10 Positive User Reviews for Velocity Keyboard
Finally!
A brilliant utilization of touch technology, and not just the wonky 3D version. Finger surface area is used to transmit after-touch data. This is also MPE. A must have!
Please consider custom key (pad) positioning and note assignment for drums and percussion.
Very useful controller!
Very good MPE or class compliant midi controller. A nice substitute to control apps that have midi in when you are in bed or at your desk or in front of your tv and what to practice some music concepts. Useful inside AUM for apps like noise which have MPE sounds.
Excellent controller
Certainly the best and most expressive control surface i have used. The bad reviews are from people who either dont understand what midi is or just misread the details, it is an excellent AU from an outstanding developer.
This is the one you want
I design and repair analog and digital music circuits professionally, i’m an expert player, I’ve been using midi since before cakewalk existed and I have looked all over the goddamn place for an MPE controller for my iPad. I also recently ended my journey into the endless settings of GeoShred because this is MPE controller works more intuitively. I would give it 10 stars if I could.
Thank you for the update!
I recommended that there be an option for the app to place the sustain button on the bottom of the screen for easier and more functional playability, and the devs listened!! It's perfect, it's the only midi controller i use now for everything!
Great App - PLEASE let user choose leftmost key
Love the app ! Easy, responsive, fun, expressive. Enhances my experience of playing synths!
But in keyboard layout PLEASE allow user to choose the leftmost key in each row !! Why should this be fixed at C?
E.g.
- my song has a lowest key of B and I have to waste 11 keys to its left (unused in that song)
- I want to play rapid runs that go across different rows of keys without bouncing my hand around. To do this I need to choose the overlap of keys of each row, the keyboard equivalent of the Tu
You Need This
I am using currently With AUM and ISymphonic. I have multiple isymphonics (you need this too) open creating quite dramatic sessions, with pianos, strings , tremolo strings and woodwinds. I am controlling all with this app. I find the chords I can create on this square keyboard take me places I don’t seem to reach on a standard keyboard.
Still one of the best touch screen keyboards
I’ve been using this for years and have purchased many keyboard controllers. There are many good ones, but this is by far the most expressive and fun. If you dial it in for each synth, you’ll understand why. Great with software and hardware synths.
Doesn’t output sound on its own
I bought this thinking it would produce sound on my iPad but it appears to be a MIDI controller with no voices of its own. I wouldn’t mind using GarageBand through Audiobus but it appears it only works through MIDI. Maybe the developer will enable this in the future, but the app seems to no longer be under development. I’ve asked for a refund because I don’t have a MIDI instrument so this is useless for me.

Poor midi control and documentation
This app does not deliver the advertised velocity control. It consistently continues sending midi notes and the only way to stop it is to disconnect it from what it’s controlling. The interface is flat, monochrome, and it’s difficult to see what is engaged. The row of buttons at the interface top is unexplained. Changing values there seems to have no effect and the buttons revert to some default value on their own. There is a help section but no manual. There is also no way to give the deve
