. It should now connect seamlessly, to set it up to not have latency, change the settings in-app to C5, as FL Studio is keyed in at C5.
4 ★ I really like this app because it's just the piano keyboard, which is all I need really. However I'm only giving 4/5 stars because recently there's no sound when I connect my earphones, and even if I remove them the sound still doesn't play. The problem only resolves when I restart the phone and play using the speaker. I would love it if that issue was fixed but it's not a deal-breaker for me.
3 ★ The MIDI keyboard and the app has a lag and cannot be played !! I used Samsung s10 phone with this app ! I didnt really like the. Quality ! But it can detect a midi device but o ly problem I had was the enormous lag
4 ★ It sounds nice but why i can't record songs and stuff, otherwise it is ok
5 ★ Works very smoothly. I am using it with ableton 9 and have no problem at al. You have to enable midi interface in developer option if you are using android. Cheers!
5 ★ Worked seamlessly for MIDI-in on my Samsung S9 with both the Roland UM-ONE mk-2 interface and with the Alesis Vortex wireless dongle (using the cheap USB-c to USB-a adapter that came with the phone). Doesn't support pitch bend but I can't think of any MIDI freeware android apps that do! Super stable, too. No annoying ads (unlike some MIDI apps I've paid money for). Couldn't ask for anything else in terms of just making my phone a cheap and simple midi module.
4 ★ Great app! The minor thing is that, sometimes the app didn't want to connect with my laptop.
3 ★ Works perfectly on my DAW, however when Im pressing the C4 key, all of the C1, C2, C3, C5, C6 keys are also pressing. Im wondering how can i fix that one, is it an issue?
5 ★ Awesome app!. slight bugs are there tho! . I'm missing touch sometimes! keyboard isn't responding to all touches!.
2 ★ Can't play chords as it sustains unreasonably.... sometimes bass notes appear without even playing it....this app is lol as of now
5 ★ It's great. It could have been better if we got midi over wifi though.
