Received mine this week. I really, really wanted to like it - the idea having a small battle mixer together with an iPad Pro sounded so good. But I didn’t.
First, the device started ‘chirping’ after a while (near the USB ports). Switching from an Anker charger to a Ugreen helped a while. It became unresponsive from time to time, requiring a restart of either the software or the device.
Besides these difficulties, I personally did not like the layout too much:
- There’s a large section dedicated to FX - which in my opinion should be used rarely. Too much use of FX annoys me. It’s wasted on me and I didn’t come up with a useful replacement to assign to this section.
- The pads have no pressure point whatsoever.
- The knobs controlling volume and balance of the headphone output are miniscule and have too much resistance for my taste. I use them a lot, I personally need them ‘handier’.
- The headphone cue buttons are in the FX section which is non-standard, at least in my opinion.
Anyway, besides the technical flaws (might be a defective unit), those are just personal preferences. It’s not for me, I’m staying with my Denon MC 7000 (which of course is a totally different beast).
