KB-1 Keyboard Suite App Reviews

It took me a little bit to get it figured out how to get MPE midi data out of my iPad and into Ableton’s instruments, but once I did it worked awesome. Ableton supports MPE as of version 11 in a few of their most popular instruments including Wavetable, Simpler and Sampler. Once you get midi in from KB-1, you can map the notes, and x/y touch positions of slide and glide to any parameter you want in the Ableton instruments. The app is very well designed, I just wish there was some documentation s

Seems to crash in the new logic for iPad… hoping this will be updated

While I think this is a really good app to have on hand, as you can play all your things without using external midi controller with multiple instances in a AU host, it’s not perfect. The Chord theory is maddening. Pretty sure Gminor isnt in the C MAJOR scale. Pretty rookie. Dev clearly put a lot of work into this wish they’d learn some basic theory and apply it here. Cem Olcay pumps out a app a month that uses proper basic and extended theory so how hard could it be?

This app is perfect but I wish you could customize your layouts a bit more. Mainly like colors. Especially on the drum pads. If I could do like green kicks and purple snares and yellow hats etc. this app would be 5 stars. Cmon Kai, please?!? I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d appreciate that feature. Hahah.

Please, please fix the app so the scale matches the label. This would seem to be a crucial function for a keyboard app. When choosing a scale now the scale presented is not the chosen scale- the label doesn’t match the scale. Other than that, the app works well.

Do not see this As Auv3 host anymore on any Music apps please bring back ( :

I was looking for an mpe controller that I could use with my Mac on the road. This thing is perfect.

basically the title, great app I love it

This device is very much appreciated for I’m a Digital Performer user and this does many things that simplify my workflow. The fact that it is MPE enabled unlocks a whole bunch of shortcuts. The “Roli” slide action is also cool.

I’m not a music-theory expert but why does KB-1 give you a minor 1 chord when you specify a major key? The scales are totally whack-a -doo. So frustrating! Otherwise this would be a 5-star app! Please fix this!
